Following the release of ‘The Idol,’ writer-director Sam Levinson has become public enemy number one. Despite the show receiving unanimous bashing, most of his collaborators have stood by him, including Sydney Sweeney. In a recent interview, the ‘Euphoria’ actress defended the show’s depiction of s*x and female nudity.

Sydney Sweeney also talked about her movie projects, including filming Dakota Johnson-starrer ‘Madame Web.‘ The film follows Johnson’s character, who’s a clairvoyant, allowing her to see within the spider world. The ‘Euphoria‘ actress plays Julia Carpenter and promises a different superhero movie experience.

Sydney Sweeney Speaks Her Mind On ‘The Idol’ Controversy 

Sydney Sweeney is defending ‘Euphoria’ creator Sam Levinson in the court of public opinion. Sweeney, who plays Cassie Howard on the show, is protective of Levinson. In a recent interview for Variety, she spoke of seeing no merits in these accusations and standing by his friend and mentor. 

She told the outlet, “You have me, you have [Zendaya], you have all of these very strongminded, independent women. If we didn’t feel comfortable with something, or we saw something we didn’t like, we’d all speak up,” 

The ‘Reality’ actress added, “It’s hard to see someone completely trashed by the public and the media when no one’s actually there. We are there, and clearly we’re still working on the show, and we’re still supportive.”
