Megyn Kelly Critiques Sydney Sweeney’s “Euphoria” Scene
Commentator Megyn Kelly expressed her discontent after watching a clip from the latest season of “Euphoria” featuring actress Sydney Sweeney. In the scene, Sweeney is seen in a childish outfit, posing in a way that some might find sexualized.
The storyline follows a woman who opens an OnlyFans account to fund her wedding, only to end up dressing like a baby to cater to her clients’ unusual preferences.
Kelly reacted strongly, stating, “Most normal people would cringe at the inherent sexualization of children.” She was taken aback by both the content of the scene and the public’s response to it.
“She’s dressed like a baby! She’s wearing baby clothes. She’s sucking on a pacifier and her legs are spread wide apart,” Kelly commented during a segment on her show. “You can laugh at how shocked I was, but really, this is about sexualizing childhood. That’s exactly what this is. And when some people say, ‘This is a common issue,’ I can’t help but ask—what does it even mean to be excited about a baby?”
Kelly further added, “It feels like there’s an effort to lower our defenses against what is arguably the most egregious crime imaginable.” She couldn’t comprehend why Sweeney would agree to participate in such a scene.
“This is just another instance of Hollywood missing the mark on boundaries,” Kelly said. “How would most people react? They’d be horrified.” She also took the opportunity to criticize the show’s creator, Sam Levinson, for including unnecessary nudity in other scenes, remarking, “He always seems to want women to disrobe in moments that don’t necessitate it.”
Kelly continued, implying that while many actresses strive for stardom without hesitation, those who do voice their concerns are essentially hinting at deeper issues within the industry.
Interestingly, Sweeney caught attention from conservative audiences after her appearance in an American Eagle ad drew backlash from left-leaning critics on social media. The actress took the accusations of promoting fascism lightly, finding humor in the intensity of the reactions.
