When it comes to Euphoria, the show is well know for its controversial scenes, but even die-hard viewers couldn’t help but find themselves shocked on Sunday night as Sydney Sweeney once again subjected herself to what they described as a ‘humiliation ritual’ in shocking scenes.
On Sunday May 10, the latest episode of the show opened to Sweeney’s character Cassie, sucking her toes as she recites the ‘This Little Piggy’ nursery rhyme for her OnlyFans subscribers.
Yet things only went downhill from here, as Cassie later took on a Godzilla-like persona that saw her crush buildings with her nipples as she, wreaked havoc on the men of Hollywood who enjoyed her work.
In a slew of clips, Cassie recorded her voice and performed several sex acts, as she sought to grow her OnlyFans following, yet while this made sense for the character, viewers tuning in couldn’t help but ask how Sydney Sweeney herself had ever agreed to film such content for the show.

Taking to social media to share their thoughts, one person wrote, "I'm convinced this season of Euphoria is a Sydney Sweeney humiliation ritual."
Another echoed the sentiment adding: "Sydney Sweeney humiliation ritual for the first ten minutes."
A third then said, "This has got to be a humiliation ritual for Sydney Sweeney. They had to pay her good for that Godzilla reenactment."
Yet another viewer soon chimed in, writing: ”They cannot possibly be paying Sydney Sweeney that much money cause wth do they have her doing ..like omg it’s a humiliation ritual every Sunday.”
Throughout season 3 of the show, Sweeney has constantly been at the heart of some controversial scenes, with many questioning what had prompted her to perform such compromising content on camera.
One person penned, "Like what the f--k Sydney Sweeney read the Euphoria script and said yesssss I really wanna be in this.”
Another added, "The concept of Sydney Sweeney reading this script and accepting it and then also doing it,” before a third went on to brand it tantamount to ‘porn’ as they commented: "10 mins in… why is this season just Sydney Sweeney p-rn?”
Despite a backlash regarding her portrayal, Sweeney has stood by her work, and during a recent interview with The Independent, she stated, "I'm very proud of my work in Euphoria. I thought it was a great performance. But no one talks about it because I got naked.”
She argued there’s ‘a stigma against actresses who get naked on screen,’ noting, "When a guy has a sex scene or shows his body, he still wins awards and gets praise. But the moment a girl does it, it's completely different."
