Euphoria’s Sam Levinson on Sydney Sweeney’s OnlyFans Storyline

Sam Levinson thinks Euphoria fans are barking up the wrong tree.

After facing backlash over Sydney Sweeney’s OnlyFans storyline in Euphoria’s season three premiere, which debuted on April 12, Levinson hit back at the ongoing criticism.

In fact, the show creator said it was an intentional choice to have Cassie doing a sexy dog photoshoot inside the outdated home she lives in with fiancé Nate Jacobs (Jacob Elordi) as they prepare for their expensive wedding.

“[Cassie] has got her dog house and her little dog ears and the nose, and that has its own humor,” Levinson explained to The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published on April 12, “but what makes the scene is the fact that her housekeeper is the one filming it.”

“What we wanted to always find is the other layer of absurdity that we’re able to tie into it so that we’re not too inside of her fantasy or illusion,” the 41-year-old added. “The gag is to jump out, to break the wall.”
