Buzzfeed notes that Zendaya went to the hospital with her friend and assistant Darnell Appling. “Never a dull moment with @zendaya no pun intended,” Appling wrote on his Instagram.

Zendaya was recently nominated for a 2022 Emmy for her work in Euphoria. She won her first Emmy for her portrayal of troubled teen Rue in 2020. So hopefully her nomination takes some of the sting out of the stitches!
