This latest installment of Euphoria mentions sexual themes, animal cruelty, intense violence, gore, and major spoilers for Season 3, Episode 3.

The newest chapter of Euphoria premiered Sunday night, and it was a monumental event. A parade of familiar faces returned to the screen to celebrate Cassie and Nate’s wedding, including their former high school peer BB, Cassie’s mother Suze, and a brief, haunting return of Eric Dane as Cal, Nate’s father.

However, as most fans anticipated, the wedding was far from a fairytale ending for the toxic duo. This week’s episode was packed with jarring moments that had the audience recoiling in discomfort. Here are the most disturbing highlights in the order they aired:

1. As established in the season premiere, Jules (Hunter Schafer) has leaned fully into her new role as a sugar baby—or, as Maddy bluntly put it, “a hooker.” This episode kicked off with Rue narrating the gritty details of Jules’s new career over a montage of her encounters with various older men.

One of Jules’s recurring clients displayed a specific fetish that involved licking her hosiery while he engaged in self-gratification:

In a following sequence, Jules is depicted crawling beneath a wealthy finance executive’s desk to perform oral sex while he remains active on a professional business call:

Finally, we meet Ellis, who eventually became Jules’s exclusive client after she earned “more money than she ever imagined” from their arrangement. In a deeply unsettling scene, Jules strips for Ellis before he mummifies her entire body and face in layers of industrial cellophane, kissing her through the plastic barrier:

2. Earlier in the season, global pop star Rosalía made her acting debut as Magick, a dancer at the Silver Slipper—the club where Rue has become entangled. While the sexual undertones this week were slightly less graphic than the previous episode, showrunner Sam Levinson still prioritized numerous long-take shots of her and the other dancers performing in skimpy lingerie:

3. This sequence transitioned into the first instance of animal cruelty in the episode. A live pig was released into the club by Laurie, a rival to the club’s owner, Alamo. This led to a lingering close-up of the animal urinating on the floor. (Though we have to find the silver lining where possible: three weeks into the season, we finally have an episode with zero poop scenes. Progress!)

4. What came next was a startlingly violent moment where Alamo shot the pig dead. The show included a gratuitous shot of a dancer, wearing very little, getting sprayed with the animal’s blood:

5. Shifting momentarily away from the gore and sexual fetishes, Maddy managed to stun the audience in a different way. She left everyone speechless by choosing this daring ensemble for her ex-boyfriend’s wedding:

6. However, Jules arguably stole the spotlight with this specific look:

7. Returning to the visceral violence, the episode reached a bloody climax when Nate was savagely ambushed. He was beaten by the debt collectors he owes a fortune to immediately after he and Cassie arrived home from their nuptials:

8. Unfortunately, Cassie was also caught in the crossfire of the brutal physical altercation:

9. But nothing could have steeled viewers for the explicit, high-definition shot of Nate’s toe being severed as a final, gruesome warning from the henchmen:

10. If that wasn’t enough carnage for one night, the episode concluded with a second animal death. This time, Laurie’s prized bird was killed, having been secretly poisoned by Alamo’s associates in an act of petty revenge:

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel recently addressed the fallout after Donald and Melania Trump publically insisted he should be terminated from Jimmy Kimmel Live.

On a recent Thursday broadcast, Kimmel delivered an “Alternative White House Correspondents’ Dinner” monologue. During the segment, he took several comedic swings at the Trumps, specifically referencing alleged connections to Jeffrey Epstein. In one notable moment regarding the former first lady, Kimmel quipped, “Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.”

Following that broadcast, the Trumps attended the official White House Correspondents’ Dinner for the first time during any of Trump’s terms. However, the evening was marred by a security breach when an armed individual breached a checkpoint at the Washington Hilton hotel, reportedly firing shots outside the ballroom. According to the New York Times, Cole Tomas Allen now faces charges including two counts of using a firearm and assault on a federal officer.

Melania Trump later used X (formerly Twitter) to criticize Kimmel, accusing him of “hateful and violent rhetoric.” She wrote, “Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community”—a statement many viewed as a reference to Kimmel’s previous suspension regarding his comments on the MAGA movement.

Donald Trump followed up on Truth Social by targeting the “widow” remark directly. He posted, “A day later a lunatic tried entering the ballroom of the White House Correspondents Dinner, loaded up with a shotgun, handgun, and many knives. He was there for a very obvious and sinister reason. I appreciate that so many people are incensed by Kimmel’s despicable call to violence, and normally would not be responsive to anything that he said but, this is something far beyond the pale. Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC.”

During last night’s episode, Kimmel tackled the controversy head-on in his opening monologue as the audience chanted his name. “You know how sometimes you wake up in the morning and the first lady puts out a statement demanding you be fired from your job? We’ve all been there, right?” he joked.

“As you know, they had to cancel the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington on Saturday night after a man with multiple guns and knives crashed the party and may have shot a Secret Service officer. Fortunately, the guy was wearing a bulletproof vest and is okay. They’re not sure exactly what happened, but they got the guy,” Kimmel explained. “No one was hurt, thank goodness. A lot of people were shaken up on a night that is supposed to be lighthearted.”

