This comes ahead of the world premiere of her new boxing drama, Christy.\u00a0The actress stressed that she\u2019s attending the premiere to highlight the film.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Sydney Sweeney doesn\u2019t want to talk about jeans ad<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sydney Sweeney has stated that her appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival will not include any discussion of her American Eagle jeans ad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In a conversation with <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/hollywood\/story\/sydney-sweeney-christy-interview-american-eagle\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Vanity Fair;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Vanity Fair<\/a> ahead of her film Christy\u2019s premiere, she emphasized that her focus is entirely on the project and the team behind it. Sweeney said, \u201cI am there to support my movie and the people involved in making it, and I\u2019m not there to talk about jeans. The movie\u2019s about Christy, and that\u2019s what I\u2019ll be there to talk about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The comments follow backlash that began in July after American Eagle released an ad campaign with the slogan \u201cSydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.\u201d The slogan, intended as a play on words, was widely criticized for its resemblance to \u201cgood genes.\u201d Many accused the phrase of using racially charged language connected to eugenicist rhetoric.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The backlash grew as the campaign circulated on social media, sparking debate over whether the phrasing was careless or deliberate. Despite the criticism, Sweeney herself has not made any public statements about the matter. Instead, American Eagle addressed the reaction directly, releasing a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DM0tMjaTBll\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=8c0a3605-96be-4713-a9eb-69837bf3f039\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:statement;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">statement<\/a> on August 1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the statement, American Eagle stated, \u201c\u2018Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans\u2019 is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We\u2019ll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">With the discussion still swirling around the campaign, Sweeney has placed her focus on Christy. In the biographical drama, she plays the real-life role of boxer Christy Martin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Originally reported by Disheeta Maheshwari on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/news\/1658772-sydney-sweeney-jeans-ad-american-eagle-question-tiff\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Mandatory;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Mandatory<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/2025\/09\/05\/sydney-sweeney-jeans-ad-american-eagle-question-tiff\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Sydney Sweeney Deflects American Eagle Jeans Ad Questions at TIFF;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Sydney Sweeney Deflects American Eagle Jeans Ad Questions at TIFF<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Reality Tea;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yahoo is using AI to generate takeaways from this article.
