In a recent interview with The Independent, the actress,
who plays Cassie Howard in the HBO series, addressed the backlash to the
number of scenes in which she appears $nked.
She said: “I’ve never felt like [creator] Sam [Levinson] has pushed it on me or was trying to get a $nde scene
into an HBO show. When I didn’t want to do it, he didn’t make me. There are
moments where Cassie was supposed to be $hr!tless and I would tell Sam, ‘I
don’t really think that’s necessary here. He was like, ‘OK, we don’t need
it.'”
As it turns out, this may
be the first project the 24-year-old feels empowered to speak up and voice an
opinion. “I’ve had experiences,” she detailed, “where I want to
go home and scrub myself completely raw because I feel disgusting.”
And while Sydney is
willing to appear $nde, she does believe that those moments overshadow her talent.
She said: “This is something that has bothered me for a while. I’m very
proud of my work in Euphoria. I thought it was a great performance.
But no one talks about it because I got $nked. I do The White Lotus and all of a
sudden critics are paying attention. People are loving me. They’re going, ‘Oh my
God, what’s she doing next?’ I was like, ‘Did you not see that in Euphoria?
Did you not see that in The Handmaid’s Tale?'”
She added: “There’s a stigma against actresses who get $nked on
screen. When a guy has a x scene or shows his body, he still wins awards and
gets praise. But the moment a girl does it, it’s completely different.”
Why!!
