Euphoria Actor Barbie Ferreira Bids A "Teary Goodbye" To the show

Barbie Ferreira announced her exit from the show Euphoria on her Instagram. After four years of being in one of the most watched shows, she takes a new turn in her life.

Euphoria star Barbie Ferreira played the character Kat or Katherine Hernandez who was quite layered. Kat always had the main character energy and was relatable to many body-conscious teens and adults. Her journey to accept her body and how she was a friend to Maddy played by Alexa Demie. Even after being a side character, many say that Kat in the first season stole the show. Kat had a huge following who got a little disappointed by her scenes getting shorter in the second season of the show compared to the first. Reportedly she had a fall-out with the show's creator Sam Levinson.

Ferreira wrote on her Instagram story post on August 25, "After four years of getting to embody the most special and enigmatic character Kat, I’m having to say a very teary-eyed goodbye." It was not very easy for the actor to move ahead without the show, she acknowledges the impact her character had on the audience as she said, "I hope many of you could see yourself in her like I did and that she brought you joy to see her journey into the character she is today, " she continued, "I put all my care and love into her and I hope you guys could feel it. Love you Katherine Hernandez."

Kat's journey through the show is unmissable who took her journey through her teens to becoming a popular fan fiction writer and then a cam girl. She explored many ways to accept her body and realised a lot of things. Barbie Ferreira told The Hollywood Reporter, "That’s an extension of herself that she doesn’t want to mix with real life; she wants to keep it separate, because she’s scared if she mixes it, it will all go downhill,”. She continued, “She kind of starts exploring bringing her online persona into her real life, but her new online persona, and she finds power in it, and she’s powerless at school.”
