Amy Lou Wood took to social media to share her disgust at Sidney Sweeney’s response to the controversy surrounding the American Eagle ad.
After the “Euphoria” star broke her silence in an interview with GQ published Tuesday, photographer Misan Harriman shared a clip of the conversation on Instagram.
In a caption Wednesday, Harriman, 47, criticized Sweeney, 28, for not saying he was “horrified” that the Great Jeans ad was “amplified and celebrated by unrepentant racists who believe in eugenics.”
He urged the “Christie” star to “at least recognize the harm the jeans campaign has caused” and pointed out that “the wordplay was obvious and the racists loved it!”
Harriman concluded, “So even if I didn’t know it when I shot it, I certainly know it now, and that’s important. This is different!”
Wood commented on the post with a vomiting emoji, according to a screenshot taken by the Daily Mail.
Social media users praised Mr Wood’s response, with one user writing: “I couldn’t agree more.”
Another called the ‘Sex Education’ graduate, 31, ‘the real deal’, while a third added: ‘CLOCK IT SIS’.
Representatives for Wood and Sweeney did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
Sweeney’s July ad specifically highlighted her “great jeans,” with the word “genes” crossed out and compared to Nazi propaganda at the time.
President Trump publicly endorsed the campaign, calling it “amazing” and praising Sweeney’s registration as a Republican via Truth Social.
A smiling Sweeney called the show of support in Tuesday’s cover story “surreal.”
She added, “I work, go home and sleep, so I didn’t really feel[the backlash].”
“I mean, the reaction was definitely a surprise, but…I love jeans!” Sweeney continued. “All I wear is jeans. I literally wear jeans and a T-shirt every day.”
Ahead of the GQ roundtable, Sweeney repeatedly dodged questions about the ad.
She remained tight-lipped on the topic when she spoke to the Wall Street Journal in August.
The following month, the “Immaculate” star told Vanity Fair that she didn’t attend the Toronto International Film Festival “to talk about jeans.”
In a September interview, Sweeney claimed, “I’m here to support my film and the people involved in making it. … That’s what I’m going to be there to talk about.”
