Sydney Sweeney's Soap Sensation Sparks Debate

Sydney Sweeney is no stranger to controversy, and her latest project is no exception. The Emmy-nominated actress recently opened up about the whirlwind of reactions surrounding her bathwater-infused soap collaboration with Dr. Squatch, which sold out in mere seconds.

Understanding the Buzz Around Bathwater Soap

In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Sweeney reflected on the online discourse that her soap, aptly named 'Sydney’s Bathwater Bliss', ignited. Despite her usual detachment from social media, she recognized the significance of listening to her audience, stating, "It’s vital to keep a finger on the pulse of what people are saying."

Interestingly, she noted that the majority of the comments came from women, which she found particularly intriguing. Many flocked to praise the idea behind the soap, especially a nod to a steamy scene involving Jacob Elordi from his film, 'Saltburn'.

Caught in Another Controversy: The Jeans Ad Debacle

However, Sweeney's soap isn't the only thing making headlines. She’s also faced backlash for a jeans ad with American Eagle, where she sparked outrage by stating, "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color. My jeans are blue.” This comment led some to accuse her of promoting eugenics or echoing Nazi propaganda.

The jeans ad ignited a firestorm online, compelling reactions from celebrities like Lizzo and Doja Cat, as well as political figures including Vice President J.D. Vance and former President Donald Trump, who initially claimed the ad was 'fantastic' after discovering Sweeney's political affiliations.

Now, with both her bathwater soap and the jeans ad causing waves, Sydney Sweeney undoubtedly knows how to keep the public talking—whether it’s through social media admiration or heated debates.
