Zendaya laugh hysterically after hoi polloi thought she might ’ve casually dropped that she ’s engaged is one of the many reasons she ’s the best .
When you’re a celebrity, there are certain things that come with the territory that I, for one, would not want to deal with. Namely,being followed by paparazziwhen you do literally anything and having everything you do watched by millions of people.
Honestly, I commend the celebrities who stay very active on social media because I kind of understand whya lot of them stay off itand/or keep their socials private.
Zendayahas always been a celeb who loves to engage with her fans online, and it often leads to some hilarious and iconic moments.
That last film takes me out … why am I that close to the tablehttps://t.co/IUesTEJkWJ
However, as she’s gotten more famous, especially after the success ofEuphoriaand starring in theSpider-Manmovies. She’s beenvery open when talking abouthow her level of fame is hard to deal with, especially when it comes to people wanting to know everything about her personal life, aka her relationship withTom Holland.
Rumors are constantly spreading aboutZendayaand Tom, and it happened again recently over something as small as a selfie Zendaya posted to her Instagram story.
Recently, Zendaya posted a selfie of her wearing a Warriors hat, but apparently, all people noticed was the ring she was wearing.
Now, Zendaya hasworn this ring before, it’s just in this particular photo, she happened to put it on her ring finger. This apparently caused people to start wondering if she was engaged to Tom.
A few minutes later, Zendaya went back to Instagram to call people out for wrongly assuming the photo had anything to do with her ring.
In thenow-deleted Instagram story, Zendaya said, “I can’t post anything, you guys! I posted it for my hat! Like?! Like, not for the ring on my right finger, you guys.”
Then, she hilariously added, “You think that’s how I’d drop the news?! WHAT?!”
What’s wild is this isn’t even the first time it’s happened. In late 2021, Zendaya posted a selfie to her stories, with the caption, “It was time for a change,” showcasing a new haircut, but peopleran wild with engagement rumorsbecause of the ring she had on.
Darnell Appling, Zendaya’s assistant and friend, also went live on Instagram to say that she is not engaged,saying, “That woman is not engaged. Not at all.”
He alsocalled people outfor continuously spreading false rumors about Zendaya, saying, “Y’all gotta be careful about what y’all saying — last year y’all had her 95 year old grandmother…calling asking if she was pregnant…She workin' she was filming a movie and y’all put out because y’all haven’t seen her on Instagram or social media, y’all put out that she was pregnant.”
Darnell ended his Instagram live, saying, “Y’all interrupting people’s lives, she got a mom over here, y’all all in her DMs, messing with her, grandparents, everything. Stop, cut it out.”
The whole thing wrapped up with Zendaya re-posting the photo of her in the Warriors hat, but this time it was a full body photo, and not a close-up.
Anyway, I love that Zendaya has a sense of humor about all of this, but I think we can all agree that Zendaya and Tom deserve to live their livesas privately as they can.
