Zendaya Claps Back at False Restaurant Report

As expected, she responds in the shadiest and most iconic way.

Zendaya and her team have made it clear: she was not denied entry from a restaurant due to her wardrobe. The false accusation in question stems from an alleged report from the Daily Mail, which reported the Dune star was "refused entry to a swanky restaurant due to its strict dress code."

Since then, Zendaya's team immediately addressed the rumors, calling them "completely false," per Page Six

Zendaya's assistant Darnell Appling took to his Instagram story also clapping back at the false report, stating, "Well this a bald head lie. We never got denied entry anywhere. We walked into the building [and] realized we were there before when we saw the stairs...The same stairs Zendaya slipped on last year and posted about."

He continued, "We all wanted to try a new restaurant and went somewhere else to do so. We actually never went upstairs and interacted with anyone. We talked amongst ourselves in the downstairs lobby. This whole story is a lie. But y'all be blessed tho."

Zendaya also chimes in, though in a typical Z fashion, she addressed it in a shadier manner. On her Instagram story, the Euphoria star posts a meme of a cartoon asking "Source?" with the response "I made it up."

The actress was enjoying a weekend in Rome for the opening of Bulgari’s new luxury hotel, Bulgari Hotel Roma. As expected, she did not disappoint in her off-duty street-style looks. Two particularly standout looks were a gray mini dress and loafers combo, and a mid-riff baring tube top and cargo pants — the latter of which was alleged to be the (now-debunked) outfit that didn't follow the dress code. 

If there's any one lesson to take away from this, it's Zendaya isn't afraid to set a record straight.
