Sydney Sweeney Getting ‘the Last Laugh’ As Career Continues to Soar Despite Multiple Controversies

Sydney Sweeney of TV’s Euphoria and big-screen rom-com Anyone but You fame has plummeted from showbiz “It” girl to human piñata following a series of “innocent blunders,” insiders tell the National Enquirer.

“If there’s one thing Hollywood excels at, it’s putting someone on a pedestal and then taking them down one shot at a time,” says an insider.

The 28-year-old star’s tongue-in-cheek “great jeans” campaign for American Eagle was branded controversial and the blond, blue-eyed actress was blasted for promoting eugenics, a theory about genetic superiority. The jeans quickly sold out despite — or perhaps because of — the brouhaha.

In August 2022, Sydney sparked backlash for MAGA-style red hats at her mother Lisa’s 60th birthday bash that read “Make Sixty Great Again.”

Now Sydney’s being ripped by Taylor Swift’s army of Swifties for dating the singer’s reviled former manager Scooter Braun. In 2019, Scooter revealed his family received “numerous death threats” amid his spat with Taylor over her master recordings. Taylor seemed to urge her fans to rise up when she called Scooter a bully and manipulator.

“Taylor has since bought back the rights of all her original masters, but fans still hate Scooter, and now they hate Sydney with a passion,” says the insider.

“It’s terribly unfair to Sydney. It’s all been a series of innocent blunders. The girl can’t do anything right in the eyes of Hollywood ‘lefties!’”

Sydney reportedly got the cold shoulder from her peers at the recent Emmy Awards and made a beeline for the exit once the show ended, skipping the after-party.

According to our insider, she’s disappointed with how the Hollywood left has treated her, but she’s not interested in waging war with her critics because her fans want to see a lot more of her.

Sydney has several high-profile upcoming projects, including season 3 of the HBO drama series Euphoria, the sports drama Christy and Echo Valley with Julianne Moore and Kyle MacLachlan.

Adds the insider, “The public has clearly embraced Sydney and want to see her keep doing what she’s doing. As it turns out, she’s gotten the last laugh.”