Kimmel went on to clarify the context of the dinner, mentioning he hosted an alternative version because the official event had hired a mentalist instead of a traditional stand-up comic. “There was no big reaction to it until this morning, when I greeted the day facing yet another Twitter vomit storm and a call to fire me from our first lady, Melania Trump, saying I should be fired because of a joke I made—again, five nights ago. It was a pretend roast,” he noted.

Defending the controversial “widow” line, he added, “Which obviously was a joke about their age difference and the look of joy we see on her face every time they’re together. It was a very light roast joke about the fact that he’s almost 80 and she’s younger than I am. It was not, by any stretch of the definition, a call to assassination, and they know that. I’ve been very vocal for many years, speaking out against gun violence in particular.”

ABC

“But I understand that the first lady had a stressful experience over the weekend—and probably every weekend is pretty stressful in that house. And also, I agree that hateful and violent rhetoric is something we should reject. I do. And I think a great place to start to dial that back would be to have a conversation with your husband about it,” Kimmel continued.

“Donald Trump is allowed to say whatever he wants to say, as are you, and as am I, as are all of us, because under the First Amendment, we have as Americans a right to free speech. But with that said, I am sorry that you and the president and everyone in that room on Saturday went through that,” he stated. He concluded by mentioning that Karoline Leavitt had predicted “some shots fired” just before the event. “If you want us to believe that a joke I made three days before this dinner had any effect on anything that happened, well then, maybe someone should look into this psychic lady, too.”

By now, the internet is buzzing with the news that Harry Styles and Zoë Kravitz are officially engaged, seemingly taking the next step after less than a year of dating.

The high-profile couple—who first sparked dating rumors in August 2025—sent the rumor mill into overdrive last week. Zoë was spotted in London flashing a stunning diamond ring on her engagement finger, fueling immediate speculation.

While the pair has kept things private, an insider confirmed to People on April 27 that Zoë and Harry recently got engaged. The source noted they have already shared the exciting milestone with a “small circle” of close friends and family.

Social media users have been quick to point out that this isn’t Zoë’s first walk down the aisle. Back in 2019, she married actor Karl Glusman, though the pair separated after 18 months. Their divorce was finalized in 2021, which was the same year she began her well-documented romance with Channing Tatum.

Zoë and Channing quickly became a fan-favorite Hollywood duo. By October 2023, they were engaged after two years of being together. However, the engagement ended in October 2024, with sources telling People they were simply at “different stages” in their lives.

Following their breakup, Channing moved on to date 26-year-old model Inka Williams. Zoë, for her part, has maintained a classy stance on her ex, telling Elle magazine in 2025 that she still cares for him deeply.

Naturally, pop culture fans are curious about his reaction to Zoë’s sudden engagement to the “As It Was” singer. This curiosity lead straight to Channing’s recent, and somewhat puzzling, Instagram stories.

On April 27, the very day the engagement news went public, Channing encouraged his followers to check out a deep poem by John Roedel. The piece focused heavily on the internal struggle between the “heart” and the “brain.”

“Now my head and heart share custody of me / They blame each other for the state of my life / there’s been a lot of yelling—and crying / so, / lately I’ve been spending a lot of time with my gut / who serves as my unofficial therapist,” the verses read. The poem describes the heart being stuck on the past while the head worries about tomorrow.

The emotional poem was shared across 10 slides of an IG carousel, leaving fans to wonder about the intended message behind the repost.

Later that same day, Channing shared a series of other posts, including a viral video of people hitting each other with foam pool noodles. Captioned “New therapy tool unlocked,” Channing added his own commentary: “I might actually just do this in New York randomly. It seems so much fun.”

Long-time followers know Channing often shares relatable or funny content, so this isn’t entirely out of character. However, given the timing of the engagement headlines, fans are speculating that these “cringe” posts are a subtle, hilarious reaction to his ex-fiancée moving on.

“The draw this woman has on these men needs to be STUDIED. She has Channing out here posting on IG like a ’00s teen on AIM,” one Reddit user joked. Another chimed in, wondering how he managed to find a post that felt “so 2014 coded.”

“Men are so fake deep because wtf does this even mean lmfao😩,” questioned another commenter.

Another popular reaction read: “Omg this is so emo, I see you Channing Tatum 🖤 posting this like an AIM away message.”

Fans also noted the similarities between Channing’s behavior and Tom Brady’s cryptic Instagram activity in 2024 after Gisele Bündchen announced her pregnancy. “He and Tom Brady should compare notes on the best Sad Posting ’bout their ex,” one user quipped.

“This is giving Tom Brady,” another user added. A third fan joked: “Crashing out on a IG story. Celebrities, they’re just like us.”

Is Channing actually in his feelings about Zoë and Harry? There’s no confirmation. But seeing major celebrities get a little “emo” on social media is always a viral moment for the fans. We’ve reached out to Channing’s team for comment and will provide updates as they come.
