Lexi's Play makes fun of Cassie's Shallow Personality EUPHORIA S2 E7 

In real life no one would be happy about a play written revolving their own life and their own business without their consent- even if it was a good play.

This particular part of the play was about blaming Cassie for developing a lot earlier than her and being sexualized for it. This was cruel

I mean….even Kat and Maddy aren’t laughing at Cassie’s character in the play, that’s saying something.

let's be all honest if our family had a "Lexi" she would be blacklisted from all fam events after pulling out this bullshit lmao but it's fun to watch in tv show

I can’t be the only one who thinks Lexi was way outta line for this. That carousel scene in particular just seemed like she was going out of her way to humiliate Cassie

the "not like other girl" vibes im getting from lexi...

i actually really disliked her play. if i was her sister, and she portrayed me like that in front of the whole school, id feel awful. and to have her mom support it too? even though cassie's done some shit, shes still a kid and doesnt deserve that ridicule. all of them are still kids.

The differences between Rue’s description of what Cassie went through during puberty vs Lexi’s in the play was what made me realize that this is Lexi’s revenge. Sure she probably didn’t see what it was like for Cassie, but the way she treated that particular moment as a joke sealed the deal. A writer would have pondered the possibilities of what Cassie might have struggled with. Lexi treated Cassie’s uncomfortable feelings as a joke.

Okay, I'm going to call it. I like Lexi. A lot. But what she did wasn't play writing, it was venting. It was a little bit of a revenge. No imagination was involved just unloading. Some people needed it, others not so much. That's what I think. Edit- I understand vending can be a form of writing, of course, but what I meant is I don’t think of it ethical in her case. Usually people that write and expose real individuals and events take permission to tell the story especially when the individuals are still alive. Legally speaking, those teens (and their parents) have a case if they want to take it to court. The school would be in trouble, too, if any school would ever approve such play. I don’t say this because I dislike Lexi or anything, it’s facts. I’m in the industry and know one or two things about such cases. She may have changed their names however, in every other aspect these characters are the same.

Suze reactions in this episode are hilarious she carried this chaotic finale

Lexi is the type of teen to complain about cellphones to get brownie points with boomers

i really liked lexi's play but i felt like it was more of a revenge fantasy? specifically towards her sister, and you can dismiss cassies feelings because of her actions if you want (most people do this anyways) but idk lexi isn't as great as everyone makes her out to be.

As someone who has big breast being sexualized during puberty does not give one a great self image. Saying "Wow you have big knockers" to a kid who's going through body dysmorphia as a result of puberty changing their entire body seemingly overnight is not a complement. All it does is make things worse.

No amount of hate inside me for Cassie will ever let me convince that Lexi did something G on this play. Whole play was so weird and came off as typical boomer vision.

Low key might be an unpopular opinion but Lexi was out of line. I understand that this was a way of expressing herself but to air your friends and familys dirty laundry in front of strangers despite it being on good intentions. It annoys me when she begins to tear up, like did you expect your sister who you are humiliating to just sit there and take it. Doesn’t matter that Cassie was choosing to make bad choices, she doesn’t deserve to have an entire theater of strangers to laugh at her. The carousel scene was out of line too. Because let’s be honest would you want your sibling to do a play about you that portrays the worst of you?

So Lexi ridicules her sister for going through puberty and being sexualized for it? Okay.

Lexi wasn’t wrong about Cassie, but she was wrong for what she did. It’s always been clear that they were not at all close (which is quite sad since they are the only siblings in their family and also so close in age), but to embarrass and humiliate them - and HURT them? Purposely, and for your own benefit? I think that’s kinda messed up.

The play is hands down my favourite moment of all of euphoria…Lexi is iconic

I get Cassie is shallow but she’s also very insecure, Lexie shouldn’t of publicly shamed her sister like that

not justifying her actions, but cassie has been through a lot more shit then lexi can even imagine so I think she actually needs help. this entire play shows lexi's lack of empathy and was nasty af, its ridiculous how lexis "way of expressing herself" is solely based on judging and ridiculing other people.

People who enjoyed Lexi's play and see nothing wrong with it clearly haven't had their personal life aired out for an entire school. Everyone is calling Cassie a pick-me girl (not defending her or denying that), but imagine self-inserting into your own play WITH THE SAME NAME AND SIMILAR PEOPLE. That screams pick me.

