The criticism

Among the first public voices speaking out against this surprising twist was Tom Mauser, whose son Daniel was killed during the 1999 Columbine High School shooting. Speaking with TMZ, he called using the subject of school shootings as a plot device "awful" and argued that the casting of Zendaya "humanizes" and "normalizes" prospective shooters.

Mauser also slammed Zendaya's recent appearance on *Jimmy Kimmel Live!*, saying he didn't think she was taking the twist seriously. "Everybody has their own kind of feelings leaving the theater, especially with the big twist," she told Kimmel. "And there's so many conversations that are had after you watch it, and it's just one of those things, I really hope that people don't spoil it for each other so they're allowed to go into it just unknowing and really experience *The Drama*."

"Without revealing anything, I could see this movie causing a lot of problems for a lot of people in their personal lives," Kimmel replied with a grin.

"Yeah, those conversations can go many ways," Zendaya answered, to laughter from the audience. (It's unclear whether Kimmel was referring to those impacted by school shootings or audiences who will, inevitably, ask each other the film's dangerous instigating question: What's the worst thing you've ever done?)

Then on Thursday, the gun control advocacy group March for Our Lives posted a statement to Instagram, spoiling the twist and slamming the film's marketing. "The way this film has been marketed is deeply misaligned with the reality it engages," the group captioned the post. "We expect better from A24 and the artists behind it." While never fully spelled out, the film's marketing and stars noted repeatedly throughout the press run that the film included a dark twist.

So far, critics have been mostly positive in their reviews. The film currently sits at 80 percent fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, but its big twist has received its fair share of pushback. Still, those who criticized that plot element seemed less concerned with the revelation itself than with what its director is trying to say by invoking it.

"It's hard to have any idea what* The Drama* is trying to say or do, beyond tease its audience with its lack of specificity," *Time'*s Stephanie Zacharek writes.

In his review for *The New Yorker**, *critic Justin Chang writes, "*The Drama* has a juicy, combustible premise that it struggles to justify, not because there's anything inherently distasteful about broaching the subject of real-world gun violence in the context of a sexy, tempestuous Hollywood melodrama but, rather, because Emma's deep, dark secret simply doesn't ring true."

Zendaya in 'The Drama' (2026).

Perhaps, Chang acknowledges, that's part of the point: Those who knew shooters before their attack often remark that they didn't see it coming. The film also briefly addresses (and dismisses) the gender dynamic at play: Shootings by women (let alone Black women) are exceedingly rare.

That doesn't mean women never contemplate committing violence (and again, Emma never went through with her plan). But does the film do enough to make her motivations feel earned and believable? "The movie's attempts to dramatize her history of near-violence feel perfunctory to the point of incuriosity," Change writes. "It treats her mental-health history not as a complicated reality but as a premise, a narrative impetus, and, worst of all, a problem that seems to weigh more heavily on those around her than it does on her."

The filmmaker

The big twist isn't the only reason *The Drama *is earning that title.

Writer-director Kristoffer Borgli (*Dream Scenario*) faced backlash unrelated to the movie's plot after a 2012 essay he wrote defending his relationship with a teenage girl resurfaced online.

In it, the Norwegian filmmaker — who was 27 when the essay was published — reflected on dating a "high school student" who was "10 years younger" than him in Norway, where the legal age of consent is 16.

Robert Pattinson, Kristoffer Borgli and Zendaya at "The Drama" Los Angeles Premiere held at DGA Theater Complex on March 17, 2026 in Los Angeles, California.

Borgli wrote that he viewed his "May-December romance" with skepticism, and wanted to "recalibrate [his] moral compass." He noted that he watched films like *Lost in Translation* and *Ghost World*, which depict older men dating teen girls, and that Woody Allen's film *Manhattan* "completely changed" his attitude toward his own situation.

While the film doesn't offer commentary on this taboo subject, it does bring to mind the game that prompts Emma's confession: "What's the worst thing you've ever done?"

Perhaps some questions are best left unanswered.

Amy Duggar Criticizes Cousin Joseph for Calling His Wife 'Competent' While Dealing With Their Arrests Miranda SiwakSat, April 4, 2026 at 3:23 PM UTC 0 Courtesy of Amy Duggar/ Instagram Amy Duggar has some thoughts when it comes to her cousin Joseph Duggar's prison communications with his wife, Kendra Duggar.

