“Madame Webb” star Sidney Sweeney remains a mother over allegations of promoting eugenics via American Eagle ads, which appears to have sparked even more support from far-right figures after recently gaining the favor of President Trump.
The black and yellow banner covering the coronavirus 91 highway sign boldly states, “a proud boy loves Sydney Sweeney,” according to a photo shared with ABC7 by a coronavirus resident.
Banners using Neo-Fascist Group’s signature colors also refer to Hot Button American Eagle ads. “She has the best blue genes,” says Banner. Be careful of “genes” rather than “jeans.” It is worth remembering that during the 2020 presidential debate, President Trump ordered proud boys to “facing and confronting” when he was forced to condemn violent extremists on the right.
According to ABC7, it is unclear who posted the banner with the far-right group name.
Sweeney’s representatives did not immediately respond to Times’ request for comment on Friday.
Earlier this month, jeans retailer American Eagle dropped a series of commercials for its latest campaign featuring the “Euphoria” star. In one ad, the blonde Emmy-nominated actor said, “The genes are passed on from his parents to offspring, often determining traits such as hair color, personality, and even eye color. My jeans are blue,” she says.
The poster for the American Eagle campaign was completely innovative about “jeans” and genes, and also featured a wordplay that I’ve never seen before. The slogan reads, “Sydney Sweeney has great genes.” The last word disappeared and was replaced by “jeans.”
Sweeney, who appears to prefer odd marketing opportunities, claims that the ads quickly face criticism of social media, with users leaning towards the language of eugenics. Eugenics is an unreliable practice that essentially touted the idea of improving humanity through selective reproduction. It gained traction in the early 20th century, when Hitler’s Nazi Germany was used as a legitimate reason to wipe out millions of Jews, and US authorities were used by US authorities to forcefully sterilize more than 60,000 people in California and people from more than 30 other states.
To calm his anger, American Eagle posted a statement saying that its campaign was “about jeans and is always there.”
Sweeney and the American Eagle Campaign found support, especially among the conservative crowd. It wasn’t the first time for the 27-year-old “Immaculate” actor. A few days after the ad was removed, her recent voter registration history resurfaced, revealing the announcement that she registered as a Republican in June 2024.
“Sidney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the ‘hottest’ ads. It’s for the American Eagle, and the jeans are “flying off the shelf.” Get Sydney! ” he posted on Monday. In an earlier version of his post, Trump mistakenly called the actor as “Sidney Sweeney.”
He also used the post to unravel brands that claimed to be using “awakening” marketing, such as Jaguar and Budlight. Trump also couldn’t resist throwing shade at pop star Taylor Swift, who openly recognized Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
In the discourse of fashion flaka and social media, neither Sweeney nor American Eagle seemed to have lost anything.
Sweeney shrugged her latest controversial match last week after being spotted doing karaoke with her Santa Monica’s “Euphoria” co-star. She also slammed the red carpet on Monday to promote her latest film, “Americana,” from screenwriter Tony Tost.
Meanwhile, American Eagle saw a surge in stock this week.