Suze just hyping the actor who played her is really taking me out

Honestly idgaf what anyone says Cassie deserved everything she got. Throughout this season Cassie has shown her true colours and has shown that she’s actually a really bad person that will literally ruin every relationship she has just for the validation of men even though time and time again people have shown her that she needs to live for herself. Cassie is the same girl that literally watched her boyfriend get r@ped and then went to go run her mouth about it only to cheat on him soon after even though it was very obvious that he was experiencing extreme trauma and that would be when he needed her the most and then next thing you know she’s now sleeping with her best friends ex while she knows all the horrible shit Nate has done to maddy and also knows that they’re constantly on and off so their breakups are never definite. That and Cassie isn’t even a good sister to lexi in the first place. Lexi showed very deep and personal moments about everyone including herself in the play and yall are saying that she purposely made Cassie look bad to embarrass her while in actuality that just how Cassie is in real life which we all see when Cassie walks on the stage and decides to fuck up the whole play. Literally everyone other than the two worst and toxic characters(Nate&Cassie) liked the play.

Sorry but am I the only one who remembers the (limited) convos between Lexi and Cassie? Lexi asking her a simple question and Cassie treating her rudely and telling her to shut up? Just for one example. Cassie shut her out for the most part and obviously thinks she is better than her. She deserved to be humbled. Idc about the whole "But she's family and you don't treat family like that" f that bs. Being family doesn't excuse poor behavior. Good for Lexie. 👏

I feel like this okay was all the way wrong. Cassie was feeling insecure at the time and then her mom sexualized her. How is that Cassie’s fault? I don’t get it. Lexi took Cassie’s sexualization as something that was putting Lexi down.

I found the play so cringe, I’m not sure if it was just me. Because it wasn’t that much about Lexi, she’s more of a spectator on the whole thing. She’s telling other peoples stories - without their consent, and not even putting any of them in a good light. If it’s about you I get it, but it really just isn’t.

Why can't people admit how shitty the writing of this season is?

Cassie's shallow personality? Has everybody forgot about season 1? You all found her super lovable although she had wrong sides. You could reason her acts with her traumas (not only her losing her father but also her sexual traumas.) She doesn't have a shallow personality she needs help and was supposed to spiral this season. Stop seeing everything in black and white. Also Lexi is not a genius or a saint like most people like to view her so. She didn't do anything creative she invaded other people's lives and judged them as she pleased. She was just venting. If broadcasting the lows of people to everyone is the way of her being able to express herself maybe she shouldn't express herself at all. She could've just talk to Cassie about her feelings. But instead of confronting her she chose to humiliate her. Which is not okay and to me it is pretty similar to what Cassie did to Maddy since they both were doing stuff behind others' backs.

Lexi: "Ugh my sister wears dresses, uses makeup and tries so hard to look good, she's so shallow!" Also Lexi: *wears a dress, is in full makeup and makes an entire play showing how good and better than other people she is*

Honestly this is really disgusting, idk how can someone just do this to their sibling. I just know i would never do such a thing to my sisters, this is beyond awful and fucked no matter how ‘shallow’ they’re. Fix your family shit in private.

Lexie’s Play was literally a masterpiece *chefs kiss

Unpopular opinion Lexi did what she needed to do to feel heard, and she didn't lie so IM confused how any one could sue her?

This was so cruel and gross for part of lexi don't tell me that she was telling her story when clearly she was just embarrassing everyone for nonsense

In real life this type of play wouldn't even be shown in theaters (school or not), but to be fair Cassie needed to be humbled so bad

I can't see any good intentions behind this play. What's wrong with you Lexi, that was disgusting

this just makes me feel even worse for cassie tbh. imagine being objectified and sexualized your whole life, used for your body, losing your dad to drugs, having all the boys at your school share your nudes and nonconsensual/coerced sex tapes, slut-shamed, developing daddy issues and your own sister calls you shallow in front of your whole school because of your daddy issues. cassie may be a bad sister but lexi isn’t all that either, she’s just quieter about it.

Cassie’s personality isn’t shallow. It’s insecure. It’s not exactly uncommon for teenage girls.

People hating on lexi for this but did they see how Cassie would body shame her and make everything about her?

Lexi is clearly in the wrong for this. People just like her and hate Cassie

How is revealing somebody else's whole life into a play can be called 'artistry''? And why is the mom like that? She knows she's portrayed in the play but does not notice how her daughter's whole life including her trauma was there and is being mocked by her other daughter...

Having Ethan portray Suze, is something I never knew I needed.

Not people defending Lexi bullying her sister infront of an audience. Cassie f'd up by being with Nate, but for Lexi to s3xually harass her own sister in public for revenge makes her wicked and vile scum.

