- Maitland Ward is slamming the "baby role play" OnlyFans content created by Sydney Sweeney's character on *Euphoria*.

- "The way it was handled was so gross and it's just disgusting and vile," said the former *Boy Meets World* actress-turned-pornographic model.

- This season on the HBO series, Cassie (Sweeney) turns to OnlyFans to pay for her wedding to Nate (Jacob Elordi).

*Euphoria* is known for pushing boundaries, but the HBO series has gone too far with its OnlyFans storyline, according to Maitland Ward.

In the season 3 premiere, Sydney Sweeney’s character Cassie began moonlighting as an OnlyFans erotic model to pay for her wedding to Nate (Jacob Elordi). The newlyweds subsequently split and she returned to the platform, escalating the shock value of her titillating content the past few episodes.

In one scene, Sweeney is dressed as a baby with pigtails and a pacifier — wearing a sheer dress and sitting spread eagle for the camera.

That is a direct violation of OnlyFans guidelines, insists Ward, a pornographic film star and model who earns six figures a month on the platform.

"There's all sorts of stuff that you can't do," the former *Boy Meets World* actress explained in a TMZ interview. "The whole child-baby thing is so disgusting… You just can't go into that whole underage thing like that. I mean, you can do it to an extent if it's very, very playful, like, you're an adult being childlike or something. But just the way it was handled was so gross and it's just disgusting and vile."

In fact, she believes disturbing content like this invites people with bad intentions. "You don't want pedophilia anywhere near pornography," she told *TMZ Live* hosts Harvey Levin and Charles Latibeaudiere.

Ward also takes offense to the notion that Cassie's *Euphoria* storyline is meant to celebrate real-life OnlyFans content creators. The character's "crazy stunts," like dressing up as a dog and drinking from a water bowl, "is making fun of OnlyFans creators."

"It's saying how weird and creepy they are," insisted Maitland. "There's so many creators who are really working hard to build their brands every day, and this is really disingenuous."

Maitland is not the only adult-content creator voicing concerns over how Cassie's OnlyFans era is depicted by Sweeney on *Euphoria*.

"There's just a lot that's ridiculous and cartoonish about it," Sydney Leathers told *Variety*. "There's so much that they have her doing that is not even *allowed* on OnlyFans, and that alone is infuriating: the age-play stuff where she's dressed as a baby in a diaper, for example. Credit card processors have very strict rules that you have to abide by, and the rules are getting stricter all the time."
