Sydney Sweeney Ends Silence On American Eagles Jean Controversy

by

Sydney Sweeney, a quickly rising star in Hollywood, has addressed the recent controversy surrounding her American Eagle jeans ad. The ad, which used a play on words with “genes/jeans,” received criticism for potentially referencing eugenics and promoting narrow, racially biased beauty standards.

In a recent interview with GQ, Sydney Sweeney discussed the unexpected reaction to a jeans advertisement she did. She explained that for her, it was simply work, and she’s a big fan of jeans, saying, “I love jeans. I literally wear them every single day with a T-shirt.”

Sydney Sweeney described President Trump’s response to the ad and the resulting criticism as “surreal.” GQ noted it might be nice to have powerful people publicly supporting her, and asked if she felt that way. She then responded:

I wasn’t really focused on any of that, to be honest. I mostly just stopped using my phone. I was busy filming Euphoria, working really long days – about 16 hours – and I usually leave my phone off set. So, I’d work, go home, and sleep. Because of that, I didn’t see much of what was happening.

GQ also discussed how the recent controversy affected American Eagle and what Sydney Sweeney thought about it. You can find more details in the comments section below.

GQ reported that American Eagle’s stock rose by 38 percent. Does knowing this positive business outcome make the public attention and discussion surrounding the partnership any easier to handle?

I was following the sales figures while the ad campaign was running, and the reports about declining in-store visits were completely inaccurate. The company couldn’t publicly correct the information at the time because they were in a restricted period. It was all just speculation, and honestly, it didn’t bother me because I knew the ad featured a really great pair of jeans.
