Just a few weeks ago the actress was trending on Twitter yet again due to a video of a woman getting hit going viral. Fans joked and linked the woman to Zendaya because they shared similar facial features and they both had curly hair. 

The “Euphoria” star posted two Instagram Stories Wednesday afternoon that appeared to be in response to Twitter’s false claims

In one story she wrote, “See now, this is why I stay off Twitter… Just Making stuff up for no reason..weekly.” In which she followed after with a post that said, “Anyway back to filming [tennis ball emoji] Challengers.”

While the Emmy Award-winning actress didn’t blatantly say whether her posts were addressing the recent rumors that surrounded, people can imply what situations she was referring to. 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
