Sydney Sweeney’s Instant rise to fame under scrutiny; Will her Net Worth be affected by the ‘American Eagle’ Campaign? 

Sweeney had her big breakthrough in ‘Euphoria’ after making Netflix Rom-Coms and making headlines with her recent campaign that is intended to sell more than ‘Jeans’.

Apart from gathering attention from the internet since her breakout role in ‘Euphoria’, American actress Sydney Sweeney has now placed herself in a controversy that might do a little more damage to her fame game and her net worth as well. 

Sydney Sweeney hoisted to fame post ‘Euphoria’ by booking the successful Netflix Rom-Com ‘Anyone But You’, ‘Madame Webb’ and more has been no stranger to media attention and being the center of social media talks. Now the internet is debating about the actress, not entirely in a good tone. 

The actress did a new campaign with the famous clothing brand ‘American Eagle’ promoting their new range of Jeans, only the said ‘Jeans’ was a play on the word ‘Genes’, stirring the rumour pot that is more dark than anyone imagined. A ‘Eugenic Campaign’ as many perceived, the ad has the actress talk about her inherited traits from her lineage, like ‘inheriting her mom’s eyes, her smile from her grandma’ and eventually ‘their great jeans’. 

The seemingly plain and cheeky campaign that not just boasts Sweeney’s physicality but also exudes how her ‘American’ genes is being celebrated as ‘great’ only using subtle wordplay. Called as a Nazi propaganda, the ‘American Eagle’ ad does not just discuss ‘her great genes’ of people but also posts ‘white supremacy beauty’, as many debates and commentary reflect online. 

Many internet users found the campaign to be tone- deaf and surprisingly layered with darker motifs, intended or not, but given the current political climate in the US. Sweeney was already busted for similar ideology spread as she posted her all american birthday celebration only to plaster her family.
