Sydney Sweeney reportedly thinks that critics have exaggerated the backlash surrounding her American Eagle jeans ad well beyond measure. The actor found herself in the middle of a fresh controversy after featuring in the clothing brand’s latest campaign,

The crux of the campaign is Sweeney’s assertion that her jeans are good, but the whole thing rests on a pun: She’s also talking about her genes. “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring,” she says in one video, “often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color. My jeans are blue.”

Trump added on Truth Social: “Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the HOTTEST ad out there. It’s for American Eagle, and the jeans are “flying of the shelves.” Go get ‘em Sydney.”
