Sydney Sweeney Breaks Silence On Possibly Joining OnlyFans
Sydney Sweeney is making one thing clear: just because her “Euphoria” character turned to OnlyFans does not mean she would make the same choice herself. The actress recently opened up about Cassie Howard’s controversial season three storyline, which saw the fan-favorite character launch an OF account, sparking intense debate among viewers and backlash online. Some fans even criticized the plotline as a “humiliation ritual,” accusing the HBO series of taking Cassie in an unnecessarily sexualized direction.
Speaking with Vanity Fair, Sweeney explained that while she’s fully committed to Cassie’s storyline, she does not personally agree with many of the character’s decisions.
Discussing conversations with “Euphoria” creator Sam Levinson, Sweeney revealed the filmmaker shared the scripts with her ahead of filming and made sure to discuss the direction of Cassie’s arc. “He sent me all the scripts, and it already had all of Cassie’s scenes in it, the OnlyFans scenes, and he called me afterward, and he was talking about it, and we were talking through it all,” Sweeney explained.
Levinson also reportedly checked in to see how she felt about the storyline before moving forward. “He asked me how I felt about it, and I told him, ‘Look, I’m playing a character,’” Sweeney said. “Do I agree with all of Cassie’s decisions? Would I personally make these choices? No, of course not.”
Still, the actress made clear she views the role through the lens of performance. “But I’m an actor and that’s my job and this is Cassie’s life and to be able to do her justice and play her how she’s to be played is to bring Sam’s vision to life and to play Cassie in the most vulnerable and insane way possible,” she added.
Why Sweeney Thinks Cassie Turned To OF
While some viewers questioned the dramatic turn in Cassie’s story, Sweeney said the character’s emotional journey made sense to her. “From the very beginning, you can see that Cassie has this need to be loved,” the actress explained. “She has a need to be validated by other people. She doesn’t know how to love herself unless someone else loves her.”
Sweeney added that she understood how Levinson ultimately brought Cassie to her season three breaking point. “I think she was more excited by the idea of all these people loving her and knowing who she is and feeling like her world isn’t small,” she said.
Sam Levinson Says Sydney Sweeney Pushed Back On Less Nudity
Sweeney’s comments come just days after Levinson addressed backlash surrounding Cassie’s highly sexualized storyline.
During an appearance on The New York Times’ “Popcast,” Levinson revealed he initially considered toning down the nudity in season three and finding ways to shoot around some of Cassie’s more revealing scenes. “Well, it’s funny. When I first wrote it, I thought, ‘Well, maybe we shoot all of this and we don’t have any nudity,’” Levinson recalled. “Maybe there’s ways to shoot around certain things?”
But according to the writer and director, Sweeney was not interested in softening the reality of portraying an OnlyFans creator. “She looked at me, and she was like, ‘Are you kidding? It’s like, I’m playing an OnlyFans model. You’re telling me you’re going to, like, skirt around it?’”
Levinson admitted Sweeney changed his perspective. “And I was like, ‘Yeah, OK, it’s a fair point,’” he said, adding, “So there’s always a discussion of what works best for the character.”
He later praised Sweeney as a “totally fearless actor” who is “wonderfully professional” and always “show[ed] up game every day.”
Sweeney Clapped Back At Critics Of Her Raunchy Scenes
Ahead of the “Euphoria” finale, Sweeney also appeared to respond directly to criticism over the show’s increasingly explicit scenes. The actress shared behind-the-scenes photos from filming, including images from Cassie’s provocative performances, and seemed to shut down critics questioning the storyline.
In one Instagram Stories post, Sweeney shared a snap from a pole-dancing scene and wrote a simple message aimed at critics: “It’s called… acting.”
Experts Warn Sydney Sweeney Could Risk Being Typecast
Despite praise for her performance, some industry experts have warned that Sweeney could face long-term challenges if sexualized roles begin dominating public perception of her career. Speaking to Fox News, crisis and reputation management expert Dave Quast suggested the actress may need to carefully balance future projects.
“’Euphoria’ clearly helped establish Sydney Sweeney as a fearless performer, physically and emotionally, and that’s part of why she broke through,” Quast said. However, he warned that repeated attention on her most provocative scenes could begin overshadowing her work.
