Sydney Sweeney’s Euphoria character is making waves in the OnlyFans industry.
In season 3 of Euphoria, Sweeney’s Cassie explores becoming an adult content creator and is seen posing topless while licking an ice cream cone and dressing up as a baby. At one point, she suggested men will pay $50 for a good morning text from her.
Several OnlyFans creators have since weighed in on the character in a statement to Us Weekly, with Alex Paige Moore explaining that the show misrepresented the type of people who join OnlyFans. Moore explained that she feels like creators join the platform as a “last resort” rather than as a manipulation tactic.
“I feel like for a lot of people, whether they’re in the same situation as me or different situations, joining OnlyFans is more of a last resort,” she explained. “It’s not that we’re throwing a tantrum or threatening our partners that we’re going to leave or demanding they give us more money.”

Skylar Mae
Skylar Mae noted that it’s “true” that creators “can make fast money on OnlyFans without showing anything,” noting that “it’s possible that for $50 my subscribers would pay for a message of me saying, ‘Good morning, handsome.’”
“However, for a fan to stay around longer and to continue paying for your content, this probably won’t keep them around for long,” she said. “These subscribers are thinking that by subscribing they will get some explicit content, and for them to get nothing more, that would likely turn off a lot of people.”
Amira Evans
OnlyFans creator Amira Evans pushed back on the idea that the reality is not as simple as Euphoria suggested.
“OnlyFans is NOT a get rich quick scheme,” Evans said in a statement. “People need to know the stigma and risk associated with making an account and putting your content online, the internet is forever.”
Alex Paige Moore
Alex Paige Moore echoed Amira Evans’ take, adding, “It’s not as easy as ‘send a message and make $50’. If it was, everyone would be doing it. Most creators start at $1–2k a month — it takes serious strategy and social media work to build it up.”
Bonnie Locket
Creator Bonnie Locket shared that she feels like OnlyFans is not being accurately represented.
“I think what shows often get wrong is that they lean into the shock factor and sexuality, but miss the business side. Being an OnlyFans creator isn’t just ‘posting sexy content,’ it’s marketing, psychology, branding, consistency, and resilience. It’s closer to running a digital media company than people realise,” she said in a statement.
Locket, however, recognized that the show has gotten the “emotional” side “right,” adding, “There is vulnerability, judgment, and a lot of projection from people watching you.”
Locket noted that OnlyFans being represented in Euphoria is a “positive step,” adding that “there’s been a lot of stigma, and shows like this open up the conversation.”
“That said, it needs to be done responsibly, because a lot of people watching won’t understand the full picture and might assume it’s easy money or purely sexual, when it’s really not,” she said.
Taila Maddison
OnlyFans creator Taila Maddison noted that her job is much more than “just fulfilling kinks” like Euphoria implies.
“There’s definitely a lot more to OnlyFans than just fulfilling kinks. I’d say that’s probably only 20–30% of what my subscribers want and what I do day to day,” she explained. “That said, kinks are one of the more fun aspects to explore. It’s always interesting when someone asks for something and you think, ‘Wow, I’ve never even considered that people would be into that.’”
