A video showing Sydney Sweeney in tears has been circulating in the wake of the controversy surrounding American Eagle‘s jeans ad, which she starred in. Fans believe this video appear to suggest that the actress was reacting to the backlash against her jeans ad.
In the past few months, the 27-year-old actress has headlined several ads and engaged in ventures that highlighted her physical appearance. These include her and Dr. Squatch’s promotion and sale of her limited-edition bathwater soap made from her actual bathwater, as well as her participation in HEYDUDE’s “Country” campaign.
Sydney Sweeney is not crying for jeans controversy amid resurfaced video
Recently, a video of Sydney Sweeney crying surfaced on social media. In it, she could be seen getting emotional while addressing viewers about how it was important for people to realize the effect of their words on others.
“And I know everyone says ‘you can’t read things, you shouldn’t read things,’ but I’m a f—— person,” the Euphoria actress added (via The Independent). “People need to be nicer on social media because it’s really f—– up.”
Many believed this video was Sweeney’s reaction to the controversy surrounding her recent American Eagle ad. This is because the users who shared it on social media claimed it was the case. However, this video has nothing to do with the apparel company’s ad.
Sweeney has not yet released an official statement or addressed the backlash surrounding her American Eagle ad.
The Anyone But You star had uploaded the video on social media a few years ago. In 2021, Sweeney went live on Instagram and addressed the nasty comments trolls made about her physical appearance. Sweeney received considerable support from fans.
“Not Sydney Sweeney on Instagram Live crying? She doesn’t even do anything how did people manage to have a problem with her?” a fan wrote.
Another added, “I can’t believe we live in a world where people actually think Sydney Sweeney isn’t just absolutely breathtakingly beautiful.”
One fan criticized trolls harassing the actress and urged them to “leave” her “alone.” They wrote, “Y’all need to do better and leave this poor woman alone.”
