Euphoria fan-fiction sex scene between Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson slammed
It has sparked controversy for its graphic content — but there's one “disturbing” sex scene featuring two big name stars that left viewers shocked.
Euphoria has attracted controversy for its extremely graphic content, with “close to 30 penises” appearing on screen in one episode.
In the premiere alone, one character commits statutory rape with a 17-year-old trans girl and the show’s lead Rue, played by A-list star Zendaya, who has been nominated for an Emmy Award for her performance, overdoses on drugs.
The content was also too disturbing for actor Brian Bradley, 22, who shot scenes in the pilot before quitting the show, which is available to watch on Binge.
But there is one scene in particular that had viewers saying the show had gone too far.

Fans blew up on social media about the episode when it first aired, which features an explicit fan-fiction sex scene between One Direction band members Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson.
Tomlinson addressed the scene on Twitter, declaring: “I can categorically say that I was not contacted nor did I approve it.”
The bizarre scene focused on writer Kat, played by Barbie Ferreira, who depicted a graphic story about “Larry Stylinson”, the nickname for a fictional same-sex relationship between Styles and Tomlinson.
The latest episode of âEuphoriaâ focused on a character whoâs a popular fanfiction writer.

During the show, an animated NC-17-rated fan fiction scene with 1Dâs Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson was shown, and fans are asking for the scene to be removed. pic.twitter.com/xBV2oEUBhZ
In the animated scene, which is narrated by Rue, Styles performs oral sex on Tomlinson before one of their shows.
Fans described the situation as “disgusting” and “disrespectful”, with many predicting Tomlinson and Styles will sue the production company.
“Larry” is the name that One Direction fans used to describe Style and Tomlinson’s close friendship, but it soon spiralled into a conspiracy theory about them being romantically involved, to which they both have repeatedly denied.
There were rumours this led to a breakdown of their friendship.
