During the summer season, celebrities Lola Tung and Gavin Casalegno involved in a heated political incident.
In the world of popular television, the hit series "The Summer I Turned Pretty" has been making waves, both on and off-screen. The show, which features Lola Tung as Isabel "Belly" Conklin and Gavin Casalegno as Jeremiah Fisher, has recently been embroiled in a bit of drama that stems from a political divide between its stars.
Lola Tung, known for her activism and vocal political views, has been an active participant in protests, including those following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and has expressed her support for Palestine during the Israel-Hamas conflict. In contrast, Gavin Casalegno has been much quieter politically and has not publicly posted about these issues.
This divergence in activism and beliefs has led to political tension between them, a fact that Lola herself has confirmed. TikTok creator @spilltheteawithmera, who has been documenting the tension between Lola Tung and Gavin Casalegno, notes that when someone like Lola Tung is so vocal about her views, it's easy to imagine how things might get tense with someone who sits on the opposite side of those issues.
However, it seems that the stars are managing to maintain a professional relationship, especially while promoting the show’s third season. Yet, it's suggested that their friendship may not extend beyond work due to these conflicting views. The divide appears significant enough that they are deliberately keeping interactions professional, similar to how politicians manage relationships despite opposing beliefs.
The tension has been evident in various instances, such as an awkward interview that was captured on video and shared on TikTok. Clips from this interview gained significant attention and were described as uncomfortable. Furthermore, Lola Tung recently implied that a song by Sabrina Carpenter, 'Manchild', applies to someone in the cast of "The Summer I Turned Pretty" during a Vanity Fair interview, adding another layer of intrigue to the situation.
@spilltheteawithmera suggests that while political differences can cause friction, they don't automatically mean there's drama. However, in this case, it seems that the political divide has indeed introduced tension and affected their personal rapport, though they continue to collaborate professionally for the series.
