Maitland Ward Criticizes ‘Euphoria’ for Misrepresenting OnlyFans Creators

Maitland Ward, a former Disney star, has expressed her discontent with Sydney Sweeney’s portrayal of an OnlyFans model in the third season of Euphoria. In an interview with TMZ, Ward, who is now an adult film actress and OnlyFans creator, criticized the character Cassie’s behavior on the platform. She highlighted scenes where Cassie is seen with a pacifier, pigtails, and sheer clothing, which Ward found inappropriate and against OnlyFans guidelines.

Ward stated, “There’s all sorts of stuff that you can’t do. The whole child-baby thing is so disgusting. You just can’t go into that whole underage thing like that.” She emphasized the importance of not associating pedophilia with pornography, noting that violations can lead to being banned from OnlyFans.

You don’t want pedophilia anywhere near pornography.

The latest season of Euphoria depicts Cassie, Sweeney’s character, turning to OnlyFans for financial reasons. The storyline includes scenes where Cassie dresses as a dog, drinks from a doggy bowl, and performs for her subscribers in a revealing outfit. Ward feels the show mocks OnlyFans creators instead of recognizing their hard work.

Ward commented to Fox News Digital that the show portrays sex work as a circus act. She said, “Sydney Sweeney’s portrayal sets sex workers back by making a mockery of their lives.” She criticized the use of stereotypes, such as the blonde character posing as a dog, and argued that these portrayals reinforce negative misconceptions about sex workers.

The former Boy Meets World star has shared her own experiences in Hollywood, reflecting on her time as a young actress. She described feeling treated like a product by studios. Ward now finds more respect in her career as an adult film actress, telling Fox News Digital that she has received unexpected positivity from the industry.

Maitland Ward began her adult film career about seven years ago and has noted how the transition brought her more professional respect. Despite initial expectations of criticism, she was met with positive feedback from those around her.
