During the press tour for the Wicked franchise in 2024 and 2025, both Ariana and Cynthia faced similar speculation due to their reportedly “gaunt” and “frail” appearances.
At the time, viral before-and-after comparisons highlighted hollowed cheeks, prominent collarbones, and sharply defined jawlines, leading some to speculate about buccal fat removal or the use of weight-loss meds.

In a red carpet interview with Variety at the Euphoria premiere, Demie admitted she was unsure whether the show would return after its long hiatus.
She shared that while there was always a “lingering” hope for Season 3, “there were many points that we thought… it was always lingering that it would, but there were so many moments where I was like, maybe it doesn’t.”
When asked about a possible Season 4, Demie replied, “Oh, God. I honestly haven’t given it any thought. I’ve been so present with Season 3.”
“And… I don’t know. I don’t know! That’s a question for Sam [the show’s creator], I feel. He can answer that.”
“That’s not buccaI fat removal it’s literally o**mpic face,” wrote one concerned fan of the actress
