Chloe Cherry Champions Sydney Sweeney Amid Over-Sexualization Critique

Chloe Cherry Stands Up for Sydney Sweeney

Chloe Cherry is not holding back when it comes to defending her fellow "Euphoria" star, Sydney Sweeney. The actress has boldly spoken out against the ongoing public sexualization of Sweeney, drawing attention to the pressures that come with being in the public eye.

Speaking candidly, Cherry pointed out the societal tendency to sexualize women "born with huge breasts," like Sweeney, regardless of their own wishes. She noted that this scrutiny is part of a larger conversation about body image and fame, saying, "Cassie didn’t choose to look how she looks, but everybody treats her in such a specific way because of how she looks."

"Women with certain body types tend to be sexualized whether they want to or not," Cherry shared with Glamour Magazine.

The Rise of OnlyFans: A Sign of the Times

Cherry, who transitioned from the adult entertainment industry to mainstream acting, also shared her observations on the growing popularity of platforms like OnlyFans. She believes this trend reflects both societal shifts and economic pressures.

According to Cherry, many turn to OnlyFans as a financial necessity amid economic downturns, much like her character Cassie does on "Euphoria." "The economy going to the absolute dogs" has forced many young women, often without family support, to seek alternative means to make ends meet. "It’s just capitalism," she stated, pointing out that the massive user base on OnlyFans is indicative of these harsh economic realities.

Lessons Learned from the Set of 'Euphoria'

On a more personal note, Cherry shared insights from her time working with Zendaya on "Euphoria." Playing Faye, a character with a tumultuous relationship with Zendaya's Rue, Cherry learned the importance of staying relaxed on set.

"When you’re filming, literally just relax," she advised, crediting Zendaya for teaching her to focus on performance over perfection. "Zendaya was very good at teaching people to just take a deep breath and just act like there’s not even a camera there."

Sam Levinson's Creative Intentions Defended

Cherry also addressed the controversy surrounding "Euphoria" creator Sam Levinson, who has faced criticism for his portrayal of young women on the show. She defended Levinson, suggesting that his work is a reflection of societal issues rather than an exploitation of them.

"I think Sam is using these young women as a vessel to show how society currently sees young women," Cherry explained, noting that the show holds a mirror up to societal norms and expectations.

Is 'Euphoria' Nearing Its Final Curtain?

As "Euphoria" Season 3 approaches its finale on May 31, rumors swirl that this may be the end of the road for the hit series. Zendaya hinted at this possibility during her appearance on "The Drew Barrymore Show," reflecting on the impact the show has had on her life and career.

"Euphoria cracked my heart open," she expressed. "Rue taught me so much about empathy and redemption. I owe so much to that show."
