The newest episode of Euphoria season 3 sees the character of Cassie Howard, played by Sydney Sweeney, do some unhinged and bizarre things for her OnlyFans page. And this time, it crossed all lines after maker Sam Levinson reimagined her as Lana Del Rey in the Doin’ Time music video, in Neanderthal-style animal skin clothing. The internet was appalled by this, and they have some serious views.
Sydney Sweeney In Euphoria 3
Euphoria 3’s fifth episode, named “This Little Piggy”, starts with Cassie Howard taking her OnlyFans career to a new height as Rue Bennett (Zendaya) explains that Nate’s debt has given his wife a free pass to pursue her much-awaited s*x worker pipe dream. This is a throwback to when Nate didn’t approve of Cassie filming explicit videos to pay for their wedding flowers. She dreams of making foot fetish clips with bows tied around her toes while filming ASMR content with her chest and roleplaying as a young girl with pigtails and a pacifier in her mouth.
And just when you think that things cannot get more bizarre, Cassie suddenly takes a sip of some twisted potion as her clothes begin ripping apart and she grows larger. Giant Cassie wrecks the city and tramples over people and cars while flinging a helicopter away with her hair. In another moment, she sees a man self-pleasuring while watching her videos and “blesses” him by pressing her bare top against the building’s glass, only to completely shatter it.

The episode, without any surprises, drew divided views online, with many criticising the makers for overtly s*xualising Sydney Sweeney. One user questioned them and asked for the “real plot” and to stop showing random fever dreams of Sweeney and Zendaya. Variety reported that Sem Levinson’s portrayal of a s*x worker through Cassie angered the real OnlyFans creators, who said that the show put them to even more mockery and humiliation. They called this portrayal “inaccurate.”
