Taking to her social media handle, the 25-year-old actor issued a statement ahead of the Euphoria season 2 premiere to warn the fans about the 'triggering and difficult to watch' scenes. The young actor shared a monochrome picture of her character with the caption, ''A reminder before tonight…'' She wrote,

''I know I've said this before, but I do want to reiterate to everyone that Euphoria is for mature audiences. This season, maybe even more so than the last, is deeply emotional and deals with subject matter that can be triggering and difficult to watch. Please only watch it if you feel comfortable.'' She also took the opportunity to urge the fans to take care of themselves and reminded them about being loved. She concluded, ''Take care of yourself and know that either way you are still loved and I can still feel your support. All my love, Daya."
