Zendaya 'The Melodrama' embroiled in controversy before April launch

Zendaya’s upcoming A24 launch The Melodrama is being marketed as a quirky wedding romantic humor, but a shocking twist has already sparked outrage.

Zendaya’s character part figure reveals to her fiancé that she once intended to carry out a high school shooting but backed out at the last instance.

Tom Mauser, whose son Daniel was among the victims of the Columbine massacre, told TMZ he was “disgusted” by the choice to use such a storyline in what’s promoted as a romantic humor.

A longtime gun reform advocate, Mauser said he couldn’t believe filmmakers thought a school shooting secondary storyline was appropriate for the style.

“It’s awful,” he said, adding that the twist risks trivializing a tragedy that continues to devastate families.
