'Euphoria' Star Colman Domingo Defends Show Against Toxic Set

Domingo Dismisses Claims of Long, Disorganized Shoots as Part of 'Normal Work Day' in Television Industry

Colman Domingo, an Emmy-winning actor from HBO's 'Euphoria', has defended the show against allegations of a toxic work environment, stating that long hours and intense schedules are part of a 'normal work day' in the television industry.
Domingo's comments come in response to a 2022 investigation by The Daily Beast, which reported multiple complaints made to SAG-AFTRA about long, disorganized night shoots and inadequate meal and bathroom breaks for background actors.
Domingo also defended 'Euphoria' creator Sam Levinson, amid reports of a falling out with series regular Barbie Ferreira over the direction of her character, Kat, during Season 2.
Ferreira has previously denied reports that she stormed off set, describing her exit from the show as a 'mutual decision'.
Despite the allegations, 'Euphoria' is set to return for its third season in 2025.
