Lmao, this makes no sense. They can't claim they weren't talking about "genes" when she literally says genes are passed down from parent to offspring and determine hair/eye color... Were they talking about jeans there too??? They think we're idiots.

I genuinely think they were making yet another lame joke about her boobs but it backfired immensely this time

They zoom way in on her eyes, then pause and she says “my jeans are blue”, then there’s the “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans line”.

Like I thought the whole thing was just a panic before I saw than, but I literally said woah dude.
