EXCLUSIVE: 'Euphoria' Sparks Fears It Could Spark 'Trans Killing Sprees' Across World Due to Latest Bondage Scene
Insiders point to disturbing online reactions and rising concern.
Euphoria has ignited a wave of alarm among critics and commentators after a controversial bondage scene in its third season has prompted warnings it could inflame dangerous attitudes and incite real-world harm.
The HBO drama, created by Sam Levinson, has returned with its long-awaited third season – immediately reigniting debate over its graphic storytelling and depiction of young lives pushed to extremes.
The series, starring Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, and transgender woman Hunter Schafer, 27, has long been known for controversial material.
However, the latest episodes have escalated concerns, particularly following a storyline involving Schafer’s character Jules, whose relationship with a wealthy older partner explores an extreme dynamic rooted in control and submission.
