A fan heckled at Euphoria actress Sydney Sweeney as she arrived for the Americana screening in Los Angeles. Her American Eagle advertisement was attacked a few days prior.
Actress Sydney Sweeney was heckled by an angered fan after she received backlash for the controversial American Eagle advert she starred in. The Euphoria star, who was also recently outed as a registered Republican, was seen arriving at the special screening of Americana at Desert 5 Spot in Los Angeles on Sunday.
The Anyone But You actress, 27, ignored the backlash and posed for snaps wearing a cream bustier dress with a tulle skirt custom-made by Danielle Frankel. She had her blonde hair in light waves and added a cream headband to complete the look. However, as she was walking into the venue, one person was heard calling out her name.
They said: “Stop the ad! That is being racist!” as Sydney smoothly and hurriedly walked inside the venue. The American Eagle advert featured the star putting on a pair of blue jeans. It comes after Donald Trump’s mental state ‘clear to see’ as lawmakers urged to ‘act now’.

She stated in the advertisement that “genes are frequently determined by their parents to their offspring, including hair color, personality, and eye color.” My jeans are blue.
The voiceover then states, “Sydney Sweeney has great genes.” The word “genes” is removed from American Eagle’s billboard ads and replaced with “jeans” in the US.
Many claim that the campaign taps into the eugenics ideology, which states that increasing the presence of desirable traits, which have historically been associated with whiteness, could “improve” the human race.
Sir Francis Galton used eugenics to later support discrimination against people with disabilities and minority groups in the late 19th century. Although the ideology is now widely dissented, it laid the groundwork for how society defines beauty and value.
Not long after the advert was released, Sydney was outed as a registered Republican. While on the runway in Pennsylvania on Sunday evening, Donald Trump stopped to answer questions from reporters who were gathered there.
One informed the US president that actress Sydney is a Republican. “I’m glad you told me that,” he replied to the reporter before adding that the nugget of information certainly swayed his opinion on the American Eagle advert.
Trump was about to board Air Force One before departing from Allentown to return to Washington.
He was clearly surprised when he learned that Sydney, 27, was a registered Republican and said to reporters: “Oh, I love her ad.
“The number of Republicans in the country would surprise you. I wouldn’t have known that, but I’m glad you told me. I think Sydney Sweeney’s ad is fantastic if she’s a registered Republican.
