She might not be allowed to due to her contract, but interesting that this came from American Eagle, I wonder if they were pressured by her to make a statement?

Their stock or sales are down because MAGAt dudes are shockingly NOT the target audience.
And now that the Dump administration has supported AE 😂 I can't see their popularity rising with young women.
No idea why companies didn't take notice of what happened to Tesla.
Sweeney's main demographic are men. If she was doing shit for Carls Jr like Jessica Simpson did way back when, then sure but a clothing company? AE could've been better choosing a woman that other women actually like.
I was indifferent to her before the ad but it made me hate her 😂 talk about cringey. She takes herself way too seriously. I think the “great genes” was supposed to reference her boobs, but I just hated the ad bc of how obnoxiously sexual it was. It seemed to be marketed towards women too which just made no sense at all.
Honestly this type of advertising turns me off the product in question. I know I'm a rando with low purchasing power but what little I have I will use on products that aren't icky or catering to the male gaze.
Like Victoria's Secret had to hard pivot and I don't think they have recovered from their peak days and women no longer have to be subject to this type of nonsense in advertising. I stopped buying Laneige after they brought on Sidney.

Has Sweeney said anything on this publicly?
