Normally poised and graceful, Zendaya found herself under fire this week after a clip went viral showing her walking past a group of paparazzi without acknowledging them—despite repeated shouts for her to wave or smile. Social media was split, with some defending her right to privacy and others calling her “cold” or “ungrateful.”
Her rep later stated she was coming from a memorial service and asked for compassion. Zendaya posted a simple message on IG stories: “You never know what someone’s walking away from. Grace > judgment.” Fans rallied around her, using the hashtag #LetZendayaBreathe.
