This commercial was not offensive at all on the Lefty's got their panties in a bunch because they thought she was talking about genes
She should have just stayed silent bc we were all starting to forget about it anyway. Making it worse for herself
She didn't write the dialogue. But the decision not to have Zoe Kravitz and Patti Harrison to do the same add released at the same time was very stupid
She has great genes! Period! People triggered by that are the problem!
🇺🇸🦅
Ngl she sounded exactly how I expected…😂 Bright as light on its last leg but she's attractive sooo she doesn't need it …. Clearly she has others speaking for her an doesn't think for saying stuff I mean I don't either but at least I know when I'm sounding dumb or in the wrong
she is great
This outrage was part of the marketing campaign. Some guys were sitting around a table talking about an ad like, "jeans, genes, wordplay?" and some other guy pointed out that would get a bad reaction in the current climate, then a third guy said, "that's just free advertising", and they ran with it. I only saw this ad because the controversy. The pushback against this caused this commercial to be shared via DM's everywhere instantly.
Nice to see women being women and not acting like they are dudes. Keep up the good work Sydney
That's enough internet for today
Glad she spoke up. People need to chill out and try and stop being Puritans
The media has brainwashed this country. Genes are passed down from generation to generation and her JEANS are blue. 😂😂😂
Now race baiters and gaslighters took it and ran with it. People are debating about what they heard, not what she said.
Honest to God people, get a life
I mean, she didn't write the script for the ad… so, the company should be the one answering questions.
This interview is from september almost 50 Days old
So fine doesn't matter what she wears
Love ms Sydney Sweeney ❤❤
….
Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard
The hottest jean ad would be from Katseye
I never knew having good genes meant looking like you have fetal alcohol syndrome. Go figure. 🤷🏽♀️
Don't mess with the girl with the far away eyes.
Gross
Well I'm definitely not buying that brand ever…so terrible advertising.
If the public outrage over this was indeed real, rather than manufactured "BAD" publicity, then I think our world has run its course and is winding down.
Human beings dominion over earth is coming to a very abrupt end, let someone else drive
Who cares. 😮
So it's rude to have blue eyes now? Insane. This isn't racism. It's word play about blue jeans and a lady with blue eyes.
Lame…and quite frankly not hot
I love Sidney Sweeney ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sydney Sweeney , 🫡 🫡 🫡, thank you for your service, keep the good work
Let's be honest being American is a nationality not a genetic category in itself. Therefore the ad is a form of nonsense then factual.
This ad was controversial only in the sense that she was white and ugly non white and ugly white liberal women got offended. I care about neithers opinion on a pretty white woman not being ashamed of her looks and nor should anyone else!
Don’t play stupid. You know what the message was and it’s f’ing stupid. Are you serious?! Priding oneself on superficial traits like eye and hair color which have little to no genetic advantage and in fact the opposite with eye color. There is a reason it’s dominant. Tired of this pathetic attempt at propaganda to inculcate the masses on the immaterial. Must be nice to be a tool bought as a puppet to be used as fit by the buyer.
I’m glad she didn’t bend the knee. Sweeney does have great jeans!!!
Only ugly people are getting mad
Beautiful young lady, let the haters hate. We give the toxic voice to big if a platform these days when we should be telling them to seek professional help if a jeans ad offense them
Now that her new film needs "minorities" to go watch it, she is coming out with a statement that doesn't even address the word play she used. I'm not buying her act of ignorance tbh, she knew exactly what she was saying and still said it.
Who's the racist here, simple hot ad about jeans and the left goes nuts, that's why the left are being left behind.
I'm so lost now this is what people are mad about? SMH
Millions of women would like to look like sydney.
