Zoe Kravitz blasts Hulu over 'tacky' reference to Harry Styles engagement

Zoe Kravitz hit out at “tacky” streaming platform Hulu for seemingly using her engagement to Harry Styles to promote her now-cancelled series.

The actor, 37, got engaged to the singer, 32, after eight months of dating and has been seen flashing a large diamond ring on her left hand.

Hulu appeared to cash in on the major relationship news on their Instagram account by sharing a post about Kravitz’s defunct show, High Fidelity and reminding viewers that it is still available to stream.

The show, which starred Kravitz as record owner Robyn Brooks, was cancelled after one series by Hulu in 2020 - something the actor branded a “big mistake”.

However, this week, the streamer shared an Instagram photo of Kravitz from the series alongside a reference to her new fiance’s album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.

“Robyn Brooks definitely has Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally on her playlist. Now streaming: #HighFidelity,” the caption read.

Kravitz hit back in the comments: “This is tacky @hulu.”

The post appears to have since been deleted, but was shared on Reddit.

One Reddit user wrote: “I imagine it's annoying to see the company that cancelled your show after one season promoting it years later just for the sake of cheap social media engagement around your own personal life.”

Another added: “I mean they cancelled this show and now want to use her relationship to promote it? I don’t like her but she’s right.”

Others defended the streamer, with one penning: “God forbid they try to benefit from the show they invested in and I don’t want to defend Hulu!”

Evening Standard has contacted Hulu for comment.

Kravitz blasted Hulu when the show was cancelled and suggested that their other shows don’t have diverse casts.

“It’s cool. At least Hulu has a ton of other shows starring women of color we can watch. Oh wait,” she posted at the time.

She spoke about it again in 2022, telling Elle: “They didn’t realize what that show was and what it could do.

“The amount of letters, DMs, people on the street, and women that look like us - like, that love for the show, it meant something to people. It was a big mistake.”

Styles and Kravitz‘s engagement was reported last month, with sources saying Styles is “completely smitten” with the Batman star.

“He would jump off a cliff for her,” a source told Page Six, adding that Kravitz is “on cloud nine”.

The A-list couple’s friends are said to be excited about the engagement, with insiders saying: “No one in their circle is surprised.”

This marks Styles’ first engagement. Kravitz was previously married to actor Karl Glusman, 38, from 2019 to 2021.

The pair hare yet to publicly confirm their engagement.
