Actress Sydney Sweeney has stood by her decision not to apologize for her involvement in an American Eagle “great jeans” advertisement from earlier this year, which some critics have labeled as carrying racist overtones.
In an interview with GQ, Sweeney spoke candidly about the controversy surrounding the ad.
Reporter Katherine Stoeffel addressed the issue, stating, “The backlash stemmed from the idea that, particularly in today’s political landscape, it might be inappropriate for white individuals to joke about genetic superiority. That was the general critique. Given that you’re discussing this, I wanted to offer you a chance to address that specific point.”
Sweeney responded by saying, “When there’s an issue I feel strongly about, I will make my voice heard,” choosing not to delve further into the topic.
When questioned about her reaction to the public’s response, Sweeney expressed surprise at the intensity of the criticism.
“I have a passion for jeans,” she remarked. “Jeans and a T-shirt are my everyday attire.”
When Stoeffel asked Sweeney about how she felt about President Trump posting about the ad on Truth Social, Sweeney simply said it was “surreal.”
As – News reported earlier this year, a cadre of woke lunatics lashed out at the American Eagle employing cheesy puns. “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans,” the ad said as a play on the word “genes.” According to online woke activists, the ad was a dog whistle for Nazi eugenics.
One crazed TikToker imagined that the ad is so racist and Nazified that it will “be in history books,” exclaimed the heavily tattooed weirdo with multiple piercings and a nose ring. “That’s Nazi propaganda,” she added.
Another extremist insisted that Sydney Sweeney had appeared in “an ad for eugenics.” This social media user also blared that American Eagle is “faschy coded” (meaning fascist), and that the jeans company created the ad to “revive the Third Reich.”
Then there was the leftist woman — who belched during her video and, yes, also had a nose ring — claimed that the ad was meant to “point away from black and brown women.”
The media also fanned the flames as well, with prominent outlets referring to the ad as “controversial” or even a “cultural shift toward whiteness.”
White House communications manager Steven Cheung said the reactions were exactly the reason why Trump won the 2024 election, adding that Americans are “tired of this bullshit.”
“Cancel culture run amok. This warped, moronic, and dense liberal thinking is a big reason why Americans voted the way they did in 2024. They’re tired of this bullshit,” Cheung said.
