It is filled with graphic content that ranges from drugs, violence, and mental health issues to full-frontal nudity and sex scenes.

What Did Sweeney Say About The Trolls That Tag Her Family Under Her Nude Scenes From ‘Euphoria’?
In an interview with British GQ, the 25-year-old actress mentioned about all the online trolling she has to face as ‘Euphoria‘ has come under a strong spotlight with much media traction. The downside of all that attention and fame has been difficult for the actress.
After the first season of ‘Euphoria,‘ a lot of her nude scenes from the series were posted online. Many of these troll accounts would go as far as tagging her family members in the post, too. “My cousins don’t need that,” Sydney shared. “It’s completely disgusting and unfair.” She also added, “You have a character that goes through the scrutiny of being a sexualized person at school and then an audience that does the same thing.”

How Did Sydney Sweeney Deal With The Public Trolling Of Her Nude Scenes?
The downside of fame has been a difficult challenge for Sydney, but she isn’t ready to give up on the spotlight. She carries forward this spotlight professionally, saying, “I’m an artist, I play characters. It makes me want to play characters that p*ss people off more.”
In a 2021 interview, Sydney said of her characters and the nude scenes with a similar stance.”The easiest way that I’ve handled and separated myself from it is — and not everyone is going to agree — I’ve made it where when I see that picture, that is not me. That is Cassie. Or that is Pippa. You’re getting to see character, and me as Sydney is very separate. When I see a picture like that, I truly say, that’s Cassie’s nude, or that’s Pippa’s nude,” Sydney said.
