Amidst the ongoing drama surrounding actress Sydney Sweeney and her recent advertisement for American Eagle, her brother, Trent Sweeney, has found a way to inject some humor into the situation while celebrating his own achievements.
Recently promoted to the rank of staff sergeant in the United States Air Force, Trent took to Instagram to share the news, playfully referencing his sister's controversial ad campaign. In the caption of his Instagram story, he quipped, "Its them good jeans," alongside a photograph of himself with fellow servicemen.
As reported by Breitbart, the controversy began when Sydney Sweeney appeared in an American Eagle advertisement that sparked outrage among leftists. The ad, which features the actress discussing her "genes" and jeans, was criticized by some as "Nazi propaganda."
Despite the backlash, the ad's intent was to highlight Sweeney's style and confidence, as confirmed by American Eagle in a statement emphasizing the focus on the jeans and the individuality they represent.
Social media users were quick to respond to Trent's promotion and his lighthearted jab at the situation. Comments on his post included praise for his service and playful nods to the Sweeney family's "genes" and "jeans." One user remarked, "True American genes," while another expressed gratitude for his service, adding, "And those family jeans I mean genes!"
In a related development, pop singer Lizzo joined the fray by posting a video on social media, seemingly trolling Sydney Sweeney. The clip features Lizzo performing next to a sports car, clad in a jean jacket and cutoffs, as she raps, "Bitch I got good jeans like Im Sydney." This playful jab adds another layer to the ongoing discourse surrounding the advertisement.
American Eagle has stood by their campaign, stating, "'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. Well continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone." The brand's commitment to individuality and style remains steadfast, even amidst the controversy.
The situation underscores the broader cultural debate over advertising, beauty, and the often polarized reactions they provoke.
As Trent Sweeney's promotion and humorous response demonstrate, the Sweeney family remains resilient in the face of criticism, embracing both their achievements and the lighthearted moments that arise from such public scrutiny.
