White Lotus Star Aimee Lou Wood Criticizes Sydney Sweeney
British actress Aimee Lou Wood publicly criticized fellow The White Lotus star Sydney Sweeney on social media, sparking surprise among fans. The 31-year-old actress reacted after celebrity photographer Misan Harriman posted a clip from a new GQ interview with Sweeney.
Controversy over American Eagle Campaign
In the interview, Sydney Sweeney dismissed backlash related to her American Eagle advertisement featuring the slogan "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans." The campaign drew criticism for its perceived racial undertones.
"Presuming that you are not a white supremacist, at least say how horrified you were by how this campaign was amplified and celebrated by unrepentant racists who believe in eugenics," Harriman wrote.
"At least recognise the harm your jeans campaign has caused black folk. The undertone of the campaign is that your genetics are superior to others - the play on words is clear as day and racists LOVED it!"
"So, presuming you didn’t know when you shot it, you certainly do now, and it matters. This ain’t it!"

After seeing the clip and reading Harriman's message, Lou Wood reacted with an emoji depicting someone vomiting. Her response quickly gained traction on social media, where fans shared the exchange widely on platforms such as Reddit and Twitter.
