[X] In a GQ interview published November 4, 2025, Sydney Sweeney dismissed demands to apologize for her American Eagle 'Great Jeans' campaign, criticized for its pun on 'jeans' and 'genes' evoking white genetic superiority imagery. The ad, launched in July 2025, received praise from President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, while sparking divided reactions on X with over 2.9 million engagements. Despite the controversy, American Eagle reported a 38 percent sales increase following the campaign.
