But just the way it was handled was so gross and it&#8217;s just disgusting and vile.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For anyone who isn&#8217;t caught up on &#8220;Euphoria,&#8221; Ward is most likely referring to a scene in which  Cassie (Sweeney) is dressed in pigtails, wearing a sheer dress, and sucking on a pacifier.<\/p>\n<p>During the interview, Ward also warned about the broader implications of normalizing that kind of content, saying, &#8220;You don&#8217;t want pedophilia anywhere near pornography.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She argues the entire Cassie storyline misrepresents OnlyFans creators rather than celebrating them.<\/p>\n<p>Ward feels the character&#8217;s over-the-top behavior \u2014 like drinking from a dog bowl while in costume \u2014 amounts to mockery. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s saying how weird and creepy they are,&#8221; she said. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s so many creators who are really working hard to build their brands every day, and this is really disingenuous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sydney Leathers, another adult content creator, echoed similar concerns about Sweeney&#8217;s &#8220;Euphoria&#8221; storyline in an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/tv\/news\/sydney-sweeney-euphoria-onlyfans-hbo-sex-worker-nude-1236741946\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/tv\/news\/sydney-sweeney-euphoria-onlyfans-hbo-sex-worker-nude-1236741946\/\" class=\"themeColorForLinks\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Variety.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s just a lot that&#8217;s ridiculous and cartoonish about it,&#8221; Leathers said. <\/p>\n<p>She added, &#8220;There&#8217;s so much that they have her doing that is not even allowed on OnlyFans, and that alone is infuriating: the age-play stuff where she&#8217;s dressed as a baby in a diaper, for example.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Credit card processors have very strict rules that you have to abide by, and the rules are getting stricter all the time,&#8221; Leathers explained.<\/p>\n<p>Follow us on Instagram <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/wearepauserewind\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/wearepauserewind\/\" class=\"themeColorForLinks\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">@WeArePauseRewind <\/a>for all your pop culture obsessions.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sydney Sweeney is sparking major backlash.
