- Sydney Sweeney has responded to criticism regarding her limited edition “Bathwater Bliss” soap, which quickly sold out and now fetches high prices on the resale market.
- In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Sweeney expressed surprise at the negative reaction, noting that female fans were the main critics despite their interest in Jacob Elordi's bathwater.
- Sweeney clarified that the Dr. Squatch soap, made with her bathwater, was produced as a direct response to fan demand.
- The actor also became embroiled in a separate controversy concerning an American Eagle ad campaign that used the tagline “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Genes,” which drew criticism for its perceived link to eugenics.
- While American Eagle released a statement asserting the ad was solely about jeans, Sweeney declined to comment on this particular controversy when questioned by The Wall Street Journal.
