Euphoria left viewers with so many questions throughout season 3, including whether Maddy and Alamo actually had sex — which Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje is finally addressing.

“It was an interesting scene because it’s so layered. It’s very loaded,” Akinnuoye-Agbaje, 58, exclusively told Us Weekly at the MPTF NextGen Summer Party, which was presented by Delta Air Lines and Waymo, on Sunday, May 31.

Akinnuoye-Agbaje pointed out that his character, Alamo, “had orchestrated the whole sequence” between him and Maddy (Alexa Demie).

“From the bathing suit to the music to the champagne, he knew exactly what he was going to do,” he explained. “So myself and Yana Grebenyuk Sam [Levinson], we discussed that. And whilst it was going to be flirtatious from Alamo’s perspective — and playful — there’s an ominous reality that, you know, you’re going to do what I tell you to do now.”

Euphoria‘s long-awaited return has been met with major backlash due to numerous explicit — and controversial — scenes. The HBO series, which premiered in 2019, has always been known to push boundaries while following teenager Rue’s (Zendaya) attempt to remain sober after struggling with addiction. While the first two seasons were set in high school, […]

Akinnuoye-Agbaje continued: “To answer your question, did he sleep with her? Well, he was not there to play with her toes. For what she’s asking him to do — take out a life and give a million dollars — yeah, he most definitely did what he needed to do with that beautiful lady.”

The confusion originally started after a May episode of the hit HBO show had Alamo make Maddy put on a bathing suit and get in a hot tub with him. He ultimately agreed to help Maddy get the $1 million needed to save Nate (Jacob Elordi), but the scene cut off before the rest of their interaction was shown.

In the season 3 finale, which aired on Sunday, Maddy visited Alamo at his strip club, where he contemplated his life choices. He also made a move on Maddie while proposing they have four kids together. Alamo started to touch Maddy — who got on his lap — before the scene cut out again amid an implied but unseen kiss.

Alamo’s conversation with Maddy didn’t last long, however, because Ali (Colman Domingo) arrived to avenge Rue’s (Zendaya) death.

While speaking to Us at the annual fundraiser, Akinnuoye-Agbaje addressed possible backlash toward Alamo’s involvement in Rue’s fatal overdose.

Euphoria has caused a lot of confusion for viewers throughout the seasons — and now they are asking what exactly took place between Maddy and Alamo. Ahead of the season 3 finale, Maddy (Alexa Demie) had to ask Alamo (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) for money after Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) found out that Nate (Jacob Elordi) only had […]

“Look, it’s a voracious fan base. It’s really their show,” he said. “It preceded me. I’ve done my part. Whatever they say and do is their part, so that’s where I leave it.”

Akinnuoye-Agbaje then weighed in on the possibility of Euphoria continuing with more seasons — despite Levinson confirming the show is over.

“The beautiful thing about Euphoria is — first of all — this incredible performance that Zendaya has done. She narrates the show and we’ve seen it largely through her perspective,” he noted. “One of the beautiful things is that [her death] opens it up to the perspective of so many of the other characters. Whether they’re within Rue’s group and vicinity, you have Laurie’s gang and you have Alamo’s gang and you have Rue’s friends. There’s room to explore those backstories, those relationships and those adventures that they would have.”

He concluded: “This is TV. There’s always a world in which it could — if they wanted to — [they could explore the world more]. Whether they want to or not … I don’t know.”

Euphoria is currently streaming on HBO Max.

Sydney Sweeney didn’t want to “skirt around” any nudity when it came to her Euphoria season 3 story line, according to the show’s creator, Sam Levinson.

“When I first wrote it … I thought, ‘Well, maybe, we shoot all of this, and we don’t have any nudity,’” Levinson, 41, said during the Monday, June 1, episode of The New York Times’ “Popcast” podcast. “I was talking to her about, maybe, there’s ways to shoot around certain [things] — and she looked at me, and she’s like, ‘Are you kidding? I’m playing an OnlyFans model.’”

Levinson made it clear that he “always” has a discussion with actors about “what works best for the character.” Sweeney, 28, wasn’t afraid to take any risks.

“I think she’s a totally fearless actor. She’s also just wonderfully professional, and shows up just game every day,” he continued. “I adore working with her, because there’s such a flexibility in terms of the performance.”

Levinson said there’s “a lot of trust” between him and Sweeney.

“I can say, ‘Why don’t we try this scene just a little crazier, with a little more humor.’ Suddenly, this whole other version of the scene can come out just based on her performance,” he added. “We’re tackling this world of OnlyFans where women are being paid to whisper into an ear-shaped microphone and lick it. There is a level of absurdity to it that is just fun.”

While other story lines had a more definitive end during the Sunday, May 31, season finale, Sweeney’s was left open-ended with her final scene taking place alongside Maude Apatow. Cassie (Sweeney) was washing her sex toys while her sister, Lexi (Apatow), got emotional over Rue’s (Zendaya) death.

