Zoë Kravitz has publicly criticized Hulu for what she described as a 'tacky' promotional post that referenced her rumored fiancé Harry Styles to promote her cancelled series, High Fidelity. The actress, 37, commented on the now-deleted social media post, tagging the Disney-owned streaming service and expressing her displeasure.
Background of the Controversy
The promotional post featured a screenshot of Kravitz's character Robyn Brooks from High Fidelity, with the caption: 'Robyn Brooks definitely has Kiss All the Time, Disco Occasionally on her playlist.' This is the title of Harry Styles' most recent album, released in March. Kravitz responded directly on the post, writing 'this is tacky' and tagging Hulu.
Kravitz and Styles, 32, have been romantically linked since they were spotted together in Rome last year. They have since traveled to London and New York, and reports emerged weeks ago that they are engaged after eight months of dating, though neither has publicly confirmed. Kravitz was seen wearing a large diamond ring, which she attempted to conceal at the Met Gala earlier this week.
High Fidelity and Its Cancellation
High Fidelity, a gender-flipped adaptation of Nick Hornby's 1995 novel and the 2000 film, premiered on Hulu in 2020. Kravitz played Robyn Brooks, a record store owner revisiting past relationships through music. Despite positive reviews and praise for Kravitz's 'magnetic' performance, the series was cancelled after one season.
At the time of cancellation, Kravitz posted a heartfelt message on Instagram, thanking her cast and crew. She also criticized Hulu for lacking diversity, writing: 'It's cool. At least Hulu has a ton of other shows starring women of colour we can watch. Oh wait…'
Kravitz's Career and Personal Life
Zoë Kravitz, daughter of actress Lisa Bonet and musician Lenny Kravitz, broke through in X-Men: First Class (2011) and has since appeared in the Fantastic Beasts franchise, The Batman, Big Little Lies, and The Studio. She was married to actor Karl Glusman from 2018 to 2021 and was engaged to Channing Tatum until their split in October 2024.
Her relationship with Styles reportedly began after they were seen kissing at Rita's bistro in Soho following the premiere of her film Caught Stealing in August. A source described them as 'snogging like teenagers' and 'making a gorgeous couple.' News of their engagement emerged earlier this month, with a source telling Page Six that Styles is 'completely smitten' and Kravitz is 'on cloud nine.'
High Fidelity is currently streaming on Disney Plus.
