A scene from the third season of HBO Max\u2019s series \u201cEuphoria\u201d became quite controversial online after a fantasy scene featuring Sydney Sweeney garnered considerable attention.<\/p>\n
In the episode, Sweeney portrays Cassie Howard, who has become famous for creating adult content with her partner, Maddy Perez. During the fantasy scene, Cassie grows in size and becomes as tall as characters from the movies Attack of the 50 Foot Woman and the Godzilla franchise; then she destroys parts of Los Angeles, all while helicopters surround her. The character Rue Bennett says, \u201cShe knew this was her destiny to triumph, to conquer, to win.\u201d<\/p>\n
Social media users have reacted negatively to the scene, with many calling it a \u201chumiliation ritual\u201d. As one user put it, \u201cHow many more fetishes can they fit into this show? This has to be a record.\u201d Also, the show\u2019s plot is now being viewed as drifting far from its original intentions. \u201cThey don\u2019t talk about Rue\u2019s addiction anymore, isn\u2019t that why the show is called \u2018Euphoria\u2019?\u201d one Twitter user asked.<\/p>\n
The Euphoria creator, Sam Levinson, has received much criticism, with one Twitter user asking: \u201cWhat the h\u2014 did Sam Levinson do to this series?\u201d Another user commented saying: \u201cSam Levinson is making straight up f\u2014\u2014 p\u2013n and he needs to be stopped.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, the controversy occurs amid a wider discussion of the treatment of actresses in the movie industry. In a recent interview with The Independent, Sydney Sweeney described some of the criticism of her nudity. \u201cI\u2019m very proud of my work in Euphoria,\u201d Sweeney said. \u201cI thought it was a great performance. But no one talks about it because I got naked.\u201d In turn, Sam Levinson defended her, saying that her acting was brilliant, according to The Hollywood Reporter.<\/p>\n
Euphoria Season 3 is currently airing on HBO Max.<\/p>\n