Sydney Sweeney has been candid about what goes into stripping down for nude scenes in Euphoria and other projects. After Euphoria premiered in 2019, Sweeney, who plays Cassie, opened up about the downsides of being naked on screen. “I don’t think as many people took me seriously in Euphoria because I took my shirt off,” […]

Ahead of Sunday’s episode, Sweeney took to Instagram with several behind-the-scenes photos from the show’s final season.

“It’s called… acting,” she captioned the post, which included a nearly nude photo. (Sweeney’s topless scenes received widespread criticism throughout the season.)

Levison previously addressed fan backlash to Sweeney’s NSFW story line during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in April.

“[Cassie] has got her dog house and her little dog ears and the nose, and that has its own humor,” he said at the time. “But what makes the scene is the fact that her housekeeper is the one filming it.”

He added, “What we wanted to always find is the other layer of absurdity that we’re able to tie into it so that we’re not too inside of her fantasy or illusion. The gag is to jump out, to break the wall.”

Whether it be lingering post-acne marks, sun spots or pesky discoloration, an uneven skin tone can be surprisingly difficult to treat. That’s why Fig.1 Even Tone Serum is essential for getting to the root of the problem, helping address the issue at its source instead of relying on makeup to cover it up. Designed to target discoloration from multiple angles, the lightweight formula combines four dermatologist-loved brightening ingredients to help reveal a more radiant complexion over time.

At the heart of the Even Tone Serum is 4% niacinamide, a multitasking ingredient known for improving skin tone, strengthening the skin barrier, and minimizing the appearance of pores. It works alongside 3% tranexamic acid for stubborn discoloration and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Alpha-arbutin and azelaic acid are also superstars in the formula, helping refine texture. Together, these ingredients help visibly reduce the appearance of hard-to-treat dark spots and general unevenness.

Incorporating the Even Tone Serum into your routine is seamless. After cleansing, apply one to two pumps on dry skin before moisturizer. The texture layers nicely underneath other skincare products, making it suitable for both morning and evening use.

It also absorbs into the skin quickly without leaving behind a tacky film. Makeup lovers will appreciate that it doesn’t pill underneath products, a common complaint with some brightening treatments. Instead, skin feels hydrated and comfortable after application.

Plus, the Even Tone Serum iis suitable for all skin types — yes, sensitive skin included. Whether you lean dry, oily or combination, it feels comfortable without stinging, burning or feeling heavy. Because the formula focuses on brightening ingredients rather than aggressive exfoliants, it’s also a gentler option for anyone looking to address discoloration without compromising their skin barrier.

If dark spots, post-acne marks, or an uneven complexion have been keeping your skin from looking its brightest, Fig.1 Even Tone Serum is worth trying out. Add it to your cart to experience your best skin yet!

Daphne Joy is trending on social media platforms after a video surfaced of her, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, and an alleged male escort engaging in a sexual act. Combs and the escort, believed to be Sly Diggler, have not addressed the viral tape. However, Daphne briefly broke her silence in a now-deleted statement.

Daphne Joy Says She Did Not Consent To Being Filmed, Describes Pain Of Reliving Her “Abuse”

As mentioned, the intimate tape shows Joy, Diddy and Sly Digger nude and involved sexually. It’s unclear who first leaked it or why. Amid the tape going viral, DJ Vlad confirmed its validity, revealing a previous interview with Sly.

The following statement first appeared on Daphne Joy’s Instagram Stories. Sometime after being posted for at least 43 minutes, the statement was seemingly deleted. However, The Shade Room can confirm its validity. The lengthy statement opens with Daphne saying, “Everybody plays the fool sometimes, and I have been the biggest fool.” She admitted that at the time of the tape she wanted her man to “be happy and satisfied” by fulfilling all his desires, regardless if it cost her boundaries.

“I deeply loved him and I believed he loved me too…It’s still so painful for me to process the harsh reality and truth of that relationship…but as time passes and in my quiet moments…I realize that it was far from love,” Joy wrote.

Daphne clarified that she “never consented” to filming the now-viral intimate tape. She alleged that “the person in the video” previously blackmailed her, requesting money and threatening to leak the footage. She did not clarify whether “the person” she referred to was Diddy or the alleged male escort, Sly Diggler. Daphne Joy said the man eventually sold the tape to “a giant media outlet,” who reached out to her for comment on it. After informing them that the tape was “revenge porn and an extortion scheme,” the media company allegedly backed off. “…I know they are probably reading this and I want to say thank you for doing the right thing…even though years later..it’s come back to haunt me again,” she wrote.

Additionally, Daphne Joy admitted that it took her “all day to find the courage to rewatch [her] abuse.” She said watching the intimate video was triggering and painful, citing the “inner turmoil and pressures” she felt in such moments.

“I was not and was never in my right mind throughout the entirety of that relationship…seeing myself so lost is excruciating. I just want to hold that girl in that room and get her out of there…and tell her that wasn’t love and she didn’t need to do this for love. My heart is breaking as I type this. I wish so many things were different but I can’t take back the hands of time.”

Is “Jane” Daphne? The Internet Seems To Think So

This intimate tape comes nearly a year after “Jane,” an ex-girlfriend of Combs, began testimony against him on June 5, 2025. During the trial, the father of Daphne Joy’s son, social media users and bloggers have speculated that she was the anonymous witness known as “Jane.” However, neither Daphne nor her legal team has ever confirmed whether she was the witness in question.

