Actress Sydney Sweeney has once again sparked heated online debate, this time over her political affiliation, just days after her American Eagle jeans campaign stirred controversy.
According to public voter registration records, The White Lotus star has been a registered Republican in Monroe County, Florida, since June 2024. The revelation quickly spread online, coinciding with the backlash surrounding her latest American Eagle advertisement, which critics claim promotes white supremacy and Nazi-inspired propaganda.
In one viral ad clip, the 27-year-old actress wears a denim outfit while discussing how genes can influence traits like hair color, personality, and eye color. At one point, Sweeney playfully says, “My jeans are blue,” as she gazes at the camera, followed by the narrator’s line: “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.” The wordplay between “genes” and “jeans” drew sharp criticism, with many accusing the campaign of using coded language tied to extremist ideologies.
Online reactions were swift and divided. One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “She pretends to stand with women, yet votes against their rights and freedoms. Claiming solidarity while actively working against the very people she claims to support.” Another commenter said, “I’m shocked this is shocking news,” while a third added, “Mind you, her WHOLE family is MAGA.”
The latter remark referenced a 2022 controversy in which Sweeney faced criticism after photos from her mother’s 60th birthday party surfaced. Guests were seen wearing red caps reading “Make Sixty Great Again” and “Blue Lives Matter” shirts—slogans often associated with conservative movements.
At the time, Sweeney addressed the backlash in an interview with Variety, explaining that the MAGA-style hats were worn by her mother’s friends, who “thought it would be funny.”
Despite the criticism, Sweeney has not publicly commented on her recent voter registration revelation or the accusations surrounding the American Eagle campaign. The actress, who has built a reputation for her breakout roles in Euphoria, The White Lotus, and Anyone But You, remains a polarizing figure as debates about her political stance and brand partnerships intensify online.
Whether this controversy will impact her career or future endorsement deals remains to be seen, but for now, Sydney Sweeney continues to dominate headlines—for reasons beyond her acting work.
