Sydney Sweeney has been on everyone's lips for months. The 26-year-old actress has become one of the great promises of American television and cinema. She has already shone and demonstrated her talent in productions such as Euphoria, The White Lotus or The Voyeurs and is one of the most promising young actresses. quoted today.
However, there are those who do not fully understand it, and that is precisely what happened to Hollywood producer Carol Baum, responsible for films such as Father of the Bride; who during the screening of another of her films, Dead Ringers (1988), did not hesitate to criticize Sweeney, stating that she did not understand how she continued working. "She's not pretty, she doesn't know how to act," she said.
In the face of criticism, Sweeney remained silent, but comments against Baum - who also teaches at the USC School of Cinematic Arts - from the industry were immediate, calling the production company "sexist." The 81-year-old producer apologized and said she regretted her comments.
However, Sweeney did want to "say" something about it. The actress shared some images enjoying an idyllic vacation in Mexico, and among the snapshots, one in which the protagonist of Anyone but You can be seen wearing a sweatshirt that reads: "Sorry for having big tits and opinions correct."
In the other images, you can see the actress dancing and enjoying the beach with her friends. However, although her intentions were to settle the comments made by Baum and the controversy, her almost 20 million followers did not seem to be satisfied with this peculiar response.
"Do you really apologize?" asks an Instagram user. "That shirt says it all. Shout out to the haters," says another. "Big tits, even bigger heart," a third tells her.
Sweeney's statement of intent comes after responding to Baum through her representative, stating that it was very "sad" that the producer decided to "attack another woman." "If that's what she's learned from decades in the industry and she feels it's appropriate to teach her students, she leaves a lot to be desired."
Her colleagues, in addition to Sweeney's acting teacher, Scott Sedita, have defended the actress, ensuring that she has always been very "serious" in her work.
