'Euphoria' Creator Sam Levinson Accused of Ripping Off Petra Collins

This reminds me of the time Cary Fukunaga ripped off Richard Mosse for Beasts of No Nation. Shameless plagiarist hacks, both of them.

Fukunaga's been silent af since the allegations against him dropped. Good. Stay hidden, rat.

Hope he rots. I know he went to Ukraine to prey on young women.

I'm not familiar w/ her work but OH MY GOD, the visuals are the only good thing he brought to this show!! (Except for that one dream sequence where he didn't know how to light Labrinth at all 👀) And he stole it??? Dear lord

Not surprised. At all.

Fuck you sam.

Please crawl back into your dads balls.

Please crawl back into your dads balls.

I really need to start using this. It’s a much better insult than the typical “your mom should have swallowed” I normally see used as an insult.

Right? Like let’s bring the problem back to where it starts: the men.

There’s no way his dad should have had any enjoyment in that moment.

I believe it. The shows aethetic is cool BUT not original tbh. Very Tumblr which Petra was a big influence on that.
