Sydney Sweeney does an ad for jeans, media throws a hissy fit

Looks like this little controversy did nothing for Sweeney's new movie which just opened this last weekend, and then bombed.

Gotta be the genes.

Sidney Sweeney's AMERICANA was ignored by audiences, debuting with just $500k in 1,100 venues, just $455 per.

Now this would be an opportunity for Sidney and her marketing crew to go online have a bunch of people pretend to be liberals and than rant about the movie.  Next it would be posted all over the internet about how the liberals are trying to bully her and conservatives will go out in droves to watch the movie.  I know someone must be thinking this up right now.  Maybe I should call Sidney up and pitch this ideal.  Before long, she will be the icon of America after I get through.
