Kelly Slams Euphoria's 'Sexy Baby' Promotion
15 Apr
Summary
- Megyn Kelly criticized Euphoria's season three promotions.
- The teasers feature Sydney Sweeney dressed as a baby.
- Kelly called the imagery "sexualizing infancy" and "sick."
Megyn Kelly has voiced strong disapproval regarding promotional content for the upcoming third season of HBO's "Euphoria." The teasers highlight Sydney Sweeney's character, Cassie, who is reportedly pursuing a career as a content creator and OnlyFans model. Specific clips show Sweeney's character in baby attire, complete with a pacifier, with her legs spread, which Kelly denounced as "sexualizing infancy."
On "The Megyn Kelly Show," the host expressed disbelief and concern, describing the imagery as "sick." Kelly also targeted "Euphoria" creator Sam Levinson, citing reports that he frequently injects nudity into scenes, sometimes against the actresses' requests. Kelly suggested this pattern indicates a problematic approach to depicting female characters, especially given the actresses' desire to become stars.
Kelly's remarks come after she previously supported Sweeney amid backlash for an American Eagle ad. The "Euphoria" cast for season three includes Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, Maude Apatow, Alexa Demie, and Hunter Schaefer. The series airs on Sundays on HBO.