On the stand, “Jane” described a romantic relationship that began in 2021. Ultimately, she became financially dependent on him, including the funding of her living space. She shared that their intimate encounters often involved other men and “hotel nights,” otherwise known as “freak-offs,” and heavy drug consumption, supplemented by Diddy. One encounter involved sexual acts with three men back-to-back and another encounter in 2022 allegedly lasted three and a half days, per “Jane.” At first, she said, she gave subtle clues that she didn’t want to participate before later voicing it. One text she sent Combs was read in court and said:

“I’m so much more than being left in the dark of a hotel room. My heart is breaking. I don’t want to play this role in your life anymore. It’s dark, sleazy and makes me feel disgusted with myself. It’s the only reason you have me around and why you pay for my house. I don’t want to feel obligated to perform and fear losing you…I just want to talk like adults and figure where we go from here.”

Again, Daphne Joy has never publicly identified herself as the witness “Jane” or addressed the speculations.

Daphne Joy Previously Called Diddy Her “Favorite Person” 

Back in November 2022, Joy turned heads when she publicly attached herself to Diddy. Around this time, he was openly kicking it with Yung Miami, a.k.a. his Shawty Wop. Especially at his 53rd birthday bash. While he was partying with Caresha and thanking her for her love, Daphne Joy took to the internet with birthday tributes. She shared one photo of them, with Combs facing away from the camera and captioned it, “Happy Birthday to my favorite person @diddy.” Then, in another post on Instagram Stories, she shared a photo of her and Combs in the ocean with the caption, “Blessed.”

Bright, glossy hair is always in demand during the summer, but between heat, humidity, chlorine, and sun exposure, the season can also be one of the toughest times to maintain strong strands.

So, what does it take to achieve lustrous, hydrated, and polished hair while avoiding dryness, frizz, and oil? Luckily, celebrity hairstylist Travis Ogletree is sharing his golden rules with ET.

The hair expert, whose clients include Shay Mitchell, Lana Del Rey, Miranda Kerr, January Jones and more, is known for creating effortless California-inspired color that looks like it was earned after a long weekend at the beach. But according to Ogletree, maintaining that lived-in look takes more than just sunshine.

According to Ogletree, a clean scalp is the foundation of healthy hair, and the key to preventing greasy roots during the warmer months.

“Apply conditioner to your ends before you shampoo your hair. Then, make sure you count a full 100 when you massage your scalp. Most of the time, we think we’re washing our hair for a lot longer than we actually are. If you’re not getting that sudsing ingredient in the shampoo to work, you’re not removing excess oils.”

To stretch your wash day a little longer as temperatures rise, he suggests going in for a second round.

“To take it up a notch, do a double cleanse or use a detox shampoo like the K18 Peptide Prep Detox Shampoo.”

Once you’ve eliminated any buildup, it’s equally important to replenish moisture, especially if you’re spending time in the pool or ocean.

“People want to go brighter for the summer, but are also swimming more, which can lead to extra dryness. You can combat that by using the Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask because it’s made for all hair types, including fine hair. Put it on at least once a week while you’re showering or on freshly washed hair. You can even leave it on and do a chic look with a Sophie Buhai or Crown Affair clip,” he says.

Whether you’re embracing your natural texture or going for a sleek blowout, the goal is to secure radiance without weighing the hair down.

“I love the RŌZ Milk Hair Serum, the REHAB. Hair Milk Conditioning Heat Protection Spray, or the Davines OI All In One Hair Milk mixed with the Davines OI Hair Oil and Liquid Spell Reinforcing Bodifying Fluid. They’re all lightweight but hydrating and give a little bit of hold,” Ogletree notes.

And for an even smoother finish, he recommends reaching for the ghd Duet Blowdry Hair Dryer Brush.

“It’s especially great for summertime because it recirculates airflow instead of blowing out heat, which helps create incredible shine because there’s less friction on the hair.”

Then comes the final touch.

“After you’re done, spray the Cécred Flexible Hold Hairspray. It smells so good and makes me want to buy a candle with the same fragrance,” he shares.

But hair isn’t the only thing that deserves a little summer love.

“A good SPF is essential because although we may want to be bronzed, we can also be protected. To avoid getting your scalp sunburned, apply the Peter Thomas Roth Anti-Aging Defense Sunscreen Stick on your part line and otherwise, wear a hat,” he notes.

For those looking to carry that sun-kissed effect beyond their tresses, Ogletree also loves the Dolce Glow Self-Tanning Mist and the Victoria Beckham Beauty Colour Wash Bronze Water Tint.

The payoff? Silky locks paired with a natural-looking glow from head to toe, all without overdoing it in the sun.

Which means that by the time you’re sitting in Ogletree’s chair at his Treehouse Studio in Los Angeles, California this fall, your mane may need far less upkeep than you think.

“People are surprised that they just need a toner to go over their blonde, a Moroccanoil Color Calypso Gloss to get them to their desired shade, or a professional K18 treatment to rebuild the structure of the hair after it’s been compromised.”
