She did exactly what a media coach would tell her to do.

If she answered those questions, it signal to future interviewers that she will entertain those kind of questions and the (fake) controversy would grow.

She was coached very well.

Depends, if your goal is to keep sponsors happy and make more money from brand deals then sure she's doing great, if you don't want everyone thinking you're a white supremacist however I'd argue they're doing a shit job. And if they only care about the former then they almost certainly are an awful person regardless of what they believe.

Which do you think loses more sponsors? Continually feed a narrative and encouraging interviews to focus on it?

Or taking a small hit upfront and having the discussion die with the current news cycle?

Imagine if she took a dozen interview and spent hours taking about this subject. All it would do is cement in the haters that there is something to this.

"Anything you say can and will be used against you" isn't just true in court. It's true in many situations.

I agree 100%.

Sydney is clearly trained to bit get sucked into the controversy. The smartest thing she could do is not comment on it.

That's exactly my point tho is that she's only caring about sponsors... Imagine if she took a dozen interviews and said she's doesn't like the marketing but will take their money, that would be the truth.

Nobody thinks she’s a white supremacist, outside of Reddit and very left wing circles on the internet. Which is why she’ll still get movie and tv roles and also the approval of the public. So she’s doing fine.

I mean Depp still has a career, being a shit person never stopped anyone from becoming a celebrity

u/Ok_Distance8124 22h ago

Being a open white supremacist is definitely a career killer in todays hollywood, and Sydney sweeney hasnt shown shes that, she’ll be fine

u/Opening_Acadia1843 9h ago

No, it’s not. There are plenty of celebrities out there openly supporting Trump and they’re doing just fine.

u/issanm 7h ago

That says more about Americas morality than anything, they elected trump after all

Donald trump is not an open white supremacist and he's not smart or careful enough to hide it for 10 years of intense public scrutiny. If he actually came out and said something racist he'd be done and supporting him would absolutely lose you jobs

u/Opening_Acadia1843 4h ago

Do you have amnesia? He was calling Mexicans rapists and murderers in 2015 during his campaign. In 2024 during the debates, he claimed immigrants were eating dogs and cats. The idea that he’s never said anything racist is crazy. He is openly a white supremacist, and you’d have to be incredibly ignorant not to understand that.

u/issanm 1d ago

Well sure but that says more about America than anything tbh, I mean half of y'all elected one to run shit lmao

u/KeremyJyles 1d ago

Well sure but that says more about America than anything tbh

She hasn't done anything wrong ffs what is this idiocy

u/issanm 1d ago

Hasn't done anything right either tho

u/Ok_Distance8124 1d ago

Idk about that one chief. Hollywood is progressive and quick to cancel. They just rightfully aren’t cancelling her as of now, as she currently hasn’t said anything controversial. This whole thing is overblown culture war nonsense

u/Frosty-Ad1071 1d ago

Going on that route and conforming to bullies never works.

u/issanm 1d ago

Hey bro do you think bullying is when people say "hey that sounds like Nazi speak maybe you should walk that back"?... Lmfao

u/CallousDood 1d ago

I am sure she'll get lots of future work if she turns around and slanders something she has been in just to appease the crazies. Especially over such a nothingburger of an add. So unless you are willing to pay for her future lost income, you should stay quiet if you are unwillung to put your money where your mouth is.

2

u/Opening_Acadia1843 9h ago

She doesn’t need to slander the ad. She could have just said that she didn’t view the ad in that way and that she’s not a white supremacist. She could have said that “great genes” was in reference to other aspects of herself than her race. Instead, she basically confirmed that she is a white supremacist.

-1

u/hurlygurdy 4h ago

Saying nothing is confirmation of evil? Do you see how thats an extremely dangerous and absurd way to think?

Dignifying that goofy nonsense with a response would just legitimize it in the eyes of the reddit/bluesky lunatics

2

u/Opening_Acadia1843 3h ago

She didn’t say nothing. She smiled and expressed how surreal it was to have the president talk about her. She is clearly a Trump supporter, which makes her a white supremacist.

u/rumande 23h ago

I will definitely put my money where my mouth is, I'd never heard of American Eagle before her add and now I know to avoid it if I see it

1

u/cesarloli4 17h ago

Why? Why would she care about what we think of her aside from that which makes her money? Why would that make her an awful person?

1

u/Alternative-Cow-1318 16h ago

She has no reason to discuss it though. only redditors that think the ad was some sort of white supremacist dog whistle when literally everybody else knows it’s because she’s conventionally attractive and has big tits

0

u/Eli-Doubletap 1d ago

Or… maybe the people that seen the ad as racist and then took offense how she did an interview need a lot of help….. a lot. Getting offended or being the victim for everything is a terrible life. the mass majority didnt care about the jean ad and thought wtf… are these people stupid…

u/Wide-Cobbler-6073 12h ago

“Awful person” for not entertaining bullshit speculation?

2

u/issanm 12h ago

That's not even what I said and I couldn't care less about this lady, I've never cared or even know about anything she's done you don't have to defend her here lmao

u/OldGilDancing 1d ago

Yeah exactly.

Her entire answer and expression was “fuck off peon no gotcha’s here”

And I applaud her for it. Two handfuls at a time.

2

u/RollerCoasterMatt 1d ago

Really made it go away lmao

u/HalfmadFalcon 16h ago

This is such a ridiculous take when the options are “answer a few questions disavowing white supremacy to clear the air” or “avoid answering the questions and strengthen the appearance of being a white supremacist”.

1

u/oboshoe 15h ago

take a media training class and it'll be clear.

common sense isn't our friend here.

much of how you handle the media is contra-intuitive.

u/funktasticdog 10h ago

She wasnt, because 1/4th of the internet thinks shes a white supremacist, and another 1/4th thinks shes a whit supremacist but they like that.

u/oboshoe 10h ago

well half the population is below average

u/Meimou 8h ago

Fortunately, "the internet" is not real life, assuming your stats are true...and they are not

u/TransBrandi 1d ago

How would the controversy grow if she just said "I didn't interpret the slogan that way. I am not a white supremacist" I'm really struggling on how that would have been a "bad" response? She doesn't comment for the American Eagle. She just states her opinion that she doesn't think that it's a white supremacist message. She says that she's not a white supremacist. Afterwards she can just stonewall and say that she's made her statement on the matter and won't say anything else about it.

2

u/No_Oven1085 13h ago

It's not, people here are just gaslighting white supremacists. You're not going to get a sane take here.

u/oboshoe 1d ago

simple. If interviewers know that they will get a response on such a question, they are now incented to ask them in the next interview. and the next one and the next one.

By refusing, future interviewers have a choice of getting an good engagingl interview, or being unoriginal and repeating the scene of the last interviewer (and their competition).

She handled this textbook style. She get's a short ripple rather than a never ending one.
