Sydney Sweeney Spills Beans on How Things Change For Cassie in 'Unhinged' Euphoria Season 3: 'She is Crazy...'
Sydney Sweeney is all set to hit the screens again. The actress will reprise her role as Cassie in the new season of Euphoria, alongside the cast members, including Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, and more. Opening up about the upcoming season, the Anyone But You star revealed that it will be completely 'unhinged.'
In conversation with Empire Magazine, the movie star shared that Cassie has never been happier than in season 3. Apart from being happy, the actress revealed that her character has never been crazier either.
While sitting down for an interview with the media outlet, Sweeney shared, 'I have such a spot in my heart for Cassie, and I hold her really close and dear.'
The actress further added, 'She is crazy. She makes so many mistakes. She's flawed on so many levels, but she does it all from a place of love. It could be a sad version of love as well. It's so much fun to play a character who is as crazy as she is. Sam [Levinson] is such a brilliant filmmaker to work with, because I'll read something, then I'll call him, and I'm like, 'Let's go crazier.' And he's like, 'I'm all in.' And this season is unhinged.'
The makers of the show confirmed that the show entered production in January this year. Moreover, all of the cast members will be returning in the new bunch of episodes.
Euphoria went on to reveal its dark storyline in the second season, where the audience was also introduced to Cassie's secret tryst with Maxie's abusive boyfriend, Nate.
Apart from Euphoria, Sweeney also completed her shooting for an untitled biopic of Christy Martin.
The new season of Euphoria will hit the digital screens by the end of 2025 or early 2026.

Sean ‘Diddy' Combs' evidence files reveal a photo of two bikini-clad mega icons, and it's not the Kardashians
Sean 'Diddy' Combs' evidence files reportedly contained a black-and-white photograph of two mega-female icons in bikinis. Can you guess the name? Rihanna and Serena Williams' names surfaced in a court filing submitted by Combs' defence team, per the Daily Mail. The image, believed to be taken in 2012, shows Rihanna and Williams lying on a bed in bikinis beneath a mirrored ceiling. A third woman, reportedly Capricorn Clark, Diddy's former assistant, lies beside them. ALSO READ| R&B singer Cassie gives birth to third child as Sean 'Diddy' Combs sex trafficking trial continues Clark testified earlier this week that she was fired during a vacation with Rihanna around that same time. The image, submitted to the court and reported by the Daily Mail, was allegedly sent to Diddy by his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura during a long text exchange. While there has been no suggestion that Rihanna or Serena were involved in any of the troubling allegations against Combs, or in any 'freak-offs.' The defence included the photo among dozens of messages and images aiming to portray Cassie as a willing participant in what they call an 'intense, unorthodox romance.' One message from Cassie reads, 'Going to FO [Freak-Off] on Tuesday!! These are all the things that I need Pop Pop to be with me at. Lol.' But prosecutors argue the opposite, that Cassie was emotionally manipulated and coerced into participating in sex acts over their 11-year relationship. She, however, testified feeling forced to comply with what she called 'hundreds' of group sex encounters, or 'freak-offs,' just to keep the peace. 'I just want it to be uncontrollable,' she texted Combs at one point. Another message reads, 'I want it to be the first time for the rest of our lives.' Combs' team pointed to flirtatious texts to challenge Cassie's claims, including messages like, 'I miss our love sessions in the afternoon.' But Cassie told the court these didn't reflect how she truly felt. 'There's a lot we skipped over,' she said quietly.

Meanwhile, the disgraced music mogul remains in custody and could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted. The trial is expected to continue into June.

