How’s it going everyone, I’m Emile Ennis Jr. back here with Clevver News and I want
to give a little PSA. If you have nothing nice to say don’t say it at ALL, because
in 2020 you never know who is watching, listening or when Zoom will malfunction!
Okay, so let’s rewind to 2019 when HBO’s ‘Euphoria’ hit the airwaves and took TV
by storm! If you’re not familiar with Euphoria, you better get familiar because come December,
a few bridge episodes will be dropping to tease what’s to come in season 2!
Your main characters in the show are Rue played by Zendaya, Nate played by Jacob Elordi, Jules
played by Hunter Schaffer and quite frankly a TON more because everyone is a vital character
to the show.
BUT, let’s focus in on Lukas Gage who played Tyler Clarkson. Tyler appeared early on in
the season and falls victim to Nate’s angry and hasty ways.
While Nate and his girlfriend Maddie were on one of their many breaks… Maddie wants
to make Nate jealous by hooking up with a guy… Tyler Clarkson… in the pool in front
of everyone at a party!
Clearly this didn’t sit well with Nate and a few days later, Nate and Maddy get back
together, she claims Tyler forcefully had non-consectual sex with her and in turn Nate
seeks revenge on Tyler!
On a stormy night, Tyler comes back to his apartment to be greeted by Nate who has kitchen
knives, a baseball bat and golf club in hand.
“Who the f*** are you man. I’m the boyfriend of the girl you raped on Saturday night.
No, no dude… what the f*** I wouldn’t rape anyone. I swear to god I didn’t rape
a girl dude.”
You can tell it’s not going to go well from there! Okay, so now that we are all caught
up and you are familiar with who Lukas Gage is… well over the weekend he became a HOT
TOPIC because he put a director ON BLAST for trash talking him during a Zoom audition!
Lukas uploaded a video to Twitter on Friday. The tweet accompanying the video reads, “psa
if youre a shit talking director make sure to mute ur shit on zoom mtgings”
And now I present to you the cringe-worthy and extremely incriminating evidence to go
along with it.
“These poor people live in these tiny apartments, like I’m looking at his background and hes’
got a TV and you know… OOF… yeah I’m muted. Yeah I know it’s a s***ty apartment
that’s why if you can give me this job I can get a better one.”
Clearly the director thought his Zoom mic was on mute and that Lukas couldn’t hear
him, BUT it was quite the opposite!
Remember, if you have nothing nice to say don’t say it at all.
While that was hard enough to watch, the video doesn’t stop there. The director tries to
ease the situation, but in turn digs himself deeper and deeper into the ground!
“Umm ready? Oh my god I’m so so sorry. It’s totally. I’m so sorry. Listen, I’m
living in a 4x4 box, just give me the job and we’ll be fine. I’m mortified.”
While Lukas was very polite and kind to the director on video, he took it to Twitter,
like I mentioned before, and put him on full blast!
The video gained such viral attention that celebrities from all over came to his defense
and a game of “Guess the director” started on social media!
Lukas commented on a repost of the video by instagram account Comments By Celebs. He wrote,
“100k likes for the name.” To which January Jones replied, “I have a guess.”
Many of Lukas’ “Euphoria” co-stars chimed in on the repost.
Sydney Sweeney commented, “I CANT EVEN.”
Barbie Ferreira wrote, “YOU POSTED IT DJFJJFJR”
Maude Apatow chimed in, “Lukas I can’t!”
Maude’s famous parents even weighed in! Her father, famous director/ producer, Judd
Apatow reposted the video on Twitter with the tweet, “As a young man I would have
dreamed of an apartment like this one. Look at that sweet flat screen! The guitar!
The moldings!”
Her mom, Leslie Mann, commented on the IG post writing “AHAHAHAHA”
Other celebs like Patrick Schwarzenegger commented, “Idk how you reacted so well”
Clearly there are more comments on the IG post where that came from! But I do want to
highlight some big A-listers in the game who showed their support on Twitter!
Billy Eichner reacted with these words, “Actors are often (not always but often) treated like
garbage and taken advantage of because “we’re just lucky to have a job” and “we’re
gonna take the job anyway” etc etc. It’s very f**ked up.”
Family guy creator, Seth McFarland, made a parody video of the whole thing and tweeted,
“Apologies to Lukas Gage.”
The late Robin Williams’ daughter, Zelda Williams showed her support for Lukas and
even vouched for his on-set behavior writing, “Since @lukasgage is going viral on film
twitter for being the graceful, quick-thinking sweetheart he is, I’d like to add for any
(non-asshole) director’s looking that he’s also a delight to work with, funny, talented
and a blast on set. Hire this man!”
Clearly there is no shortage of support for Lukas and maybe, just maybe that director
will be run out of Hollywood OR at the very least think before he speaks or Zooms!
Funny enough, TMZ reports this is not actually Lukas’ apartment. In fact, it’s a hotel
room in Hawaii where Lukas is currently working on a different project!
OHH the irony of it all!
I can’t stress this message enough, if you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t
say anything at all!
Okay, that was some hot tea to get this day started, but I gotta take a break because
I’m starting to sweat, so in the meantime you can click right over here for more Euphoria
