Some social media users defended the actress, arguing that she was trying not to steal the spotlight from her boyfriend

Tom Holland is experiencing one of the most special moments of his career: he has made the leap to the theater with a version of Romeo and Juliet in London’s West End. Every night, the actor transforms into the famous Romeo, which has led him to undergo a radical change in appearance.

The anticipation to see him is such that his followers crowd the theater’s exit, and the organizers have been forced to manage the crowds that want to see the actor. The surge of fans is even greater if Zendaya, the British actor’s partner, is also present.

Strong criticism towards Zendaya for hiding

However, her latest appearance after the show has caused a great stir on social media. In the circulating videos, she is seen rushing into a car, surrounded by security and not looking at the fans who were waiting for her. Zendaya’s behavior has been the target of numerous criticisms, as many people describe her attitude as disrespectful.

This sharply contrasts with Tom Holland’s attitude, as seen in the clip where he stops for a few seconds, greets, and thanks the people who had come to see him on his way out. In contrast to what happens with his girlfriend, this attitude has been highly praised.

Amidst the commotion, there are those who defend Zendaya’s position, interpreting her behavior as a way to give the spotlight to Holland, who is the real participant in the event. Thus, in order not to steal the limelight, she would prefer to keep a low profile. “She knows that the star of the night is Tom and acts accordingly,” a follower commented.

Since the premiere of the play on May 23, 2024, Zendaya has been a regular attendee at Holland’s performances, although always with the same reserved attitude in front of the cameras. Her support for her boyfriend has been unwavering, but she has also wanted to stay out of the spotlight during these moments, only now it has gone viral.

No photos or autographs

Holland’s fans have caused traffic problems and disturbances around the theater. In order to avoid further complications, new measures have been implemented, including expediting the actors’ exit. According to information from The Sun, Holland has been “more than cooperative with the new rules” and has avoided signing autographs or taking selfies with fans: he simply gives a general greeting and leaves.
