Nika King says she hasn’t been able to pay her rent amid the stop-and-go production schedule for “Euphoria” … and even crazier, she says she hasn’t been acting either.
The “Euphoria” star — who plays Zendaya‘s on-screen mom, Leslie — posted a clip this week showing her doing some standup comedy … and the joke she dropped in front of a live audience had to do with how much she’s struggling right now in real life.
There’s some humor and truth mixed into this one … and it’s pretty astonishing to hear.
Nika says people keep asking her when Season 3 of the hit HBO show is airing, but she shrugs her shoulder … basically admitting that she simply doesn’t know. NK goes on to say that with cameras not rolling, she can’t afford to pay her rent … and hasn’t for 6 months.
Worse yet, Nika says she hasn’t booked anything since “Euphoria” … which she says is surprising. However, she jokes that Taraji P. Henson told her to get used to it … and she also jokingly pleaded with Zendaya to get back to the States so they can get back to work.
The new season of “Euphoria” doesn’t have a release date yet — and filming has been on and off over the past several months, amid the strikes and the passing of Angus Cloud.
Here’s hoping things pick up … Nika’s a super-talented actress, so this is surprising to hear.
