Euphoria fans are finally getting some answers about Barbie Ferreira s departure.

The actor announced in August that she wasnt returning for a third season , amid a flurry of speculation she was fired from the HBO drama, but clarified on Mondays episode of the Armchair Expert podcast with Dax Shepard that creative differences were to blame.

I dont think there was a place for her to go, said Ferreira about her character . I mean, I think there were places you could go. I just dont think it would have fit into the show. I dont know if it was gonna do her justice. And I think both parties knew that.

I really wanted to be able to not be the fat best friend, she continued. I dont want to play that, and I think they didnt want that either.

Fans had previously relied on rumors from February 2022 that Ferreira stormed off set after clashing with Euphoria creator Sam Levinson . She told Shepard this narrative had taken on a life of its own and that she got sucked into this drama which saw fans express their condolences.

I actually did not walk off set, Ferreira said. I did sprain my ankle once and had to go get an X-ray. Maybe thats what they mean.
