HBO’s “Euphoria” is no stranger to pushing boundaries, but the latest season has sparked a major conversation among its own cast members. A recently surfaced interview with Chloe Cherry, known for her role as Faye, shows her expressing shock at the direction of Sydney Sweeney‘s character, Cassie, and questioning the state of modern society. The controversy centers on Season 3 storylines that place Cassie into the world of adult content creation, leading to internal criticism from peers.
Chloe Cherry Questions ‘Crazy As F*ck’ ‘Euphoria’ Storyline For Sydney Sweeney
The third season of the hit HBO drama has returned, but some of the choices for the characters are hard for even the people on set to understand. Chloe Cherry, who has a background in the adult industry before joining the show, is speaking out about how odd she finds Cassie’s new job.
Cherry, who plays Faye Valentine, has been doing press for the new season. During an interview with Refinery29, she reacted directly to the Season 3 teaser that caused a massive stir online. The clip in question features Sydney Sweeney dressed in a baby outfit while making content for an adult website.
For Cherry, seeing someone of Cassie’s social standing turn to this type of work doesn’t make sense. She did not hold back her surprise, calling the entire situation “crazy as f*ck.”
“It’s really hard to say if it would give her any power. Obviously Cassie is extremely attractive, so it probably would lead to her making a lot of money. But it just feels crazy as fuck to see somebody living like Cassie turn to s*x work. It’s like, holy shit, that’s where we’re at in society?” Cherry questioned.
Why The OnlyFans Plot Bothers Her
Cherry offered a unique perspective on this debate because of her life experience. Before landing her role on Euphoria, she actually worked as an adult film actress and had an OnlyFans account. This gives her the credibility to discuss whether these scenes are realistic or just for shock.
She explained that while news stories often make the job look like quick and easy money, the reality is usually much harder. She noted that the normalization of sites like OnlyFans does not come from a place of empowerment, but rather from economic pressure.
“I do think that it’s true. OnlyFans and s*x work have become more normalized, but it’s literally only because of capitalism and the economy getting worse,” Cherry explained.
She added that people are turning to the platform out of financial need, not because it gives them freedom. When asked directly about the “kink” element of Cassie’s storyline involving the baby costume, Cherry expressed genuine confusion, predicting that people will look back at this era of the internet with bewilderment.
“I really think that OnlyFans is a crazy, weird phenomenon of the 2020s that we will look back on and be very confused by,” she said.
Fan Reactions To The New Season
The internet did not wait long to react to the Season 3 premiere. Viewers flooded X (formerly Twitter) with comments about the explicit nature of the plot, specifically the scenes involving Zendaya and the transformation of Cassie. Many fans are directing their anger at series creator Sam Levinson.
Critics argue that almost all the female leads are now involved in s*x work or degrading situations. This has led to accusations that the show has lost its original direction.
A viewer posted on X, questioning the creator’s intent: “Does Sam Levinson know there are other career paths for women other than s*x work or…?”
Other fans expressed discomfort with the visuals. One user wrote, “Had to rewind the baby outfit scene because surely I wasn’t seeing what I thought I’d just seen???”
The controversy has also spread to political commentators. Megyn Kelly discussed the teaser on her show, directly criticizing Sydney Sweeney for agreeing to the scene and calling the imagery “sick.”
Context Inside The Show
Euphoria Season 3 jumps forward in time, showing the characters as adults in their twenties. Cassie and Nate are engaged, living in a large suburban home. But despite the appearance of wealth, Cassie is shown using a platform similar to OnlyFans to “grow her following” and fund the wedding while participating in fetish work.

This includes scenes where she dresses as a dog, eats out of a bowl, and where Nate refers to her as a “bad dog.” The shift in tone from the high school drama of previous seasons has been jarring for many loyal fans.
Chloe Cherry’s character, Faye, also plays a bigger role this season. She is seen engaging in dangerous drug smuggling activities alongside Rue, showing that the show remains dark. However, Cherry’s criticism stands out specifically because she recognizes the absurdity of Sweeney’s specific adult content plotline given the character’s lifestyle.