“The risk is that when the public conversation focuses more on the sexualized aspects of the role than on the performance, the same work that made her seem daring can start to narrow the brand,” he explained. “Sexuality on screen is not inherently unserious. The problem is when it becomes the dominant shorthand for the actor.”

Emmy Rossum has revealed the reason she walked away from the “Shameless” set almost a decade ago.
The actress recently shed light on her decision to leave the series even after being bumped up the pay grade. In the process, she cleared the air on the widely publicized misconceptions surrounding her exit from the Showtime drama series.
While Emmy Rossum moved on to the next chapter of her life, the dynamic for the rest of the cast shifted as they filmed two more seasons without her.
Rossum disclosed why her decision to leave “Shameless” could not be changed despite being offered “very life-changing money” to continue the show. She revealed that she already had a mental picture for the next chapter of her life and there was “no number” that could persuade her to give up her dreams.
“I really felt like, when they came and asked for the last contract extension, that I couldn’t do it. There was no number that was going to make me want to stray from my goal. I’ve never really been motivated by money,” she explained.
The industry star had been on the Showtime series for nine seasons before saying goodbye to her onscreen family. She explained that she never expected the pilot to be picked up or that the series would become a long-running hit.
Rossum admits that she was “amazed” every time another contract extension came up. After being on the show so long, the actress wanted more for her career, and this forged her decision to leave the show in 2018.
What Was The Actress Looking To Achieve Off The Drama Series?
During her recent conversation with Alex Cooper on her “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Rossum explained that she felt she had more to achieve in the industry as an executive on projects.
“I really felt that my desire to make something that I had built was very strong,” she disclosed, adding, “It was very bittersweet when I left, but I really felt galvanized to make things.”
Before her final episode aired, Rossum had already started aligning her plans for the future with preparations to wrap things up on “Shameless.” She began developing projects through her production company, Composition 8, and had set up a deal at Universal for a limited series.
The Hollywood icon worked on and later starred in the Peacock limited series “Angelyne” as well as being a star and executive producer for Hulu’s crime thriller “Furious” down the line.
Watching Executive producer John Wells and her husband, Sam Esmail, build projects from scratch for years, Rossum knew she was ready to walk that path and take greater ownership of her career.
Emmy Rossum Was In A Years-Long Battle For Equal Pay On The Show
“Shameless” stars Hollywood veteran William H. Macy as Frank Gallagher while Rossum played his daughter, Fiona, who held the home front down due to Frank’s alcoholism. The actress explained on the podcast that when the show initially began, it made a lot of sense for Macy to earn a lot more money than she did.
However, as time went on, her character became a major on the show, and she became Macy’s co-lead. With time, some fans even argued that Rossum was “Shameless” bona fide lead as her character, Fiona, had more screen time than Frank in many episodes.
The first time the actress advocated to be paid more was for season 3, because her team felt there were enough “receipts” and “fan engagement” on her side, but she was instantly denied. This went on for five more years; Rossum’s team fought for increased pay over five years of filming the show.
Executives only gave in to her requests after news of her pay dispute went public in late 2016. To her utmost surprise, the matter, which had stretched out for years, was resolved within a day. Rossum enjoyed equal pay for her last two seasons on “Shameless.”
The Actress‘s Presence And Absence Were Felt On Set
The series was not the same after Rossum’s exit. Just as the viewers felt the change, members of the cast, most of whom grew up on the show, could not shrug off her impact. One of the iconic actresses, Emma Kenney, who plays Rossum’s younger sister, Debbie Gallagher, on the TV show, explained the change they felt after her departure.
Kenney started the show at just nine years old and was in her 20s when they wrapped up. She revealed that she and Rossum had a sisterly relationship off-screen as well. Kenney admitted that when the “Furious” star left, things were “weird at first.”
As reported by The Blast, there was also a switch in the vibe and “the set became more of a positive place.” “I’d go to set some days, and I’d be very anxious having a scene with her because if she had a bad day, she made it a bad day for everybody,” Kenney said of her co-star during a 2021 podcast.
Emmy Rossum Got Candid About Motherhood
There were rampant speculations that Rossum left the Showtime drama series to start a family, seemingly due to the overlapping timeline of her exit and welcoming her daughter. The actress has moved to shut down those claims, tagging them as “misconceptions.”
