"The risk is that when the public conversation focuses more on the sexualised aspects of the role than on the performance, the same work that made her seem daring can start to narrow the brand.

"Sexuality on screen is not inherently unserious. The problem is when it becomes the dominant shorthand for the actor.

"For Sweeney, the challenge is not that she has played sexualised roles. The challenge is making sure those roles continue to read as character choices, not as the entire brand proposition."

Fans were also disturbed by Cassie's "puppy play" exploits when she dressed up as a lingerie-clad dog, which led to creator Sam Levinson having to defend the scenes.

Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, he said: "(Cassie) has got her dog house and her little dog ears and the nose, and that has its own humour, but what makes the scene is the fact that her housekeeper is the one filming it.

"What we wanted to always find is the other layer of absurdity that we're able to tie into it so that we're not too inside of her fantasy or illusion — the gag is to jump out, to break the wall."

Meanwhile, Sweeney told Entertainment Tonight: "I mean, Cassie's a crazy character. She will do anything and at all costs to be famous this season, and she makes a lot of very wild and interesting choices."
