All eyes are on Sydney Sweeney and Homer Gere after their explicit scene in Euphoria<\/a> season three episode seven, but PR experts have warned that the Cassie star may be putting her career at risk.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sweeney is no stranger to controversy<\/a>, whether that be selling her bathwater as part of a viral stunt or being accused of promoting eugenics in her famous American Eagle ad.<\/span><\/p>\n

On screen, the star reprises her most infamous role in Euphoria\u2019s third chapter. Although she\u2019s spoken in the past about working with Sam Levinson to reduce the amount of nudity for her character, season three has arguably done the opposite.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So far, we\u2019ve seen Cassie in a drug-fuelled threesome, as a giantess<\/a> (whose nipples break through glass), doing her best bridezilla impression, and most controversial of all, dressing up as an \u201cadult baby\u201d for her OF followers (which has drawn criticism from real sex workers<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Some fans have said the third chapter is one long \u201chumiliation ritual\u201d, and this week\u2019s episode was no different. It unfolds when Maddy (Alexa Demie) organises a meetup between Cassie and Gere\u2019s Dylan Reid<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The plan is to hook up with him to boost her followers after she deleted her OnlyFans account. When they get to it, the pair are so aggressive that they break the bed and knock a painting off the wall, with a topless Cassie screaming at the top of her lungs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, a series of public relations specialists have weighed in, suggesting Sweeney\u2019s increasingly provocative public image combined with the direction of Cassie\u2019s storyline in Euphoria season three<\/a> could impact her career long term.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking to <\/span>Fox News<\/span><\/a>, crisis and reputation management expert Dave Quast said, \u201cEuphoria clearly helped establish Sydney Sweeney as a fearless performer, physically and emotionally, and that\u2019s part of why she broke through.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe risk is that when the public conversation focuses more on the sexualised aspects of the role than on the performance, the same work that made her seem daring can start to narrow the brand.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

“Sexuality on screen is not inherently unserious. The problem is when it becomes the dominant shorthand for the actor,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor Sweeney, the challenge is not that she has played sexualised roles. The challenge is making sure those roles continue to read as character choices, not as the entire brand proposition.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

From a financial perspective, Sweeney continuing to dominate headlines is a positive thing – right now, she has a reported net worth of $40million. And she’s certainly garnering attention for Euphoria season three.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This show feels more like a humiliation ritual for MAGA poster girl Sydney Sweeney than entertainment<\/p>\n
