Zendaya's mum forced to 'name drop' her daughter after security stopped her approaching actor at Emmys

Zendaya's mum forced to 'name drop' her daughter after security stopped her approaching actor at Emmys

Zendaya’s mum has admitted she was forced to ‘name drop’ her daughter after security supposedly stopped her from approaching her famous offspring at the Emmys.  

While many of us would probably scream it from the rooftops if we were related to a multi-award-winning actor, it seems the woman who bore Hollywood powerhouse Zendaya is a little humbler. 

The star’s mother, Claire Stoermer, took to Instagram after Zendaya’s most recent Emmy win, explaining how she had gone to congratulate her daughter. 

However, as she got closer, Stoermer claims someone tried to stop her approaching, meaning she had to do something she apparently never does: drop her name.

According to Insider, the proud mum recalled: "Made my way to Z before they awarded her the Emmy and gave her the biggest hug and said... breathe!!! 

"The man who tried to stop me said 'where are your credentials?' I said 'I'm Zendaya's mom' and kept walking!! Hahaha! I never name drop like that but I have to do it!" 

UNILAD has reached out to the Emmys for comment.

Zendaya made history earlier this week when she became the first Black woman to win an Emmy for Lead Actress in a Drama Series for a second time. She is now also the youngest woman ever to win two Emmys in the same category.

Accepting the award for her performance as Rue in Euphoria, she gave a heartfelt shout-out to family and friends.

"This means so much," she told the audience.

"Thank you, thank you so much. Wow. To all the incredible actresses in this category, I’m so honoured to be beside you. Thank you to the incredible, incredible cast and crew of Euphoria for making such a safe space to make this very difficult show. I love you all so much.

"Thank you to the Academy. Thank you to my friends and family, some of which are here tonight.

"Thank you to Sam [Levinson] for sharing Rue with me. Thank you for believing in me even in moments where I didn’t believe in myself, and then lastly, I just want to say, you know, my greatest wish for Euphoria was that it could help heal people. I just want to say thank you to everyone who has shared their story with me. I want you to know that anyone who has loved a Rue or feels like they are a Rue, I want you to know I’m so grateful for your stories and I carry them with me, and I carry them with her. So thank you so much."
