She's right though, the problem isn't the advert, the problem is people's internal dialogue hearing what their internal barometer tells them to hear The fact that she's white, and was the face of the ad campaign for American Eagle is the reason people are upset - but why? If it was any other race, creed or nationality doing the exact same campaign, the critics would have been vanishingly silent The issue is the same for everybody, you should not be ashamed of your generic makeup that nature gave to you. Anybody telling you that you, or anybody else, should should be ashamed, by definition, racists It's time we start being inclusive in our terms and not exclusive, and then we can be happier in society

The way the interviewer goaded her into a place where she might elicit an answer was crazy.

When I have a flip that I want people to see, they will see.

Oh my goodness we are so fucking back

The interviewer: I’m kind enough to give you an opportunity to apologize for what I think is inappropriate. Sweeney: I’ll speak when I want to

I think I'd put your profession between insurance salesman and fentanyl dealers as far as progress to society goes.

better to not have a take than to have a bad take.

@sydney_sweeney for anything!!! Masterclass

Anyone got an id on that jacket? Tom Ford, maybe?

true. you need to stand your ground.

This type of PR sh8t is the reason politicians or any one else on TV don't seem to just talk normal anymore.

💯

What irks me is this entire interview was pussyfooting around this like it was going to be some gotcha moment. IDK who the "interviewer" is but she's horrible.

Plus the "i want to give you the opportunity.." is so smug and tone deaf. Sydney is giving HER the opportunity to conduct the interview. Sydney doesn't need this interview. You have a chance to talk with a celeb that's got all kinds of things going for her, and talk to her in this childish, coaxing tone, trying to lead her down some path of feeling like she did something wrong for being in a pants commercial. Yuck!

Exactly. Michael Jordan on why he didn’t address certain topics: 1. “Republicans buy sneakers, too.” 2. “I do commend Muhammad Ali for standing up for what he believed in. But I never thought of myself as an activist. I thought of myself as a basketball player. I wasn't a politician when I was playing my sport. I was focused on my craft. Was that selfish? Probably. But that was my energy. That's where my energy was.”

i want to punch the interviewer in the mouth… so freaking much

MAGA must really be desperate for content to make this literally anything. We are watching an average actress make a comment. Super compelling. If Sweeney is the MAGA savior good luck with that! 😂

On asking questions: "On the questioner the effect is a feeling of enhanced power. He enjoys this and consequentially asks more and more questions; every answer he receives is an act of submission. Personal freedom consists largely in having a defense against questions. The most blatant tyranny is the one which asks the most blatant questions." - Elias Canetti

The interviewer took a painfully long time to set up the question, and all the while Sydney waits, aloof. No eye-rolling, no jumping in to cut her off once it was obvious what she was getting at. For an ordinary person that would have been the hard part, not interrupting.

"just wanted to give you an opportunity to talk about that" - no you get the opportunity to interview her

PR at its finest. @TheRock has a great PR team as well. He handles questions fabulously when I see him in the press or in interviews.

she appears to be an excellent listener, then thoughtful answerer (if that's a word)

I’ve probably been chilling somewhere under a rock but what is all this about?

The woke interviewer is trying to hard to connect and manipulate an answer out of her it’s hard to watch.

I don't find her attractive, she isn't my type of actress, but golly this entire interview made me like her.

If only Peeyush Goyal was well trained as well

Sydney Sweeney remains undefeated. Queen bee ✨

especially when the question comes from a fake empathy face upspeaker

Seems like Elon in this interview

I couldn't agree more @aubreystrobel, this is outstanding!

Big fan of Sydney Great response

She’s very impressive
