HBO
has
responded
to
the
allegations
against
the
toxic
environment
on
the
sets
of
its
highly
popular
production,
Euphoria
Season
2.
In
an
official
statement
provided
to
Variety,
HBO
claimed
that
Euphoria
Season
2
was
produced
in
"full
compliance
with
all
safety
guidelines
and
guild
protocols." The
network
stated
that
the
well-being
of
the
cast
and
crew
on
their
productions
is
a
top
priority.
"The
well-being
of
cast
and
crew
on
our
productions
is
always
a
top
priority.
The
production
was
in
full
compliance
with
all
safety
guidelines
and
guild
protocols.
It's
not
uncommon
for
drama
series
to
have
complex
shoots,
and
COVID
protocols
add
an
additional
layer.
We
maintain
an
open
line
of
communication
with
all
the
guilds,
including
SAG-AFTRA.
There
were
never
any
formal
inquiries
raised," reads
the
statement
issued
by
HBO.
To
the
unversed,
The
Daily
Beast
had
published
a
report,
the
background
actors
of
Euphoria
Season
2
had
claimed
that
multiple
complaints
were
made
to
SAG-AFTRA
after
the
production
failed
to
provide
them
meals
on
time
and
refused
to
let
people
use
the
bathroom.
They
had
also
added
that
there
was
no
proper
holding
area
for
the
extras
on
sets.
The
reports
published
by
Variety
suggest
that
no
formal
complaints
were
filed
to
SAG-AFTRA.
