Actress Faces Backlash Over Controversial Endorsements

Nearly a month after facing criticism over her American Eagle "great jeans" ad, actress Sydney Sweeney is still aware of the public's response to her endorsements. In a recent interview, Sweeney acknowledged that it's important to stay informed about what people are saying, as it's a "conversation with the audience."

One of the controversies Sweeney has faced is the release of her Dr. Squatch soap line, Bathwater Bliss, which was marketed to men but received comments mainly from women. Sweeney found this "really interesting," especially when compared to the positive response to her "Euphoria" co-star Jacob Elordi's "Saltburn" scene, where his character's bathwater inspired products like scented candles.

The actress's remarks come nearly a month after her American Eagle "great jeans" ad faced backlash. The campaign was criticized for promoting the idea of eugenics, the belief and practice of attempting to improve the human race through selective breeding, which has been historically used to target marginalized communities.

As Sweeney continues to navigate the public's reaction to her endorsements, it remains to be seen how she will address these controversies moving forward.