I’ve seen sooo many edited clips of the play. And, I love it! Loved loved loved the play, and how she spoke her truth, but also… unpopular opinion she actually brought truth and understanding as to why every character acts the way that they did. Cassie with her abandonment issues due to their dad; Rue with her depression and increased drug use due to her Dad’s death; Maddie’s hidden sweet spirit and vulnerability; and, how the combination of all of these people in her life and how it effected her and how she handles situations. I just wish someone would make an edit for this episode, and the one before, but strictly just the play scenes.

Lexi's play didn't make fun of Cassie shallowness. That just this dull and insecure generations interpretation of it. She's talking about how she wants to be like her. Lexi is admitting to being superficial herself. The meaning of the play was so much deeper than what the Doo Doo brains got from it. 🤣

All of y’all in this comment section don’t realize sometimes people need a wake up call. Even if it “humiliates” that person, some people need to have their asses handed to them. Honestly even Lexi learned some lessons in this play, in my opinion everyone needed this play to happen.

I agree with Nate (never thought I would say that), there is a fine line between being satiric and mocking. Lexi had no right possibly outing Nate's sexuality, that entire part felt homophobic. You don't just put people's lives without their consent. This show is about traumas, but the way the show portrayed this play in a positive way bothers me.

I wish they made it look like an actual school play not a fucking Broadway production

I lover her for this even more xDD

Lexi is just really admitted to the world she is the most insecure person and yet jealous of her sister’s body. Honestly if my sister did this to me, I would beat her up.

Cassie was litteraly shamed/sexualized so much for her body. Her n*des were leaked several times against her consent. Lexi's play fails to show any nuance besides making cassie the vilain and Lexi the good guy.

Y’all hate Cassie so much that y’all are excusing this sick shit🥴 Lexi isn’t a vibe this isn’t cute or funny.

The way they rip through Cassie out of pure jealously Is difficult and heartbreaking 💔

if you think you're stupid, just remember there are people out there who defend Lexi's actions

Dang, Lexi’s a great play writer 💀 💀

Wow…Nate smirked…Some bf you got there, Cassie..

Lexi wrote a play about everyone elses life tryna shame them because she knows no one would be interested in any play about her non existent life 😂

Lexi wrote this play before knowing about Cassie being a terrible friend sleeping with Nate. A lot of people support the play because of those terrible actions Cassie committed, and she deserves to be “exposed”. But that wasn’t Lexi’s intention, she was going to expose and make fun of her sister regardless if Cassie was sleeping with Nate or not. Lexi isn’t great for this but all the characters on this show is flawed so it’s okay. Y’all just accept that Lexi wasn’t completely in the right but you can still like her. Stop being blind and saying she’s amazing for this play cause she ain’t. She’s a terrible sister and Cassie is a terrible friend.

I think, the only problem with the play was cassie on the carosel. like that's it. everything else didn't seem like it was too invasive. This are all based on real events but it was interesting to see lexi play between the extreme ridiculous behavior and imagination vs the moments bringing humanity back to the same people she was writing about. This is the ay they behaved, both good and bad, and she included a lot of stuff that effected her in ways that her "friends" didn't think that it could. And like for rue it makes people look at them selves in a different light. Like the show case with nates character and the locker room scene also could be pointed out as problematic but the thing is its commenting on toxic masculinity clearly present in the school, especially with Nate who she saw often and heard about because of Maddie. Cassie's carosel thing was wrong in the scene it kind of put her in the same position and light as the rest of the guys in Cassie's life do, with the videos and pictures they would take of her and of them forcing her to do things she was uncomfortable with. But I also don't know what would have happened if we let the scene play out with lexis commentary. We've scene lexi do this with Maddie in the play, showing what the world saw maddie being vs how she saw her irl. I'm gonna be honest, my assumption now is that the carosel scene was supposed to be lexi commenting on how she initially saw her sister as being, especially considering the comments she could have heard in school, from her boyfriends, and possibly knowing about the videos and pictures. And how she knew that wasn't true, it was a warped version. I do wish, that she talked to cassie about it tho for obvious reasons.

I would feel beyond betrayed. If my sister told her friends anything I told to her in confidence, I would be mad. But sharing it in a play to be be performed in front of the people I go to school with?!

