"Actress Sydney Sweeney broke her silence on backlash to her viral jeans ad, calling it surreal that President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance weighed in to support for her. The president said at the time he loved Sweeney's new ad after finding out she is a registered Republican, while the vice president bashed Democrats over the backlash. My political advice to the Democrats is: continue to tell everybody who thinks Sydney Sweeney is attractive is a Nazi, he told the Ruthless podcast."
"Sweeney dismissed the criticisms thrown at the ad, explaining it was a simple ad promoting jeans, a product she loves. I did a jean ad. I mean, the reaction definitely was a surprise, but I love jeans. All I wear are jeans. I'm literally in jeans and a T-shirt every day of my life, she said, adding that it didn't affect her one way or the other."
Actress Sydney Sweeney said the public support from President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance felt surreal after backlash to her American Eagle jeans ad. The ad used the tagline comparing jeans to genes, which critics said alluded to eugenics and promoted whiteness. The president praised the ad after learning she is a registered Republican, and the vice president attacked Democrats over the reaction. Sweeney said she chose not to issue a statement, affirmed her values and character, dismissed the controversy as a simple jeans promotion, and noted a poll found only 12% of U.S. adults found the ad offensive.
