Sydney Sweeney opens up about “good jeans” controversy during the ‘Christy’ movie promotions

Sydney Sweeney, the talented ‘Euphoria’ star, is stepping into a new chapter of her career with her new film ‘Christy’. While the actress has been busy promoting the project, her name made headlines for her controversial jeans ad. In the ad many found the wordplay on “good jeans” and “good genes” to be insensitive racially towards people.

Her response to the controversy

In her recent conversation with The Guardian, Sweeney addressed the intense reaction surrounding the campaign. Rather than defending or condemning the brand, she spoke about the challenges of being constantly judged through others’ perspectives. She said “I think what’s interesting is I’m always myself. I’m always just me. But it’s what other people put on me that’s uncontrollable,” she said.
Explaining her stance further, she added, “Like you’re going to write this article… Then people will read it and have their own perception. So I try and be as much of me as possible, but it’s always through other people’s lenses.”

Her new project

Recently her new movie ‘Christy’ was released on November 7. The movie is about the life of boxer Christy Martin. It tells the rise of Martin in 1990s and about her husband’s attempted muder. The movie also stars with Ben Foster and Merritt Wever.
The movie, unfortunately, did not do well at the box office. According to Box office Mojo reports the movie had one of the worst release openings ever. During the first weekend after its release, it earned USD 1,3 million
She further added, “This film stands for survival, courage, and hope. through our campaigns, we’ve helped raise awareness for so many affected by domestic violence. we all signed on to this film with the belief that Christy’s story could save lives.”
