A top Hollywood executive has sparked outrage after criticizing Sydney Sweeney’s appearance and acting skills.
The 26-year-old Hollywood actress solidified her spot in the film industry following the success of her character Cassie Howard in HBO’s drama series, Euphoria. The role earned her first Emmy nomination in 2022.

Sydney was nominated once again in the same award ceremony, this time for her role as Olivia Mossbacher in season 1 of The White Lotus, in which she starred alongside Jennifer Coolidge, Connie Britton, and Murray Bartlett.
Following on from her TV drama accomplishments, the young star went on to feature in the 2023 romantic-comedy film, Anyone But You, alongside Glen Powell.
Despite the movie’s lukewarm critiques, it ended up leading the box office, accumulating more than $200 million worldwide. It also became the highest-grossing R-rated romantic comedy since 2016’s Bridget Jones’s Baby, as reported by Variety.
