A video circulating online that appears to show Sydney Sweeney passing gas on the set of HBO's Euphoria is not authentic. While the behind-the-scenes footage is genuine, a source confirmed to TMZ that the sound effect was digitally added for views. The clip has garnered over a million views in one version amid online debate.
The short clip depicts Sweeney preparing to film a scene for the popular series when what sounds like flatulence occurs just as 'action' is called. It quickly spread across social media, sparking arguments over its legitimacy. A source with direct knowledge told TMZ the video's visual element comes from real set footage, but someone overlaid a fake fart noise to generate clicks—and it succeeded, with one iteration exceeding one million views. This incident follows another debunked rumor last month involving an alleged feud between Sweeney and co-star Zendaya, which TMZ also clarified as baseless after examining a behind-the-scenes photo. Sweeney, known for her role in Euphoria, continues work on the show's upcoming season amid these viral distractions.