Amy Duggar has some thoughts when it comes to her cousin Joseph Duggar's prison communications with his wife, Kendra Duggar.

"You hear this? He called his wife 'competent' and she took it as a compliment," Amy, 39, said in a Thursday, April 2, TikTok video, presumably referring to recently released audio from Joseph's stay at the Washington County Sheriff's Office in Arkansas late last month without mentioning her cousin by name. "Um, last time I checked, marriage isn't a performance review and she's not your employee."

Joseph, 31, was arrested in Arkansas on March 18 for unlawful sexual activity with a minor after he was accused of allegedly molesting a 9-year-old girl in Florida in 2020. The victim, now 14, told police that Joseph "eventually apologized for his actions" at the time before "the incidents stopped."

Joseph was held at Washington County for weeks before his extradition to Florida, where the alleged crime took place. The former reality TV star pleaded not guilty and was released on $600,000 bond. In that time, he spoke with Kendra, 27, multiple times via phone and email.

The Counting On alum and Kendra, who share four children, were also both arrested for four counts endangering the welfare of a minor, second-degree, and four counts of second-degree false imprisonment. Kendra was released hours after her arrest after posting bond, while Joseph remained in custody. (A spokesperson for the Duggar family confirmed to Us that the charges are unrelated to Joseph's alleged sexual misconduct case.)

When Kendra spoke with Joseph, she frequently asked how he was coping and whether he needed money to pay for future calls. Kendra also revealed that she was staying somewhere "private" without the kids and was fighting to eventually reunite as a family.

As for Amy, she was confused by the manner in which Joseph often spoke to his wife.

"What the crap was that? That's what happens when the bar is set so low," she stated in her TikTok video. "It's so sad that it seems that she will accept any breadcrumb [of affection] that comes her way, and that means she's probably been starving for a very long time."

Amy continued, "I'm just gonna say it: Real love is out there. There is such a thing as real, good love. It doesn't just acknowledge you, it celebrates you. It breathes life into your soul."

Amy Duggar Says She Feels 'Emotionally Exhausted' Amid Cousin Joseph's Arrest Scandal

In a follow-up video, Amy also appeared to criticize Kendra for standing by Joseph's side amid his arrest.

"How in the hell can she not be so unbelievably distraught and mad and disgusted at him," Amy lamented in a Thursday video. "Oh, just wait, I'll tell you why, because women in these really toxic systems, like this one, are taught that anger is a sin."

She concluded, "My favorite term that they always use is 'grace.' We show them grace. We show the men grace because sins happen and grace covers it. Grace does offer repentance. Grace is something that is wonderful. Not in this instance. This isn't grace, this is suppression, and this is how the cycle continues."

If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673). If you or someone you know is experiencing child abuse, call or text Child Help Hotline at 1-800-422-4453.

Zendaya Gives the Fur-Trim Trend a Bridal SpinWarner Bros. TV - Getty Images

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Grab your best white dress, because The Drama is officially out in theaters! The release marked the end of a weeks-long method-dressing press tour, during which Zendaya and image architect-slash-stylist Law Roach pulled together something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. And one of the actor's final looks gave a bit of bridal inspo to all the 2026 brides looking to shake things up on their big day.

Stopping by the Jennifer Hudson Show for an appearance yesterday, Zendaya sat down to chat with the host in a little white set courtesy of Stella McCartney's Fall 2026 collection. The ensemble, composed of a sleek belted top and knee-length pencil skirt, balanced refined, sophisticated glamour with a bit of off-kilter fun.

On top, the crew-neck long sleeve featured wide shoulders and a boxy silhouette, cinched at the waist with a matching belt that gave a bit of shape to the style. From there, the piece tapered down to padded hips, where it was finished with a fluffy chocolate-brown trim.

One of the year's biggest trends, the fur accent divided up Zendaya's all-white look, taking the set from simple to statement.

Underneath, the coordinating pencil skirt offered a simple base, and pointed-toe Christian Louboutin pumps topped it all off.

For the occasion, the Euphoria star's micro bob was curled with little front pieces styled into picture-perfect ringlets. She accessorized with sparkly diamond earrings, and wore her dazzling east-west Jessica McCormack engagement ring and gold wedding band—in a sweet art-imitates-life moment.

