AceShowbiz - Zoe Kravitz has publicly expressed her displeasure with Hulu’s recent promotional efforts for her canceled series, High Fidelity, criticizing the streamer for using a reference tied to her personal life in a way she found inappropriate.

The 37-year-old actress responded directly to a now-deleted Instagram post by Hulu, which captioned a photo of her in character with a nod to speculation about her relationship with Harry Styles. The caption said, “Robyn Brooks definitely has Kiss All the Time, Disco Occasionally on her playlist,” combining the name of her character in the show with a reference to Styles’ fourth studio album titled Kiss All the Time, Disco Occasionally.

Kravitz did not hold back in the comments, tagging Hulu and stating plainly, “This is tacky.” Her reaction highlights her discomfort with the way the streamer leveraged her rumored engagement to Styles to market the 2020 TV series.

Multiple outlets have reported that the couple, who were first linked in August 2025, are engaged. The rumor mill intensified earlier this year when Kravitz was seen wearing a diamond ring on her left hand while walking with Styles, 32, in London. Page Six was among the first to share the engagement news, which was later confirmed by a source to People magazine.

Us Weekly reached out to Hulu for comment regarding Kravitz’s criticism and the deleted post, but no official statement has been released.

In High Fidelity, Kravitz portrayed Robyn Brooks, a lonely record store owner in a gender-swapped remake of the 2000 film of the same name. The movie, which was adapted from a novel by Nick Hornby, originally starred John Cusack, Jack Black, and featured Kravitz’s mother, Lisa Bonet.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly in February 2020, Kravitz reflected on the significance of taking on a project that her mother had been involved with two decades earlier. She called the experience “serendipitous and wonderful” and shared that she has long been a fan of the original movie, independent of her mother’s involvement. She cited her favorite films growing up as angsty classics like Empire Records and Reality Bites, describing them as movies “that talk about almost nothing and everything at the same time.”

Beyond her acting role, Kravitz was also an executive producer on High Fidelity and had a hand in selecting much of the show’s music. She explained to EW that while writing the series, she was constantly adding songs to a playlist that became the soundtrack for both the show and her character. “There’s the idea that if I relate to it, other people will too,” she said. “I’ve been Rob. I feel like we’ve all been Rob or will be Rob again.”

The tension between Kravitz and Hulu stems from the streamer’s decision to tie the show’s promotion to her personal relationship with Harry Styles, which the actress clearly found uncomfortable and inappropriate. This incident comes amid ongoing public interest in the couple’s relationship, which has been closely covered by various media outlets since their romance began.

As of now, there has been no further comment from Kravitz or Hulu following the actress’s public criticism and the deletion of the controversial Instagram post. Fans of both stars continue to follow their personal and professional developments closely, especially given the engagement rumors and Kravitz’s high-profile projects.

In summary, Zoe Kravitz has voiced her displeasure with Hulu over what she called a “tacky” promotional tactic involving a direct mention of Harry Styles in connection with her canceled television series High Fidelity. The controversy underscores the ongoing challenges celebrities face regarding the use of their personal lives in marketing campaigns without their approval or comfort.
