X Takes Sides As Sydney Sweeney Revels Saddening TikTok Story to Amanda Seyfried

The Hollywood fortune tellers may have just won a lottery by predicting Sydney Sweeney as the next big thing. She is everywhere. From billboards to gossip feeds and, lately, in the middle of a full-blown internet argument.
Following the brouhaha surrounding what she terms a jeans ad and audiences say otherwise, Sweeney has been receiving the shorter end of her fairy godmother's wand and Christy's box office ranking is proof of the same. Further cementing the case is Sydney Sweeney's TikTok account which as the actress revealed to Amanda Seyfried on Vanity Fair's Lie Detector Test is "full of hate", which has naturally transcended into X being full of divided opinions.

American Eagle’s campaign last summer had a tagline that read like a pun (“Sydney Sweeney has great jeans”) and audiences read it as a clumsy play on “genes.” What began as social chatter turned into a sustained controversy. This was the premise for all the ‘white supremacist’ allegations she has been facing. The domino effect? Her profiles being filled with hate.
Opening up to Amanda Seyfried during Vanity Fair’s Lie Detector Test Sweeney said, “if i am on my private tiktok, my entire for you page in either history facts or arts and crafts and if i am on my Syd’s garage page, it is sadly a lot of hate about me.”
For Sydney, whose public persona blends indie-cool with mainstream endorsements, the fallout shows how quickly an innocuous line can be weaponized in culture wars. And fans were even quicker to show how polarized they are.
Fans are divided over Sydney Sweeney’s sad confession
On X, Sydney Sweeney's confession about receiving hate on X has split fans into neat camps. Some have offered sympathy, saying online cruelty is never justified. While others are argued Sydney’s silence during the initial surge made her complicit. The net effect is a platform where nuance gets buried beneath conflicting calls for both cancellation and forgiveness.
Beyond the top reactions, the comments also target her The Housemaid co-star Amanda Seyfried, accusing her of secretly hating Sydney, further justifying the hate that Sweeney gets from all sides.
