Sydney Sweeney is used to going viral over her looks, but she had no clue that talking about herself and what she wore would garner so much backlash.

An ad slogan has upset many online to accuse the brand of promoting eugenics.

Sweeney, who rose to fame for her starring roles in HBO’s “Euphoria” and “The White Lotus,” is the star of the clothing retailer’s latest denim-focused fall campaign, with the tagline, “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.”

It’s a play on words for Sweeney’s “great genes.”

Sweeney’s new American Eagle ad campaign has been widely criticized for allegedly promoting “Nazi propaganda” by being a “racialized dog whistle” praising blond hair and blue eyes.

Amid the controversy, Sydney Sweeney is now starring in yet another ad, this time for ‘Hey Dude.’

In this ad, Sweeney is rocking a tight one-piece swimsuit and a Cowboy hat.

“You can take the dude out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the dude,” Sweeney says as she walks on a beach and drops down to her knees in front of a stereo.

Sydney Sweeney has released a video on social media in response to the backlash she has received in the wake of her new American Eagle Outfitters “Great Jeans” denim campaign, which has been blowing up this past week.

The video is part of a HeyDude Shoes campaign, highlighting her country roots.

The star actress could be seen driving a John Deere Gator, riding a horse in a cowboy hat, and lounging on a beach, with the caption, “POV you’re in HEYDUDE COUNTRY with Syd.”

Due to the backlash, American Eagle Outfitters’ stock surged to a high of $12.20 on Tuesday before closing at $11.54, signaling the campaign still has strong market support.

Neither Sweeney nor American Eagle has publicly addressed the latest backlash.

Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
