"Why did S ydney Sweeney do an ad for American Eagle promoting good jeans? Did she actually mean "good genes"? In which part of the commercial does she mean "jeans" and in which part does she mean "genes"? Can we peep the script? Doesn't she know what's happening in this country right now? Isn't it all a bit tone-deaf? Is she just referencing the Brooke Shields ad from the 1980s?"
"After months of speculation, thousands of tweets, and needless and racist attacks on a New Yorker writer, we can finally put the issue to bed: Sydney Sweeney did the American Eagle ad because she loves jeans. "I love jeans," Sweeney told GQ in a November 4 profile. Let's run that back one more time: "I love jeans." Anything else Sweeney had to say about the jeans? "All I wear are jeans. I'm literally in jeans and a T-shirt every day of my life.""
Sydney Sweeney starred in an American Eagle commercial promoting jeans and faced public speculation that she implied "good genes" rather than "good jeans." The ad triggered widespread social-media debate, racist attacks, and commentary from public figures. Sweeney told GQ that she loves jeans, saying she wears them and T-shirts every day, and that the commercial was simply about selling great jeans. She stated the ad did not affect her and that she will speak publicly when she has an issue to address. The matter is presented as resolved by her repeated declarations of affection for jeans.
