‘Euphoria’ Creator Sam Levinson Defends Sydney Sweeney’s OnlyFans Storyline After Backlash
Kayla Jade is feeling less than euphoric about Euphoria.
The influencer and sex worker shared her thoughts on Sydney Sweeney’s OnlyFans arc on season three of the HBO series, which sees Sweeney’s character Cassie use the platform to help pay off debts for husband Nate (Jacob Elordi).
“I would never understand the love-hate relationship that people have towards SW [sex work] on shows like Euphoria,” Jade began in a recent TikTok. “Like, it’s great having them represented in TV when they’re shown as a real person who just happens to be a worker.”
However, the Call Girl Confidential author took issue with Euphoria’s depiction of Cassie on the show, adding, “When you’re showing them have zero boundaries and will do anything for a bit of money, it just reinforces those negative views towards SW.”
In one episode, Sweeney’s character was seen dressed up like a dog for a photoshoot, following that up with another shoot wearing a see-through babydoll dress and sucking on a pacifier. But as Jade noted, she and other sex workers would never “encourage that type of behavior.”
