Sydney Sweeney has become one of the most polarizing actors in recent years after her American Eagle Jeans ad, which was criticized for its pro-White undertones and references to Eugenics. However, the 27-year-old star is now generating another round of debate due to a new Emmy update. Here’s what the update is and what fans are saying about it.
Fans react to Sydney Sweeney’s new Emmys update
Sydney Sweeney has been announced as the presenter for the upcoming Emmy Awards. With the controversies surrounding the actress, this announcement, which would have been ordinary in previous years’ ceremonies, perhaps even exciting, has generated a wave of negative reactions.
Of course, not all responses were negative. As most people know, a massive fan base also came forward to support the actress during the entire ordeal involving the jeans. Many even claimed that America was returning to its roots with campaigns like that. These views were also met with a lot of criticism.
Pop Base’s X post became a ground for discussion about Sydney Sweeney presenting the Emmys. “A maga presenting a prestigious award like this… Shame on them,” one user wrote. Another user added, “I don’t want her jeans all over my award,” while a user added, “She shouldn’t even be here to begin with.”
But some fans were more positive than others. “Rooting for her,” one user wrote, while another added, “Sydney will do good.” This goes to show just how divisive Sweeney remains in the industry. After the ad campaign, the backlash continued for a while, with even some celebrities coming forward to criticize the ad. Interestingly, the White House came to defend the Euphoria actress, leading to more reactions. Though the drama grew softer over the weeks, it continues.
