Sydney Sweeney Sparks Controversy and Speculation on Fox News
Sydney Sweeney, the star of HBO’s "Euphoria," has found herself at the center of a social media storm following her latest ad campaign for American Eagle. The controversy intensified when Fox News host Jesse Watters fueled speculation by suggesting Sweeney might marry Barron Trump, the youngest son of former President Donald Trump.
During a recent segment on "The Five," Watters commented on Sweeney’s rising popularity within conservative circles, predicting, “She’s gonna marry Barron. And it’s gonna create the greatest political dynasty in American history.” This remark was accompanied by a Fox News banner reading, “LIBERALS ARE LOSING IT OVER SYDNEY SWEENEY,” referencing backlash against the actress stemming from the advertising campaign.
The ad itself has been criticized for its tagline, “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans,” which some believe intentionally plays on the word "genes" to invoke notions of white supremacy. Critics took to social media to express outrage, asserting that the slogan had racial undertones. In a notable video, Sweeney is seen modifying a billboard that initially read “Genes” to correct it to “Jeans.”
Despite the backlash, Sweeney received public backing from Donald Trump, who praised her American Eagle ad on his platform, Truth Social. He wrote, “Sydney Sweeney…has the ‘HOTTEST’ ad out there,” further urging fans to support her work and dismissing the notion of “WOKE” culture.
As the conversation continues online, Sweeney’s involvement in the campaign and the unexpected speculation surrounding her personal life demonstrate the intricate interplay between popular culture and politics in today’s media landscape.