Motherhood became part of Rossum’s life after “Shameless.” She welcomed a daughter in 2021 and a son two years later with her husband, Esmail.
The industry star keeps her kids out of the spotlight and has not even revealed their names publicly; however, she is quite vocal about her journey into motherhood and the challenges of combining a busy career with being a mom.
In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Rossum shared important lessons she is teaching her children. She explained the power of internal dialogue, adding that while she would remain her kids’ best friends, she wants them “to have each other and be their own best friend” when she is not there.
Keep chasing those dreams, Emmy Rossum!
Mellow Rackz shared some new ink with her fans on Monday, July 27, and the back tattoos feature the name and face of rapper NBA YoungBoy. The 24-year-old shared the video just before she joined the rapper’s livestream.

When she does expose them, I get very emotional,” he added, “‘Bout time she got some sense, whoopty whoopty woo.’ What the f*** are you talking about?”
Fans React To Mellow Rackz’ Back Tattoos
Fan reactions were unfiltered as folks noted that the rapper is still married to YouTube star Jazlyn Mychelle, with whom he shares three children, per The Los Angeles Times. The rapper recently upgraded his wife’s wedding ring, and Mychelle showed off the mega diamond on YouTube just last February.

Khloé Kardashian has a touching birthday message for ex Tristan Thompson‘s younger brother, Amari.
“Happy Birthday sweet Amari ♥️,” the Kardashians star, 42, wrote via Instagram on Monday, July 27, alongside several throwback photos. “Some people change the world with their words. You change it simply by being you. Your heart, your spirit, and your light say everything that words never could.”
Kardashian’s post included multiple snaps of her, Amari and Thompson over the years from countless family gatherings. (Kardashian and Thompson, 34, dated on-and-off from 2016 to 2021 and share daughter True and son Tatum.)
“You are one of God’s gentlest reminders of what truly matters. Everyone who knows you is better because of you,” she continued. “Thank you for reminding us every single day how we should be so completely grateful for the smallest of things and what unconditional love, joy, grace, resilience, and gratitude truly look like. We love you more than you’ll ever know. Happy 20th Birthday, our sweet angel.”
Khloé Kardashian split with Tristan Thompson in 2021, but she has remained a part of his brother Amari’s life in the years since. Amari, 19, suffers from Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a form of epilepsy that prevents him from being able to walk and talk. Kardashian, 41, grew close to him and the rest of Tristan’s family […]
While Kardashian and Thompson called it quits for good in 2021, the reality star has remained close with the basketball player and his younger brother. Amari is nonverbal and suffers from Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and epilepsy.
Kardashian’s mom, Kris Jenner, also gave Amari a sweet shout-out on his birthday.
“Happy 20th birthday to our sweet angel boy, Amari!🤍 You are such a blessing to our family and bring so much love, joy, and light into our lives,” Jenner, 70, wrote via Instagram. “Your sweet spirit reminds us every day what really matters. I am so grateful for all of the special moments we share together and I love you so much. Happy Birthday Amari. 🤍🎂 Lovey Xo.”
Following the death of their mother in 2023, Thompson was granted legal guardianship of his sibling. During that time, Kardashian stepped in to serve as a helping hand to her ex as he balanced taking care of Amari full-time alongside his basketball career. (Thompson, who has played for multiple NBA teams, retired in 2025 after a final stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers, who drafted him back in 2011.)
Khloé Kardashian is not here for any mean-spirited remarks about her ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson’s 19-year-old brother, Amari. “Last time I posted Amari in his dance class, I heard some ridiculous commentary about how, ‘How is this dance? Does he even know what’s going on?’” Kardashian, 41, said in a video posted to her Instagram Stories […]
“Tristan’s mom passed away a few years ago, we — me, Tristan, my whole family — took Amari back with us to the [United] States,” Kardashian said on a July 2025 episode of her eponymous podcast. “Tristan is in the NBA and he is in a different state, literally, every other day or every few days, and it’s just not conducive for Amari to be on that many planes.”
Kardashian added that she has a lot of love for Amari and considers him to be part of her family.
