‘Euphoria’ Fans React To Barbie Ferreira’s Exit

Euphoria” fans were stunned by the news of Barbie’s exit and like many times before they took to the streets of social media to threaten the show’s creator, Sam Levinson.

One fan wrote, Sam Levinson offered no resolution for any of Kat’s struggles. Instead, he made her a teenage camgirl, had her emotionally manipulate her boyfriend, then he practically turned her into a non-speaking background extra. Now, she’s gone completely yeah that makes sense.”

Another fan tweeted, “You couldn’t write a well-developed fat female character that wasn’t made just to be just flat comic relief but you decided to show balls, d**ks, and ti**ies every episode instead. Sam Levinson, you will pay.”
