‘Sick’: White Lotus Star Criticizes Sydney Sweeney

The 31-year-old actress reacted after celebrity photographer Misan Harriman shared a clip from a new GQ interview with Sydney Sweeney, where she downplayed the backlash against her controversial American Eagle ad featuring the slogan: “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.”
“Presuming that you are not a white supremacist, at least say how horrified you were by how this campaign was amplified and celebrated by unrepentant racists who believe in eugenics,” Harriman wrote.
“At least recognise the harm your jeans campaign has caused black folk. The undertone of the campaign is that your genetics are superior to others - the play on words is clear as day and racists LOVED it!”
“So, presuming you didn’t know when you shot it, you certainly do now, and it matters. This ain’t it!”
