![]() ![]() This led to her explaining in a Washington Post piece that Levinson had been nothing but supportive and that she’s never felt “pressured” to do anything explicit. Her words prompted concern from fans who were worried about her feeling exploited by the show. When I didn’t want to do it, he didn’t make me.” “He was like, ‘OK, we don’t need it.’ I’ve never felt like Sam has pushed it on me or was trying to get a nude scene into an HBO show. “There are moments where Cassie was supposed to be shirtless and I would tell Sam, ‘I don’t really think that’s necessary here,’” Sweeney said. The 24-year-old told the Independent that she’d had a conversation with Levinson about cutting some of her character’s topless scenes. ![]() Sydney Sweeney was the first to open up about “unnecessary” nakedness in the script. But among the rabid praise for the series are some concerning remarks from some of the female stars of the show about feeling uneasy about the nudity scripted by creator Sam Levinson. The show has also been criticized by D.A.R.E for aestheticizing trauma, being “ unrelentingly explicit” in its depictions of violence, and choosing to “misguidedly glorify … high school student drug use” (although, as some people on Twitter point out, watching Rue almost overdose by a Whirlpool washer is probably the last thing that would make me want to try drugs).The world is going mad for Euphoria right now, with an endless string of glittery stills and memes continually occupying our timelines. The second season has only amped that up, featuring even more moments of violence from the onset, ending the season premiere with Elordi’s Nate having his head smashed with a bottle. The show has repeatedly touched on themes like domestic violence, drug use, and unsafe sex, often using physical violence or the anxiety brought by the threat of it, to emphasize that these kids are messed up and their lives are hard. Before the show returned, Zendaya shared a trigger warning on her social media accounts, warning fans that season 2 “is deeply emotional and deals with subject matter that can be triggering and difficult to watch.” Since its June 2019 premiere, Euphoria has garnered both praise and criticism for its glaring depiction of the dark side of growing up. To be fair, the show - and its stars - know that the series is emotionally trying to watch. “It’s one of the good parts of being a woman, even if you don’t have money you’ve still got something people want.” And as the screen fades to black - mirroring Rue’s consciousness - I’m terrified of what we’d see, and the position Rue would be in, when she wakes up. As Rue lays naked in Laurie’s bathtub, Laurie shoots Rue up with morphine then tells her that, as a woman, there are other ways to work off her drug debt. The catch: Rue owes Laurie $10,000 for a suitcase of drugs she was supposed to sell, but didn’t. It was the first of many tense scenes, the most recent happening on Sunday’s episode when Rue ( Emmy-winner Zendaya), detoxing and on the hunt for more pills, shows up at drug dealer Laurie’s home asking for a hit. After breaking into the guy’s apartment, Nate waits until he returns home and orders him to kneel in front of him by his bedside. ![]() It was in season 1, when Nate Jacobs (played sinisterly by Jacob Elordi) attacks a college student for sleeping with his then-girlfriend Maddy (Alexa Demie) at a party. I remember the first time I thought someone was going to be sexually assaulted on Euphoria. ![]()
