Appearing on the latest episode of Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert<\/a> <\/em>podcast, Ferreira addressed the behind-the-scenes drama that seemed to overshadow her seemingly diminished role on the most recent season of the HBO series. \u201cWhen people ask me about season two, they come at me like I was some sort of victim,\u201d the actor said. \u201cI\u2019m always, like, No, it\u2019s okay, promise. It\u2019s good<\/em>. I kind of got sucked into this drama that I never asked to be in and that I\u2019ve never talked about. Don\u2019t believe everything you read.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Ferreira went on to clarify that it was a “mutual decision” between her and Levinson to leave the show, noting that there was a lack of storylines that made sense for her character going forward. \u201cI don\u2019t know if it was going to do her justice, and I think both parties knew that. I really wanted to be able to not be the fat best friend. I don\u2019t want to play that, and I think they didn\u2019t want that either.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSam writes for, like, things that he relates to. I don\u2019t think he relates to Kat. I like Kat, so I get to go on my own path,” Ferreira explained. “At first, I was like, \u2018Oh, my God, I\u2019m a flop. I\u2019m a loser.\u2019 It really has been a good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

She went on to describe her experience filming season two of Euphoria<\/em> as “a struggle” and that she felt like \u201cmaybe I overstayed my welcome a little bit.\u201d The show’s most recent season was plagued by rumors that the filming process was especially grueling, with the Daily Beast<\/em><\/a> reporting 17-hour work days, cast members not being able to use the bathroom when they needed and Levinson screaming at actors in order to elicit more emotional responses. Ferreira specifically addressed the tabloid rumor that she stormed off set over differences with Levinson, clarifying, \u201cI actually did not walk off set. I did sprain my ankle once and had to go get an X-ray. Maybe that\u2019s what they mean?\u201d<\/p>\n
