The fifth episode of the second season of "Euphoria" marked a heartbreaking turning point for Zendaya's Rue Bennett. And the Emmy winner hopes fans can still sympathize with her distressed protagonist.
Shortly before the hit show's latest episode, "Stand Still Like the Hummingbird," premiered Sunday night on HBO Max, Zendaya released a thoughtful statement reflecting on her character's turbulent battle with grief and drug addiction.
In the latest installment of the gritty teen drama, Rue repeatedly risks her life, breaks down in tears and becomes verbally and physically violent toward her loved ones after her mother and friends stage an intervention to help her recover from her season-long relapse.
