Sydney Sweeney recently talked about her American Eagle jeans ad. The ad had a slogan that played on words. It said, \"Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans, \" but some people thought it was a joke about genes. This made many people upset. The ad seemed to suggest that white people are better, which is a bad idea. In an interview, Sweeney was asked about the ad. The interviewer wanted to know if she had anything to say about the backlash. But Sweeney did not want to talk about it. She said she would speak up when she had something to say. This made people even more upset. Many thought her silence was a way of supporting white supremacy. Several celebrities spoke out against Sweeney. Aimee Lou Wood, who stars in The White Lotus with Sweeney, reacted with a vomiting emoji. Jupiter Baal, a content creator, shared a video saying Sweeney was part of the problem. Christina Ricci, SZA, and Dan Stevens also criticized Sweeney. They all agreed that not speaking out is the same as supporting bad ideas. Sweeney's latest movie, Christy, did not do well at the box office. It made very little money. Ruby Rose, who was originally supposed to star in the movie, was very critical. She said Sweeney ruined the film. Jon Stewart also made fun of the movie's failure on his show. Sweeney tried to defend the movie. She said it was not about the money. She said it was about making an impact. But many people still think the movie was not good. It got mixed reviews from critics.
