Sydney Sweeney finally reacts to backlash from American Eagle ad

Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney has finally reacted to the backlash she received from her American Eagle ad campaign. The actress had appeared in a jeans campaign for American Eagle, where she made use of a word ‘jeans, as a play on genetic genes.

Sweeney, popular for her role in Euphoria, stated that she was surprised by the negative responses she received from the ad. She revealed in an interview with People that she is against hate and divisiveness.

“Anyone who knows me knows that I’m always trying to bring people together. I’m against hate and divisiveness. In the past, my stance has been to never respond to negative or positive press but recently I have come to realize that my silence regarding this issue has only widened the divide, not closed it. So I hope this new year brings more focus on what connects us instead of what divides us,” Sweeney said.
