Another strike (preceded by fake-dead Jimmy Kimmel and record-low ratings) to add against this year’s Emmy awards: Zendaya’s mom supposedly received trouble from security while trying to hug her daughter before her acceptance. Zendaya won the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Emmy for her work as the drug-addled, conflicted teenager Rue on Euphoria.
“Made my way to Z before they awarded her the Emmy and gave her the biggest hug and said… breathe!!!” Stoermer shares in an Instagram story, per Insider. “The man who tried to stop me said ‘where are your credentials?’ I said ‘I’m Zendaya’s mom’ and kept walking!! hahaha! I never name drop like that but I have to do it!”
