trisha paytas says suzanne somers is the reason she ended up on euphoria and honestly the lore just keeps going
the saranghae era, a james charles callout, a surprise hbo cameo, and pride month. it has been a week and a half for this woman.
we are deep in what historians will one day call the trisha paytas maximalist era and there is no sign of a cooldown.
in an interview published june 9th, trisha apparently revealed that the late suzanne somers was a direct influence on her cameo appearance in euphoria. the specifics of how threes company connects to hbo's most chaotic teen drama are, per the coverage, genuinely substantive — trisha reportedly cited somers as a blueprint for a certain kind of fearless onscreen presence. chat, this is real.
separately, a clip from the same press cycle appears to show trisha expressing shock over a sydney sweeney scene in the show involving a racial slur. per the aol.com report from mid-may, trisha described the moment as genuinely surprising to her on set. two data points. one euphoria cameo. the lore grows.
meanwhile the k-pop arc has entered its consequences phase. 'saranghae' dropped may 27th at royal albert hall, which is a sentence that exists in reality, but by late may multiple outlets including msn and the straits times were reporting that bts fan communities had resurfaced objections to trisha based on her past actions. the backlash, per those reports, was swift and organized in the way only k-pop fandoms can be — which is to say: extremely.
trisha also allegedly went on record around may 20th calling james charles 'awful' and saying, directly, 'i hate him', per imdb news coverage of what appears to be a rant timed loosely to a then-active scandal around charles. no further context was provided. none was needed.
the pride month content rollout has continued in parallel — trisha appeared in a yahoo roundup alongside rosie o'donnell and was featured in a separate aol spread with zac posen and sami sheen. the benihana collab is live. the euphoria cameo is confirmed. the james charles situation is whatever it is.
this is not a slow news cycle for one person. this is a content portfolio.
per available reporting, trisha is somewhere between three active story arcs simultaneously, which feels correct for june 2026.
anyway. suzanne somers would have understood.
