Sydney Sweeney appeared to respond to “Euphoria” criticism with a short Instagram caption after backlash over Cassie’s season three storyline.
The 28-year-old actor shared behind-the-scenes photos from the latest season, including images linked to some of the show’s most discussed moments.
“It’s called… acting,” Sweeney wrote in the caption.
Many fans read the post as a response to criticism of Cassie’s storyline this season. The character faced online debate after scenes involving an OnlyFans plot to help pay for her dream wedding.
The storyline drew mixed reactions from viewers. Some questioned the direction of the show, while others defended Sweeney’s performance.
Sweeney did not directly address the criticism during the season. However, the “Christy” actor’s Instagram post led fans to believe she was commenting on the debate.
Sweeney has previously discussed how male and female actors are judged differently over intimate scenes. She said women can face more criticism than men in such situations.
