Euphoria'S Chloe Cherry Takes Aim At Sydney Sweeney'S Bold Cassie Storyline

Cassie's New Adventure: From High School to OnlyFans

The latest season of HBO's Euphoria has taken its characters on a wild ride out of high school and into adulthood, with a significant five-year leap into the future. One character, Cassie, portrayed by Sydney Sweeney, has stepped into a new venture that has raised eyebrows – starting an OnlyFans account. This plot twist has sparked discussions both on and off the screen, especially given the show's willingness to push boundaries.

This week's episode packed a punch, showing Cassie nearly baring it all as she posed for a variety of provocative shots. While this storyline might be fiction for Sweeney, it strikes a chord with Chloe Cherry, who brings Faye Valentine to life on the show. Cherry, a former adult film star, finds the storyline particularly resonant, given her own past experiences.

“Like holy sh*t, that’s where we’re at in society?” Cherry commented, expressing her disbelief at how society has evolved to this point.

Chloe Cherry's Critique: More Than Just a Plotline

Chloe Cherry didn't hold back when discussing Cassie's new career path. In an interview with Refinery 29, she candidly described it as 'crazy as f**k' to see a character like Cassie turning to sex work. Cherry's insights are rooted in her own background, having worked in the adult industry herself before transitioning to mainstream roles.

Cherry continued to criticize the normalization of OnlyFans and similar platforms, attributing their rise to economic pressures rather than true empowerment. She remarked, “The economy is horrible, that’s why people are turning to it. I really think OnlyFans is like a crazy, weird phenomenon in the 2020s [that] we’ll look back on and be very confused by.”

A Glimpse into the Future: Cherry's Career Advice

Having participated in a unique journey from adult film star to a character on Euphoria, Cherry offers a word of caution for those considering a similar path. She has previously advised against entering the adult industry if the goal is to transition to other forms of entertainment, such as film or TV.

In a conversation with Out Magazine, Cherry emphasized the long-lasting label that comes with such a career choice: “If you're OK with being seen as a porn star for the rest of your life, that is the only reason that you should enter the adult entertainment industry... never to do other things.” Her advice is clear for aspiring actors looking to make a name beyond the confines of adult entertainment.
