Megyn Kelly Condemns Euphoria Promo Showing Sydney Sweeney in 'Baby' Imagery

Her on-air denunciation crystallizes growing unease with HBO’s baby-themed teaser.

Overview

  • Kelly, on Tuesday’s episode of her SiriusXM show, called the Season 3 clip “sexualizing infancy” and said she was stunned Sweeney agreed to appear in it.
  • The promo features Sweeney’s character, Cassie, doing content-creator work and posing in baby attire with a pacifier in a sexualized setup.
  • Kelly also targeted creator Sam Levinson, calling him “sick” and alleging he adds needless nudity, citing reports of actresses resisting such scenes.
  • In a 2022 interview, Sweeney said she asked for fewer nude moments in Season 2 and said Levinson accepted her requests without pressuring her.
  • Levinson has described the baby-themed sequence as an absurdist device meant to “break the wall,” and the reports cite no new response from HBO or Sweeney.