“California weather is so good for Amari, and I just love having Amari be a part of my family,” she explained, noting that she also employs two caretakers to help her. “We just want to provide Amari with the best, most beautiful life that we know how. And he deserves that.”
John Cena found a solution to bring that hairline back, and he will not stop talking about it!
The WWE icon has gone to really great lengths to proffer lasting solutions to his hair loss, with each of his two surgeries taking about 20 hours, but he has no reservations about this medical breakthrough.
John Cena earlier disclosed that he was pushed to finally do something about his bald spot because his fans, who watched him take over the world in wrestling rings, would not stop bullying him about it.
The actor got candid with PEOPLE at the San Diego Comic Con on July 25 about the latest cosmetic adventure he has embarked on. After going on two trips to the surgery room for hair transplants, Cena declared that he feels really great amid everything.
He stated that the grand objective behind the procedures is to make sure he gets more hair, and his doctor, Ken Anderson, is right on top of that situation. Cena revealed that the results that followed the first procedure impressed him so much that he returned to the Anderson Center for Hair in Georgia 15 months later for a follow-up.
There, he communicated his observation about the progress, and his doctor advised him to consider a clean shave so they could keep the follicles. By shaving his head, Anderson will be able to plant more hair follicles.
“My first operation was 13 and a half hours. The second one was eight hours. And I’m rocking this hair thing with the promise that he’s working. I have full trust and faith in him with this process,” he added.
The Former WWE Champion Has One Regret About His Hair Restoration Journey
Speaking on the process that led him to this point, the retired wrestler declared that he initially hesitated because of the stigma that often came with cosmetic procedures.
As shared by The Blast, Cena noted that if there were not so much shame around it, he would have gone in for a hair transplant a decade ago. He now realizes it is not a complicated surgery; it just involves taking hair from one part to fill the bald spot.
The actor continued that he went in for the surgery in 2024, but he remained bald for about four months after that, and the fans who would not stop spotlighting his baldness did not make that waiting period any pleasant.
Cena currently maintains a strict scalp health routine involving red light therapy, minoxidil, vitamins, and specialized shampoos as part of his hair care.
John Cena Revealed The Unexpected Reason He Finally Got a Hair Transplant
Talk about tough love, Cena and his fans strangely shared that over his hair journey. The actor gave credit to his wrestling and acting admirers who relentlessly had the most to say about his thinning hair with endless chants that ultimately pushed him to take action.
The WWE legend revealed that he initially tried to block out the noise by ignoring the comments, but seeing fans repeatedly call attention to the thinning area on his scalp made him reconsider.
Rather than taking offense, the wrestler began researching hair and scalp health, leading him to consider a hair transplant as the most viable option.
Describing the comments from his fans, the movie star compared them to the kind of honesty expected from a close friend, where they spot something embarrassing so the other party can fix it.
The 49-Year-Old Thanked His Critics For Turning His Pain Into Motivation
On “The Pat McAfee Show” during the WWE World Fan Experience in Las Vegas in 2025, The Blast shared that Cena sarcastically appreciated his critics for setting him on the path to restoration and relief. He also reminded his fans that his hair loss was genetic and beyond his control, adding that it has been a difficult process.
Cena emphasized that for newer hair to grow, the old hair must shed, but people could have addressed his appearance in kinder ways instead of turning it into a spectacle during matches.
When the actor is not urging critics to pay less attention to his looks, he is making kids’ wishes come true via the Make-A-Wish Foundation, where he beat his previous record of 500 wishes in 2022.
From granting wishes revolving around wrestling tickets, championship belts, high fives, and hospital visits to fans, Cena continues to set high trends. Cena joined the organization in 2004, after it struck a cord in his heart to help the foundation grant life-changing wishes for children with critical illness.
John Cena Is Make-A-Wish Most Requested Celebrity By Children
The WWE star had confessed to ESPN in 2022 after crossing his milestone mark that it gladdened his heart to drop whatever he was doing to make the dream of one or many kids come true whenever the situation required it.
As at that year, the star had become the most sought-after celebrity at the foundation, while existing in a league of his own by passing the 650th mark, although no celebrity has crossed the 200 wishes mark. The wrestler became a part of the organization just two years after his WWE debut, following in the footsteps of wrestlers like Hulk Hogan who began the tradition in the early 1980s.
