Sydney Sweeney's $1M Flop, Bathwater Soap & MAGA Jeans Drama
KEY POINTS
- •Sydney Sweeney faced a challenging week as her new film, Christy, earned only $1 million at the box office.
- •The disappointing opening coincided with backlash from her American Eagle jeans ad, which drew significant attention.
- •In a recent GQ interview, Sweeney struggled to address the controversy surrounding the ad's implications.
Sydney Sweeney, HBO's 'Euphoria' sweetheart turned accidental PR tornado, orchestrated what may be 2025's weirdest career week. Her biopic 'Christy' limped to a $1 million opening — roughly the same as a re-release of 'The Nightmare Before Christmas,' which Disney dusted off like an old vinyl. While struggling to boost that 'popcornmeter rating' on Rotten Tomatoes, Sweeney simultaneously redefined cringe with an American Eagle jeans ad so loaded it even grabbed a thumbs-up from Donald Trump, unleashing chaos about genetic superiority optics. Meanwhile, Zendaya, Hollywood's MFCEO, reportedly ghosted press events with Sydney amid whispered political beef. Oh, and let's not forget: bathwater soap sales that cannily split the internet between horny 'awooga' bros and unamused ladies. It's peak Sydney: selling herself, her brand, and possibly her bathwater – all while keeping us guessing if she's the face of conservative Americana or just really good at bad PR.
