Streaming Giant Apologizes for Mocking Engagement Ring on "The Summer I Turned Pretty"
20 Oct
Summary
- Amazon Prime Video India mocked a woman's engagement ring, comparing it to the modest ring on the show
- The post sparked backlash, with fans defending the ring's simplicity
- Author Jenny Han agreed the ring was meant to be "modest, humble and sweet"
On October 15, 2025, a social media user named Savannah Monroe announced her engagement by posting a photo of her ring, which featured a green gemstone set in a thin gold band. Shortly after, some users on the platform posted negative comments about the size of the ring.
This sparked a response from Amazon Prime Video India, who shared a photo of the ring from the hit series "The Summer I Turned Pretty" and asked if there was "any chance your fiancé looks like this." The streaming platform's post was met with backlash, as fans largely took issue with the couple's engagement for other reasons outlined in the show, with the ring essentially getting caught in the crossfire.
Even the show's author, Jenny Han, agreed that "people were going in pretty hard on that ring," explaining that she "really wanted something that felt modest, humble and sweet" for the character Belly. In response to the Prime Video post, Monroe said she felt the platform was out of line, stating that it was "one of the happiest moments" of her life.
Following the backlash, Prime Video India issued an apology, acknowledging that their recent tweet "caused hurt" and that they would "take steps to ensure our content reflects our values of inclusivity." Neither Monroe nor Amazon Prime Video immediately responded to requests for additional comment.
