Zoë Kravitz has publicly criticized Hulu for using her high-profile engagement to Harry Styles as a marketing tactic.
The actress lashed out after the streaming service posted a joke on social media that connected her personal life to a television series they canceled years ago.
Her blunt response has now reignited a long-standing feud between the star and the platform over the handling of her professional work.
Kravitz did not hold back when she discovered that Hulu was using her relationship with Styles to drive social media engagement. Last week, the streaming platform shared an Instagram photo of Kravitz in character as Robyn Brooks from her former series, “High Fidelity.”
The caption of the now-deleted post claimed that her character would definitely have “Kiss All the Time, Disco Occasionally” on her playlist, a direct nod to the title of Styles’ fourth studio album, which debuted on March 6.
Kravitz, now 37, found the post offensive and commented, “This is tacky,” while directly tagging the Disney-owned platform. Following her public disapproval, Hulu quickly removed the post from its page.
Notably, the frustration felt by the “Big Little Lies” star is rooted in the fact that Hulu canceled “High Fidelity” back in 2020 after just one season. Many fans supported her reaction, arguing that it is disrespectful for a network to use an actress’s current personal milestones for advertisement six years after axing her show.
Additionally, Kravitz has been a vocal critic of the cancellation since it happened, famously pointing out that the move removed one of the few shows on the platform led by a woman of color. According to Page Six, she previously mentioned that Hulu made a “big mistake” by not realizing the cultural impact and the connection the show had with its audience.
Harry Styles And Zoë Kravitz’s Relationship Has Reportedly Reached The Next Step
Kravitz’s blunt reaction to the streaming giant comes shortly after reports surfaced that the actress is now engaged to Styles.
The engagement rumors surrounding the two reached a fever pitch following weeks of intense speculation and new public sightings. Insiders described the 32-year-old pop star as being “completely smitten” with the actress, with one source saying that he would essentially do anything for her.
The Blast reported that Kravitz is reportedly just as thrilled, with friends describing her as being “on cloud nine” as the couple takes this significant next step.
Zoë Kravitz Debuted A Million-Dollar Engagement Ring
While the reports of their engagement were initially based on insider tips, the visual evidence of their commitment recently became impossible to ignore on the streets of New York. Shortly after news of their status broke, Kravitz was seen prominently displaying a massive diamond ring that seemingly confirmed the relationship had reached a new level.
According to The Blast, Kravitz turned heads in New York City when she was spotted wearing a striking diamond on her ring finger while dressed in a casual “Boy Next Door” cap.
Despite her low-key outfit, the jewelry immediately became the main attraction, with experts estimating the piece is worth approximately $1 million.
Interestingly, this wasn’t the very first time the jewelry had made an appearance. Kravitz was photographed wearing the same diamond as far back as December, which suggests the proposal may have happened much earlier than many fans realized.
Channing Tatum Shared A Cryptic Post After The News Of Zoë Kravitz’ Engagement Broke
While Kravitz is reportedly looking toward a future with Styles and her million-dollar ring, her past relationship has resurfaced in the public eye through a series of emotional social media posts.
Her former fiancé, Channing Tatum, recently caught the attention of fans by sharing a deeply personal message just as news of her new engagement dominated the headlines.
The Blast reported that Tatum sparked widespread speculation when he posted a cryptic poem on his Instagram stories titled “My Brain And Heart Divorced” by John Roedel.
The poem describes a painful internal conflict where the mind and heart can no longer coexist, eventually sharing custody of a person while refusing to speak to one another. Many observers interpreted the move as a subtle reflection of his own feelings regarding his high-profile split from the actress.
Channing Tatum Seemingly Moves Toward Healing and Acceptance
While Tatum’s emotional social media activity highlighted his personal struggle, his most recent updates suggest he is finally finding a sense of peace with his ex-fiancée’s new life.
As Kravitz made headlines for her reported engagement, the actor shared another cryptic message that signaled a change in his perspective.
Tatum shared a video on Instagram that featured a seal floating peacefully in water to the song “Only Time” by Enya, with a caption describing a desire to let go and trust in the “flow of the universe,” per The Blast.
According to those close to the actor, Tatum was initially surprised by how quickly Kravitz and Styles moved toward an engagement, but he has chosen not to dwell on the situation.