To be honest all this just seems like jealousy and venting more than Lexi trying to show "everyone their mistakes"

This title is so misleading. Why are people hating on her? It's a well-produced show with some one-liners that are actually funny. It takes a lot for someone as quiet as her to be on stage, express yourself while the spotlight is on you in front of many people, and actually be able to make them laugh. It's a vulnerable situation, and it brings so much relief when people are actually impressed. And if your argument is about Cassie's feelings, I think she's been babied enough so far without being called out. People have tried to verbally make her understand, but that obviously doesn't work. I'm not saying the point of this play was to make Cassie realize her mistake. This play is Lexi's story and how people around her affected her, what she saw from her eyes; the bit about Cassie is just a part of it, albeit a big part because that's how Lexi grew up, being overshadowed by her sister. Can't judge the whole play because of the presentation of ONE character.

nah bro im a loser same as lexi and i would never write a two hours play to embarrass someone i am jealous of, thats so pathetic lmfao

Lexi is one of those girls that thinks everyone has to deal with trauma the way she does, sadly Sam made her a big time pick me girl

Ethan absolutely killed the characters he played

Why do i feel like Lexi is those authors who self-insert themselves as the main character in every novel.

My sister is very much alike with Cassie and I am actually into theater and writing... and I would never make a play about her or her sexuality or anyrhing in general. Its insane how this show normalizes sex in teenagers and makes Lexi look like she was great when this is disgusting

Y’all realize you can love Lexi and still disapprove of the play, right? Like she didn’t even *try* to hide who the people her play was based after were. With the exception of the name changes of every character except her, it wouldn’t be hard at all for the student body to figure out who the characters were based off of. And since she made her sister essentially a caricature of herself, it’s only going to be harder for Cassie to be able find a support system to get out of her abusive relationship with Nate. People (specifically men) already see Cassie as some hyper-concupiscent whore. I doubt the carousel scene in the play will do anything to help that view. And even though Rue approved of the play as a whole and thought it was beautiful, it doesn’t suddenly mean that Lexi wasn’t *way* out of line for including the scenes about Rue’s life, specifically the ones about her father and his passing. At the very least, she should have asked for Rue’s permission to include it in the play.

Also Cassie didn’t even seem to mind. She got mad when Lexie’s play started to call out Nate and Nate got mad, told Cassie to get her things out of his house. So she blames Lexi.

The fact that everyone was able to laugh at themselves except for these two(Cassie and Nate) tells a lot.

If Cassie didn't cheat on Maddie by going to Nate ppl would have been against Lexi for putting up a show against her sister!! And self proclaiming herself smart n informed god

Okay so she roasts I think everyone in her play, especially Cassie and Nat, but does she also go after herself? Befusse even if everything she says is true, if she doesn’t also roast herself and puts herself on this pedestal, then that’s messed up

irl, this kinda shit can easily turn into traumatic experience lasting over a lifetime. this shit ain't no G

Honestly I don’t think Cassie is a bad person or a villain. She’s just numb and acting on any type of emotion instead of thinking things through .In other cases I think Lexi is diabolical. She literally is making a play about peoples mistakes and insecurities to make herself feel better when she’s clearly insecure. I’d be pissed and I’d never humiliate my sister like that.

I dont even know how this is considered a school play tbh

Lexi could've shared the spotlight with Cassie but she was too afraid. So, she lived in her shadow instead and blamed Cassie for hogging the light, even though there was room for both of them.

It's awful to have Lexi as your sister

the fact that some ppl irl applaud this play goes to show how some of the watchers live in a bubble

The mom is the problem. She’s just laughing at her daughter disrespecting people’s privacy including someone’s past drug abuse without their consent (Lexi had no way of knowing that wouldn’t trigger Rue) then the mom is confused when Cassie has a breakdown. Did she just expect her to sit there and take it? So messed up.

Can we talk about Suze just loving being played as a drunk by a male. 🤣🤣🤣 she is a mood

i cant hate enough lexi for this, if lexi was my sister i would literally get violent

I think Lexie is the worst because she did it in front of everyone and then had the guts to play the victim. One thing is to fight at home or in front of some friends but this is school and their mother is sick for letting this happen.

The problem with Lexi making this play about Cassie is that she pretends she didn't. If you're calling her out, just do it.

I think this is such an interesting scene that tells so much about Lexi and how she sees the world around her. She shows Cassie and Suze in the same vein - both as comical figures, caricatures of themselves and their worst behaviors. Lexi is portrayed as the only sane member of her family, because that’s how she feels in real life. Suze isn’t that much of a sloppy drunk and Cassie isn’t that much of a bimbo, but sometimes it probably really does feel like it to Lexi who is constantly caught up in their drama. She’s grown up in an incredibly dysfunctional household, caught between these two women who are spinning out on their additions - for Suze, it’s alcohol, for Cassie, men. Cassie’s promiscuity has 100% affected the dynamics of the household and Lexi has been dragged in to deal with her emotional turmoil often. Having a sibling with major emotional problems can be an incredibly caustic situation, especially when the adult that should be taking care of everything would rather be a “best friend” than a parent. IMO, showing Cassie and Suze both as these comical exaggerations of themselves shows that Lexi is associating their behaviors together in her mind - i.e., Cassie’s perpetual drama and chaos have effected Lexi in the same way as Suze’s drinking and “cool mom” neglect. Was the play messy? Yes. But Lexi is sixteen. She’s a child who has grown up in a messy, chaotic home, watching every person that she cares about fall apart and chose men/drugs/alcohol over everything else. The play is the first time that she has been able to have give a voice to her pain and her feelings about her family and their dynamic. I’m not going to vilify her for choosing to create caricatures of the two people who made her feel the most unstable and neglected as a way of dealing with that pain.

