Sydney Sweeney says "I'm against hate" and reconsiders staying quiet on the American Eagle jeans backlash: "My silence regarding this issue has only widened the divide."
“I was honestly surprised by the reaction,” Sweeney told People. “I did it because I love the jeans and love the brand. I don’t support the views some people chose to connect to the campaign. Many have assigned motives and labels to me that just aren’t true,” she told People. “Anyone who knows me knows that I’m always trying to bring people together. I’m against hate and divisiveness. In the past my stance has been to never respond to negative or positive press but recently I have come to realize that my silence regarding this issue has only widened the divide, not closed it. So I hope this new year brings more focus on what connects us instead of what divides us.”
It's not me, it's someone else.

She should honestly have just stayed silent. This will just make people on the right think she's bending the knee to the woke mob, and I've already seen people on the left replying to her with statements like, "Too late bitch".

Also, is she not aware that the people who decided her campaign was racist are the ones with the hate that are constantly trying to divide everyone?

Right? Like how easy would that have been to de-own earlier.

She should have said, "It's a jeans ad. If you see something else, you should seek counseling. If you look for something to offend you in everything, you'll find it, and you'll live a miserable existence."
