Hollywood star Sydney Sweeney is speaking out after the storm that followed her controversial ad for American Eagle. The campaign’s tagline “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans!” drew sharp criticism this year, and now Sydney Sweeney is finally addressing the backlash and her reaction to the public uproar.
Sydney Sweeney’s Reaction to American Eagle Ad Backlash Goes Viral: ‘This Is Insane’
In the interview, Sydney Sweeney admitted the response “definitely was a surprise,” as she explained she filmed the campaign while working heavy hours on Euphoria and largely avoided social media during the rollout. She said that although she didn’t engage much with the chatter online, she was aware of reports about the campaign’s effects, including a rise in American Eagle’s stock price.
Critics, however, weren’t so forgiving. Many claimed the campaign crossed lines by using rhetoric some interpreted as promoting genetic superiority, a charge Sydney Sweeney addresses by emphasizing that the ad “was great jeans” and not meant to spark that kind of debate.
Regardless of the controversy, Sydney Sweeney says she won’t let the noise derail her focus. With new film projects on the horizon, she’s ready to move on, and she hopes the audience will too.
This moment for Sydney Sweeney shows how quickly a brand campaign can turn into a cultural flashpoint, but also how one actress responded with composure and clarity.
