CONTROVERSY EXPLOSIVE: Sydney Sweeney’s brother Trent makes BLUNT STATEMENT about controversy surrounding her American Eagle ad
Sydney Sweeney’s brother, Trent Sweeney, isn’t fazed by the backlash to her American Eagle campaign ad.
Trent, who is in the US Air Force, weighed in on the controversy involving his famous sister on his Instagram on Wednesday.
The 25-year-old posted a photo on his Instagram Stories of his official certification as he was promoted to staff sergeant, and jokingly wrote, “It’s them good jeans 🥸.”

The “Euphoria” star is close with Trent and their parents, Steven and Lisa.
“I love my family, and I love where I came from,” she told Women’s Health in 2023. “Anything my family needs, I’m always there for them.”

Sydney recently participated in a jeans ad for American Eagle that sparked an intense public reaction.
Left-wing critics users claimed that the ad — which features the tagline “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans” — was full-on Nazi propaganda that promotes racism, eugenics and Western beauty standards.
In one promotional clip, Sydney explains that genes are passed down from parents to offspring, “often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color,” before declaring, “My jeans are blue.”

The ad included “clever, even provocative language” and was “definitely going to push buttons,” the company’s chief marketing officer told trade media outlets.
American Eagle responded to the discourse with a public statement in which the company defended its creative choices.
“This campaign is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her narrative. We will continue to honor the unique ways everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence,” the company said. “Great jeans flatter everyone.”

President Trump even weighed in on the ad, praising it as “fantastic” after finding out that Sydney is a registered Republican voter.
Vice President JD Vance also ripped Democrats for becoming unhinged over a “pretty girl” selling jeans to kids in America.
Sydney has not spoken out about the backlash.
The “Anyone But You” actress made her first public appearance since the ad came out on Sunday night at a screening of her upcoming film “Americana” in Los Angeles.

At the viewing, Sydney was heckled by a disgruntled fan who shouted that she should “Stop the ad, that is being racist!,” TMZ reported.
Sydney didn’t respond and disappeared into her vehicle.
