While Euphoria has garnered critical acclaim since her co-star Zendaya became the youngest to win an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, she has also been the subject of controversy over reports of long working hours and overly sexualized material.

Sweeney brushed aside those reports, stating, “I have complete confidence in the filmmakers I work with and I always look forward to anything[Euphoria creator]Sam (Levinson) writes.”

She added that she gets so completely lost in the material that she forgets what it’s like behind the scenes, adding, “It’s like it’s someone else’s life.”

“People forget that I’m playing a character, they’re like, ‘Oh, she’s getting naked on screen, she’s a sex symbol,'” Sweeney said.

“And I can’t get over that. I have no issues with these scenes and I won’t stop doing them, but I wish there was an easier way to have an open conversation about what we expect from actors in the industry,” she added.

In the second season of Euphoria, Cassie started dating Nate Jacobs (Jacob Elordi) shortly after he broke up with her best friend Maddie (Alexa Demie).

“He read me the first scene where Cassie and Nate go to the bathroom. And I said, “Oh my god, Sam, you’re a nut,” Sweeney says of Cassie and Nate’s first meeting at a rowdy New Year’s Eve party.

That first episode paved the way for her to continue dating Nate in secret and led to her now infamous bathroom breakdown, which likely secured her an Emmy nomination

“I’m really sorry for Cassie; I’m sorry.” she loses herself so much. But I thrive doing this shit. People talk about how tough this season is, but I love it,” Sweeney added.