Not even Maddy liked what was going on and she had every right to like it.

Is it Cassie's "shallow personality" or just Cassie's average insecurities?...

as everyone in the comments is focusing on whether lexi or cassie is in the wrong, i think the mom deserves a lot more flack than she gets. She sees her own daughter going to a mental breakdown and instead of helping her says "I don't care I just want to see my show" and "that girl needs an exorcist". Don't remember a lot from the first season but she's never been a great support to her either. Even when she goes to calm the situation on the stage, she doesn't do anything to comfort her daughter nor does she do anything when she's literally being chased by a girl that wants to beat her up. She also let Cal in her house and let him interrogate and intimidate her daughters and threaten to take their phones and read all of their private messages. She's a pretty bad mother and she's probably one of the contributing factors to cassie's behavior.

Lexi is no saint, she had her own biases just like everybody else. That carousel scene was just over the top tho. Because who REALLY wants a bad drug trip to be shared with other people, especially when they're so vulnerable in that moment and aren't fully in control anymore?

Can we all just take a moment and realise that this play isn’t about Cassie. It’s about Lexi, her struggles and how she experienced things through childhood. We get a play about Lexi, and still manage to make it about Cassie. Also if it were Cassie writing the play, she would be ridiculing Lexi for “having no life” and you all know it. I feel like we’re proving Lexi’s point, Cassie is still getting more attention than Lexi even when the show isn’t about Cassie. We should be talking about Lexi’s struggles and think to ourselves “damn, Lexi’s such a smart young woman who’s hurting inside and turning it into comedy. This is a really good play.” And instead we’re talking about Cassie for the one hundredth time, it’s getting repetitive and annoying. This all just proves that Lexi is a severely underrated character.

If i had a sister like that i would never allow her to be in my funeral

Suze loving her stage character reminds me of Toph with her stage character. 😂

Really what bother me the most is how simple she sees all her sister problems if you wanna potrait something so traumatizing for your sister you need to know her feelings about it is your life but in overall you are telling other story any of Euphoria caracters are good or bad but she sees the perspective of probadbly 70% of the audience and that's when you know if the play is doing it the right thing or you just simple wanna think Lexi is good and beyond everyone

Lexi is worse than any other character. She looks innocent but not. She is what Nate used to describe Cassie.

There was a play at my high school where the writer (female) basically did the same thing Lexi did to her sister and friends literally using actors that look very similar like her sister and her 3 friends and used their real names and didn’t get their permission and her drama teacher (female) also had no knowledge of this she thought this whole play was fiction but like Lexi she’s not creative, all 4 of them were very pissed off when they realized who the characters were and the judgements she made about them and talking about their personal issues to the whole school, so they went to the teacher and told her that she didn’t get their permission and is exposing personal secrets, issues and making a fool out of them so she ended the play immediately, the teacher and principal kicked her out of drama class, and all her friends sued her they were so done with her and her sister who was quite good was more upset than pissed that her own sister did that to her. some students felt satisfied about the people she made fun of but still just about everyone and myself felt she did them so wrong and didn’t understand why she would do that if they were her friends? just like that time I think Lexi did them wrong especially Cassie by not asking her friends to talk about their personal issues and secrets to the school, if this show were to be real Lexi would not get away that easily she should get some bad karma by whoever and however

The way no one thinks Lexy is a horrible sister for this

Gotta be honest, if my sister did this to me, I would be as pissed as Cassie.

Villains or not, anyone would be pissed to be called out so publicly and obscenely

This whole play gives “I’m not like other girls” vibes and WHY ARE YALL JUST NOW REALIZING THIS PLAY WAS WEIRD 😭

i love lexi but her "i don't want to be acknowledged by my body (or some shit like that)" thing was totally misogynistic and the carousel scene?? unnecessary, that was just her hating on her sister

i love the mom’s reaction 😭 😂

Their high school has a huge arts budget
