Just when you thought Euphoria season three couldn’t get any stranger, a video seemingly showing Sydney Sweeney farting on set has been going viral. But you’ll be pleased to know that it’s not real – well, the hot mic part. 

The clip in question is a behind-the-scenes clip showing the Cassie star spread across a sun lounger in a gingham bikini (a nod to her Oklahoma look, perhaps). 

We’ve seen the result of this sequence in the Euphoria season three trailer – it’s an upcoming scene of Maddy helping Cassie create OnlyFans content. 

This behind-the-scenes footage with Sweeney surrounded by cameramen is real. But this week it started doing the rounds with an audio playing over the top, suggesting she was caught in a hot mic moment. 

 

Initially it’s silent, but then a distinct fart sound can be heard, at which point Sweeney turns around to look at her behind. A man can then be heard saying, “Do you need to go to the bathroom, Sweeney?”

The clip has racked up millions of views online, as well as plenty of jokes along the lines of “hot mic cooked”. 

But a source with direct knowledge of the shoot has since told TMZ that while the footage is real, the audio is, of course, fake. 

Alongside the fart saga, the clip has sparked a conversation about the fact that Sweeney can be seen surrounded by a crew of men. 

“Wow, isn’t there a woman in this production for Sydney Sweeney not to be so uncomfortable?” wrote one X user. 

Another agreed, “This is really terrible,” and a third added, “This makes me sick.” 

But not everyone agrees, however, with many viewers saying it’s just work. “Obviously, she doesn’t give a sh*t about that,” wrote one. “She’s just an actress doing her job.”

Another said, “You’re projecting your discomfort onto her.”
