Zendaya’s mom said she was almost not allowed to approach the actor at the Emmys by security. Claire Stoermer wrote on Instagram that she tried to hug her daughter at Monday’s event. She said she had to “hit” her daughter to get past the guard.
Zendaya’s mom said she had to “drop her daughter’s name” to get past security and get to the actor’s table at the Emmys on Monday. On Monday, Zendaya won her second Emmy for her lead role in HBO’s hit series “Euphoria,” becoming the youngest actress to win two Emmys and the first black woman to win two Emmys for lead actress in a drama series. On Tuesday, Zendaya’s mother Claire Stoermer revealed that she was at the event and hugged her daughter before her win was announced. Sharing a photo of them hugging on Instagram, Stoermer went on to explain how she was almost stopped from approaching her daughter’s table. “I made my way to the Z before they gave her the Emmy and they give her the biggest hug and say…breathe!!!” she wrote “The man who tried to stop me said ‘where are your credentials?’ I said “I’m Zendaya’s mom” and kept walking!! Hahaha! I never call such a fall, but I must!” Zendaya’s mom also called out “Euphoria” creator Sam Levinson and his wife Ashley Levinson for taking care of her daughter. She captioned a Zendaya story post with the “Euphoria” crew: “I love this group of people. When Z works on Euphoria, I don’t worry about her! @samlev00 and @ashlevinson thank you!!” Stoermer also referenced Zendaya’s speech on Monday after winning the award. “Thank you to the Academy, thank you to my friends and family, some of whom are here tonight,” Zendaya said before laughing as her mother cheered. “Euphoria” won six Emmys this year for its second season, including outstanding guest actor in a drama series for Colman Domingo. The show has already been renewed for a third season. Read the original article on Insider
