The $30 million toe in the water

Alexa Demie, the actress who plays Maddy Perez in Euphoria, has revealed that she feared losing her part in the show if she refused to participate in nude and uncomfortable sex scenes.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, the actress said: 'I thought that if I said no to doing them, then I wouldn't have the part.'

Demie's comments come after her co-star Sydney Sweeney's career could be at risk if she continues shooting racy scenes, experts have warned.

An echo of Sydney's 2024 institutional buy-up

Last year, Sydney starred in erotic psychological thriller The Housemaid, which saw her appear in racy scenes with co-star Brandon Sklenar.

Experts have warned that Sydney's career could be at risk if she continues shooting racy scenes, as she may become 'typecast' as a sexualised character.

Crisis and reputation management expert Dave Quast said: 'Euphoria clearly helped establish Sydney Sweeney as a fearless performer, physically and emotionally, and that's part of why she broke through .'

Who is the unnamed buyer?

Creator Sam Levinson has been criticised by fans for the use of Nazi symbols in the show, as they claimed it had no relevance.

However, Levinson has defended the scenes, saying: 'has got her dog house and her little dog ears and the nose, and that has its own humour, but what makes the scene is the fact that her housekeeper is the one filming it.'
