Sydney Sweeney retorts back to her bully.
Yes you heard that right!
The "Euphoria" actress is applauding herself back after "Father of the Bride" producer Carol Baum claimed at a recent event that Sweeney is "not pretty" and "she can't act," so she doesn't understand the excitement around her.
Baum remarked during the occasion, "There's an actress who everybody loves now, Sydney Sweeney," as reported by the Daily Mail. "I don't get Sydney Sweeney."
“How sad that a woman in the position to share her expertise and experience chooses instead to attack another woman. If that’s what she’s learned in her decades in the industry and feels is appropriate to teach to her students, that’s shameful. To unjustly disparage a fellow female producer speaks volumes about Ms Baum’s character," Sweeney's representatives talks back in a respectful yet thorny statement to the Variety.
Many, though, including a producer on Sweeney's upcoming movie "Immaculate," offered their admiration for the "White Lotus" alum in their comments.
"I'll enlighten Ms. Baum that two-time Emmy nominee Sydney Sweeney is not only one of the most talented actresses I've worked with," Teddy Schwarzman commented on X on April 17, "but also incredibly smart, kind and humble."
He went on to say, "I'm not sure why someone who claims to still be a producer would make such terribly ugly comments."
Regarding Sweeney, the 26-year-old has already talked about how to handle the scrutiny that comes with living in the spotlight and it's a learning lesson for all the industry newcomers to not to keep quiet when people in hierarchy demeans deserving talent.
"Obviously it's not natural, but I kind of just have to take [it] day by day and just keep being myself," she said in a March Today interview. All I'm doing is attempting to determine how to handle everything."