So much for "Pink Skies."

Zach Bryan says he was "forced" to cancel his Tulsa, Okla. concert at H.A. Chapman Stadium on Friday due to severe weather conditions.

In his five years of touring, "I've never cancelled a headlining show," the 30-year-old country singer captioned his Instagram post sharing the disappointing news. "I pissed off plenty people this morning trying to 'play anyways.' If I had ANY say in this, things would be different."

The second slide of Bryan's social media post is a screenshot of his text exchange with someone explaining the predicted weather conditions: wind gusts in excess of 60 mph, hail, and intense lightning.

"Are you kidding," replies the Oklahoma native.

"I am being forced by my team to cancel the show tonight due to the threat of extreme and dangerous weather," reads the graphic in his Instagram post. "I've never canceled a show in my life, but I unfortunately don't have a choice in the matter."

With Heaven on Tour, named after Bryan's new album, With Heaven on Top, just kicked off March 6 in St. Louis, with Kings of Leon as his opening act for several shows. The 39-date trek will make its way around the U.S. and Europe, before concluding in Auburn, Ala. on Oct. 10.

"Who The Hell She Is?": Broadway Star Mercilessly Trolled After Complaining About Not Being Recognized On Plane

On April 2, a Broadway star, Laura Benanti, posted a video from a flight, saying she was surrounded by a group of teenage theatre students who did not recognize her.

While the actress shared the moment as a joke, the clip quickly went viral across social media platforms and drew a wave of reactions from online users.

"I still don't know who she is, and I especially don't care to know now," wrote one user.

"I would say about 83 percent of the people on this airplane are teenagers in a theater group, and not a single one of them recognized me," Benanti said in the video.

She added that she approached them and mentioned she "does theater," but the response she got was simply, "Cool."

She ended the story with a dry joke, saying, "RIP."

The video was later reposted on X, where it quickly reached a wider audience, and the tone of the reaction shifted.

"No clue who this lady is," one person wrote. Another added, "I legit have no idea who she is. First time hearing her name."

Some comments mocked the situation. "Anyone know who the hell she is?" one user asked, while another wrote, "Ain't no one know who you are, lady, you obviously delusional."

Others focused on her expectations. "Her ego is hurt because teenagers couldn't recognize her," one comment read.

Meanwhile, another flock of users defended her while others doubled down on her video

While many criticized her, others pointed out that Benanti is a well-known name in theatre.

"She is a literal legend, and the fact that people are this uncultured is terrifying," one person wrote.

Still, the criticism continued across platforms.

"I Googled her and still don't know who she is. Was she in No Hard Feelings? Was she the mom?" one user wrote, referring to her role as Allison Becker in the Jennifer Lawrence-led film.

Other remarks were more personal. "Looks like another annoying Karen," one comment read, while another added, "She looks like a lady I'd expect to be denied entry for drinking too much wine at the bar in the airport."

Following severe criticism, Benanti posted a follow-up video from the flight addressing the situation

As the backlash grew, Benanti addressed the situation in a follow-up video posted on April 3.

"That video is me making fun of myself — not making fun of those kids, not expecting them to know me," she said.

She added that she is aware of her place in the industry and does not expect widespread recognition.

"I know nobody cares about me. I literally have a comedy show called 'Laura Benanti: Nobody Cares,'" she said.

In the caption, she reiterated her point, writing: "Dear Internet, I was making fun of MYSELF."

She also admitted she didn't expect the video to reach beyond her usual audience.

"I thought this was going to be my niche theater community and somehow, it ended up on the bad side of the internet," she said.

Despite the backlash, several fellow actors came in to support Benanti

Pamela Adlon and Bianca Del Rio reacted to her post with laughing emojis, while actress Alexandra Billings praised her, writing, "Your idea was brilliant… thank you for your joy."

Broadway actress Rachel Potter also showed support, commenting, "Your people got it… more importantly, did the kid in the jacket reach out yet?"

Benanti, who has had a long career on stage and screen, is best known for her Tony-winning role in Gypsy (2008) and performances in productions such as She Loves Me.

She has also appeared on television in shows like Nashville, Younger, Supergirl, and The Gilded Age, and had a recurring role impersonating Melania Trump on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

"Who she is and what she acted in ?" questioned one user
