In recent weeks, Sydney Sweeney has come under fire on social media over her character’s storyline. Creator Sam Levinson’s handling of the subplot and broader character writing has also drawn criticism from longtime fans.
Season 3 sees Cassie turn to adult content creation to fund her dream wedding with Nate (Jacob Elordi). In the upcoming episode, the couple finally ties the knot, with HBO offering a new glimpse of the ceremony.
One image shows a wedding welcome sign alongside a photo of the couple. However, instead of their full names, the board uses their nicknames.

Fans quickly pointed out the issue with the welcome sign on social media, noting that “Nate” and “Cassie” aren’t their real names.
Cassie’s full name is Cassandra Howard, while Nate is short for Nathaniel Jacobs. This led X users to question why the wedding sign used nicknames. Some wondered if Levinson had overlooked their full names or simply forgotten them.
“Cassie & Nate instead of Cassandra and Nathan is quite unclassy,” one user commented.
Another wrote, “50k on flowers but nicknames on the Canva invite is diabolical. I can't wait for this mess.”

“Ghetto and low class,” a third person said.
Some fans took issue with the entire wedding setup, including the welcome sign. They criticized Cassie’s taste, calling the event “tacky” and “cheap.”
Others argued that Nate and Cassie’s relationship is extremely toxic and that their marriage makes little sense.
“I’m just attending for the mess,” one fan said.

Since the Season 3 premiere, Sweeney has faced backlash for scenes in which her character poses as a dog and a baby while creating adult content for money.
Despite many viewers calling these scenes unnecessary and degrading, the 28-year-old actress defended the ruanchy storyline in a behind-the-scenes snippet.
She said Cassie is confident in her body and feels no shame about filming explicit content, adding that the character knows how to profit from it and even enjoys it.
“That’s her version of the American dream,” she said.

Sweeney’s statement earned further backlash on X, with fans pointing out that earlier seasons portrayed Cassie as an attention seeker, making her defense feel inconsistent.
One user said, “She’s literally playing herself. She ain’t fooling anyone.”
“She’s so happy to have her character be a mess and a loser,” another added.
