Sydney Sweeney<\/a> is shutting down critics of her controversial “Euphoria” scenes and making it clear that she stands by her work as her character Cassie Howard.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old actress and the HBO drama series have faced backlash over her portrayal<\/a> of Cassie in the third and final season in which her character dove into the world of OnlyFans and creating sexually explicit content.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Sweeney hit back at her detractors with a brief but pointed message on Instagram<\/a> along with a carousel of behind-the-scenes images that included some of Cassie’s most provocative season three looks.<\/p>\n

“it\u2019s called\u2026 acting,” Sweeney wrote in the caption of her slideshow, which included photos in which the actress was seen almost completely nude<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In one image, Sweeney went topless and wore<\/a> sheer nude stockings with strategically placed leaf-shaped coverings as she posed with a giant python.<\/p>\n

Sweeney was seen topless wearing only a pair of nude thong underwear as the python wrapped itself around her body in another photo.<\/p>\n

In a mirror selfie, the “Anyone But You” star donned a brown dog costume comprised of dog ears, a collar, a leash, wristbands and a satin corset.<\/p>\n

‘EUPHORIA’ FACES BACKLASH AFTER SYDNEY SWEENEY’S MOST X-RATED EPISODE YET<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

When the fetish-inspired dog-costume scene aired<\/a> during the season, it quickly became one of “Euphoria’s” most polarizing moments, triggering widespread backlash from viewers who criticized the storyline as excessive and unnecessarily provocative.<\/p>\n

In other photos, Sweeney was seen posing in a tiny hot pink string bikini while kneeling on a bar, hanging upside down from a stripper pole and wearing the low-cut corset-style wedding dress that Cassie<\/a> donned when she married Nate Jacobs (Jacob Elordi).<\/p>\n

In addition to her Instagram post, Sweeney also shared a series of selfies to her Instagram Story. She was seen wearing a pink and nude dress with a low-cut rose-trimmed neckline in one image.<\/p>\n

The Emmy Award nominee posed in a gold halter top in another photo and modeled a sheer white babydoll negligee adorned with pink roses over white lingerie in one shot.<\/p>\n

In another photo that she shared, Sweeney was seen sitting in a makeup chair while a stylist curled her hair.<\/p>\n

Sweeney also included other snaps from filming, including photos of herself posing with her co-stars including Elordi and Alexa Demie.<\/p>\n

SYDNEY SWEENEY FANS BEG ‘EUPHORIA’ TO END THE ‘HUMILIATION RITUAL’ AFTER SHOCKING NEW CASSIE SCENE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

During a Monday appearance on The New York Times “Popcast<\/a>” podcast, “Euphoria” creator Sam Levinson heaped praise on Sweeney for her bold approach to the controversial scenes and nudity depicted throughout the season.<\/p>\n

“When I first wrote it \u2026 I thought, \u2018Well, maybe, we shoot all of this, and we don\u2019t have any nudity,\u2019” Levinson said via Us Weekly. <\/a>“I was talking to her about, maybe, there\u2019s ways to shoot around certain [things] \u2014 and she looked at me, and she\u2019s like, \u2018Are you kidding? I\u2019m playing an OnlyFans model.\u2019”<\/p>\n

The 41-year-old emphasized that he “always” consults with actors about what best serves their characters, and Sweeney<\/a> was willing to fully embrace the creative direction.<\/p>\n

“I think she\u2019s a totally fearless actor. She\u2019s also just wonderfully professional, and shows up just game every day,” he said. “I adore working with her, because there\u2019s such a flexibility in terms of the performance.”<\/p>\n

Levinson explained that he and “The Housemaid” star share “a lot of trust.”<\/p>\n

“I can say, \u2018Why don\u2019t we try this scene just a little crazier, with a little more humor.\u2019 Suddenly, this whole other version of the scene can come out just based on her performance,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re tackling this world of OnlyFans where women are being paid to whisper into an ear-shaped microphone and lick it,” Levinson continued. “There is a level of absurdity to it that is just fun.”<\/p>\n

In the show, Cassie launched her OnlyFans account to help fund her lavish wedding to Nate and later turns it into a full-fledged career after their relationship unravels.<\/p>\n

After briefly deleting the account under pressure from Nate, she relaunches it, gains viral fame and eventually becomes a successful content creator<\/a>. In the series finale, Sweeney shuts down her OnlyFans account after landing a coveted role on the fictional soap opera “L.A. Nights.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