Stylist says Cassie confided that Sean 'Diddy' Combs pressured her into sex marathons
NEW YORK — The singer Cassie was content celebrating her 29th birthday with drinks, drugs and karaoke with friends, but her boyfriend, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, had a different idea. The hip-hop mogul insisted on taking Cassie, his R&B protégé, to a Los Angeles hotel for another of his 'freak-off' sex marathons, her friend and former stylist testified Wednesday at Combs' federal sex trafficking trial. Deonte Nash told jurors that he saw the temperamental Combs berating Cassie as she pleaded for him to let her enjoy her birthday on her own terms. Later that night, Nash said, Cassie told the stylist, 'I don't want to freak-off," but that she had to because Combs was making her. Nash testified that the 2015 conversation was one of several times Cassie, whose real name is Casandra Ventura, confided to him that she didn't want to engage in Combs' drug-fueled hotel encounters. Earlier in the trial, Cassie testified that these often involved Combs watching, directing and sometimes filming her as she had sex with a male sex worker. She said she engaged in hundreds of such encounters during her nearly 11-year relationship with Combs from 2007 to 2018. Nash said he remains close with Cassie, even advising her on her trial wardrobe. He said he contacted her Tuesday to congratulate her on the birth of her third child. Along with shedding light on Cassie's feelings about freak-offs, Nash also corroborated her testimony that Combs frequently beat and tormented her. Combs would threaten to hinder Cassie's fledgling music career and said he'd ruin her reputation by releasing recordings of their sexual encounters, Nash said. The stylist said he was at Cassie's apartment, helping her pack for a music festival, when Combs stormed in, grabbed her by the hair, pulled her off a couch and hit her repeatedly. Nash said he jumped on Combs' back in an attempt to get him to stop, but Combs bucked and threw him to the ground. Combs resumed whaling on Cassie, who'd fled to a bedroom with Nash and another friend, knocking her head into the edge of the bed frame and causing a large, bloody gash above her eye, the witness said. 'Look what y'all made me do," Combs said, according to Nash. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to charges that he led a racketeering conspiracy for 20 years that relied on fear and violence to get what he wanted. If convicted, he could face 15 years to life in prison. Earlier Wednesday, Combs' lawyers asked for a mistrial — which Judge Arun Subramanian denied — after they said prosecutors had tried to imply that Combs interfered with a police investigation into the January 2012 firebombing of rapper Kid Cudi's Porsche 911. Subramanian told jurors to disregard testimony about fingerprint records that ended up being destroyed months after the fire. Combs' ex-assistant testified Tuesday that Combs said he wanted to kill Cudi after he learned that Cassie and Cudi were dating in December 2011. A few weeks later, Cudi's Porsche was firebombed. A Molotov cocktail was found in the front seat, made out of a 40-ounce Old English 800 malt liquor bottle and a designer handkerchief, according to Lance Jimenez, an arson investigator for the Los Angeles Fire Department, and photographs shown in court. Combs' lawyers moved for a mistrial after Jimenez, prompted by prosecution questioning, testified that fingerprints taken from Cudi's vehicle were destroyed in August 2012, about eight months after the fire. Jimenez said someone at the Los Angeles Police Department who wasn't involved in the investigation ordered the fingerprint cards destroyed. He said this wasn't normal protocol. Combs' lawyer Alexandra Shapiro accused the government of prosecutorial misconduct for even broaching the idea that something untoward happened with the fingerprint cards. She said prosecutors should've known better because some prospective jurors were eliminated from consideration for the trial after they said they believed Combs could buy his way out of trouble. 'These questions were designed to play right into that,' Shapiro said. Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik countered that 'a mistrial is absolutely unwarranted here," telling the judge that she only asked Jimenez about the fate of the fingerprint cards to counter defense suggestions that the firebombing was poorly investigated and that the area was not canvassed for fingerprints. No arrests were made as a result of Jimenez's investigation, but federal prosecutors contend Combs was responsible for the fire and have included the episode as one of several acts of alleged wrongdoing supporting the racketeering charge against him.

R&B singer Cassie gives birth to third child as Sean Diddy Combs sex trafficking trial continues
Casandra Ventura, the R&B singer and actor known simply as Cassie, has welcomed her third child, a son. The news arrived Wednesday in the midst of the ongoing Sean 'Diddy' Combs sex trafficking trial, at which Cassie is an essential witness. She finished testifying earlier this month while visibly pregnant over four emotional days on the stand, during which she described being beaten and raped by a man she once loved. Reports from multiple media outlets said Cassie gave birth in a New York hospital Tuesday. Stylist Deonte Nash, who worked for Combs for a decade, testified Wednesday that he talked to Cassie the previous day to congratulate her on the birth. Cassie, 38, is perhaps best known for the platinum-selling 2006 hit single 'Me & U." She married personal trainer Alex Fine in September 2019. Their first daughter, Frankie Stone Fine, was born that same year and they welcomed their second daughter, Sunny Cinco Fine, in 2021. The Associated Press does not typically name people who say they have been sexually abused unless they come forward publicly, as Cassie has. Combs, 55, is on trial in New York on charges that he exploited his status as an entertainment executive to force women, including Cassie, into drug-fueled 'freak-offs' with male sex workers and engaged in other abusive acts against people who relied on him for their careers. Combs has pleaded not guilty to federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges. After departing the trial, Cassie, who dated Combs for a decade, released a statement through her lawyer saying she hoped her testimony helps others 'heal from the abuse and fear.' Representatives for Cassie and Fine did not immediately respond to requests for comment. AP writer Mike R. Sisak and Larry Neumeister contributed to this report.
