The Edge: Sydney Sweeney breaks her silence about her controversial American Eagle jeans ad

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Sydney Sweeney has broken her silence about the controversy surrounding her American Eagle jeans ad. The actress says she was surprised by the reaction and the backlash, and that the support she got from President Donald Trump was “surreal.” Sweeney explained that the ad was about great jeans, not genetics, and the reports of the ad hurting the company were untrue. The controversy stemmed from a line in the ad where she said, “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring…my jeans are blue.” Were you offended by the American Eagle ad?
