Alexa Demie, 35, said she believed refusing nude scenes in Euphoria’s first season could cost her the role of Maddy Perez, even though no one explicitly threatened her.
One montage of Maddy cheating on Nate Jacobs made her realize the nudity felt wrong, she told The Hollywood Reporter, after which she spoke up and said she never did that again.
Her account lands as Euphoria’s third season faces renewed backlash over graphic sexual material and violent scenes, including moments viewers called unnecessary or disturbing.
Sydney Sweeney has publicly defended creator Sam Levinson, saying the cast would object if they felt uncomfortable, while Levinson has said he deliberately makes punishment scenes horrific and anxiety-inducing.

After production tragedies and feuds, did 'Euphoria's' final season honor its cast or ultimately betray their legacy?
