In January — just as season 2 of the #HBO series “#Succession” was beginning to be filmed — actress Sarah Snook told E! News about a brief sent regarding the development of her character, Siobhan “Shiv” Roy: “Think: #IvankaTrump.” https://t.co/M0sGnjaV8t

Finally, many people noted an apparent connection between Ivanka Trump and a character in HBO's hit drama Succession. Actress Sarah Snook told E! News that her character Shiv Roy was modeled after Ivanka Trump. In Season 2 of the series, Shiv returned with a newly shortened haircut, and about a week later, Ivanka debuted the same look. Many people speculate that this was done on purpose, on one end or the other.
