- *Euphoria*'s controversial series finale drew a cryptic response from star Zendaya's mother.

Following Sunday's series finale with the conclusion of season 3, episode 8 — which (spoiler alert) featured the death of her daughter's lead character, Rue Bennett — Claire Stoermer posted a short note to her Instagram Story.

"Lots of messages in my DM’s from people about last night’s episode. I’m gonna keep my thoughts to myself," Stoermer wrote against a rainbow backdrop.

"Definitely made me sad…." Stoermer continued in her initial post, emphasizing a dramatic pause with an extended ellipses. "And other emotions as well. But just gonna leave it right there……"