Cena had stated in previous interviews that his main objective for joining the foundation was to give children a lasting experience because he does not want them and their families to feel like they are up against something monumental.
The whole world is itching to see John Cena’s transformation when it is done!

Kyla Pratt, known for her role on Disney’s “The Proud Family,” recently opened up about her “unspoken bond” with Raven-Symoné. During an interview, Pratt reflected on her iconic character, Penny Proud, and recalled starring alongside Symoné and Eddie Murphy in the late-’90s film “Dr. Dolittle.” Elsewhere in the interview, Pratt also shared how proud she is of Symoné, praising the impact the now-40-year-old has had on the network.
While speaking with PEOPLE, Pratt wasted no time praising Symoné for her impact on the Disney Channel, mentioning her steady presence on the network for the last two decades.
“When I think of Disney, I think of Raven-Symoné,” Pratt said. “I was fortunate enough to be her sister in Dr. Dolittle, and, for me, Raven was the face of Disney.”
While Pratt voiced Penny Proud in “The Proud Family” and “The Proud Family Movie,” Symoné appeared in “That’s So Raven,” “The Cheetah Girls,” and the 2017 spin-off, “Raven’s Home.” In addition, Symoné appeared in several other Disney Channel series and movies, including “Hannah Montana” and “KC Undercover.”
Kyla Pratt Reveals Why It Was Important To See Raven-Symoné Leading Her Own Show
While Pratt had a lead role in her own Disney Channel series, the “One on One” actress pointed to the impact Symoné had on an entire community of viewers.
“For me, seeing a young black woman navigate that space and become a director and producer and writer,” Pratt said. “I would say we have an unspoken bond, so whenever I see her or see her doing anything, I support it and I’m just happy that she’s living how she’s living.”
Kyla Pratt Says ‘Black Representation’ Is Everything
Pratt and Symoné weren’t the only young, Black actresses leading sitcoms for major networks. Keke Palmer starred in Nickelodeon’s “True Jackson, VP,” and Zendaya appeared in “Shake It Up” and “KC Undercover.”
Pratt then explained why it’s important to see women like her on the small and big screen. “I think Black representation is everything. I’m a strong advocate for mental health, and I believe once you’re able to see yourself, you’re able to feel not alone,” she said.
She continued, “And a lot of times, our stories weren’t meant to be told. Back in the day, it was like, ‘Hey, blonde hair, blue eyes, that’s what’s beautiful.’ And if that’s all you saw, of course you’re going to compare yourself to that.”
Pratt said representation in film and television is more meaningful than many people realize, especially for children growing up. “It’s enough to make you feel like, OK, I’m not alone in this world,” she said.
Pratt Talks About The Nostalgia Of Voicing Penny Proud
During a previous interview with PEOPLE, Pratt reflected on voicing Penny Proud and the Disney+ revival series, “Louder and Prouder.” She expressed her gratitude for the show’s return and reflected on what it has meant to have the beloved character in her life for the past 20 years.
“The vibe when I am stepping into the booth to be Penny Proud is always amazing. It’s complete nostalgia,” she said. “I was talking to my kids earlier this week about getting older and how you can still stay a kid inside, and I’ve had the pleasure of being able to do that.”
Pratt said that being able to still portray Penny Proud allows her to “connect” to her younger self. “So for me, every time I step into the booth it just feels amazing, and then you realize these things don’t last forever, you take it in a little bit more,” she said.
Symoné Is Headed Back To Disney With A Fourth Movie In This Iconic Franchise
And speaking of revivals, Symoné is making a Disney comeback in 2027 when she appears alongside Adrienne Bailon in the fourth “Cheetah Girls” movie dubbed “Next Gen.”
According to The Blast, the movie will follow Symoné and Bailon’s characters traveling to Africa to help save a wildlife sanctuary with a younger group of aspiring singers.
“The Cheetah Girls has always been about friendship, music, and empowering young people to use their voice,” said Ayo Davis, president, Disney Kids & Family. “That spirit connected deeply with a generation of fans, and it still resonates today. Bringing this dynamic new group of young stars to the franchise allows us to continue that legacy for a new era of kids and families.”
