The 'Euphoria' star opened up to 'The Sun' about how being sexualized as a child after she developed early has continued into her acting career.

Actress Sydney Sweeney opened up about her struggle with body acceptance at an early age in an interview with the Sun.

The 25-year-old starlet from Spokane, Washington recalled being scrutinized shortly after having played the role of Cassie Howard in HBO's Euphoria, also starring Zendaya.


In school, Sweeney said she was body-shamed for early development.

“I had boobs before other girls, and I felt ostracized for it," she recalled.

The criticism continued into her acting career.

Her Euphoria character, who is haunted by her sexual history, had nude scenes in the show, which was the subject of a plotline where her naked videos were being shared in school.

Unfortunately, the situation mirrored real life when trolls shared screenshots of many of her suggestive scenes from the show.

Sweeney said:

“You have a character that goes through the scrutiny of being a sexualised person at school and then an audience that does the same thing."
"I think it’s ridiculous. I’m an artist, I play characters. It makes me want to play characters that p**s people off more.”

She said she felt that her skills and talent were diminished by those who focused more on her physical features.

“I have big boobs, I’m blonde, and that’s all I have,” quoted Sweeney of those who credited her Hollywood successes to her physical attributes.

Here are examples of unsympathetic trolls responding to the actress opening up about a vulnerable topic.





Other social media users defended Sweeney.

Those who found her experience relatable also weighed in and said Sweeney had every right to be candid on the topic of body image and how it affected her.









Sweeney began her career with guest spots in TV shows like 90210 and Grey's Anatomy.

She gained further attention after landing starring roles in shows like Everything Sucks! (2018), The Handmaid's Tale (2018), and Sharp Objects (2018).

The actress earned two Primetime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actress–one for her work as Cassie Howard in HBO's Euphoria and another for playing a sardonic teen in the first season of White Lotus, also from HBO.

Nothing seems to get conservatives' goats quite like celebrities having political opinions—well, liberal and leftist celebrities, anyway.

They seem to love it when weird right-wing celebs like Kevin Sorbo get on the internet and say bizarre, usually counterfactual nonsense, or when JK Rowling does her darnedest to make her legacy not about Harry Potter but about her weird obsession with trans people.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
