Sydney Sweeney Fires Back at ‘Not Pretty’ Comment, Producer Sorry
Sydney Sweeney‘s camp has wasted no time in clapping back at the attack on her appearance and acting by a Hollywood producer… even as the woman herself is backtracking.
A representative for the “Euphoria” actress called out Carol Baum for her recent comments who classified SS as “not beautiful” and not a good actress, saying, “How sad that a woman in a position to share her expertise and experience would choose to attack another woman instead.”
The rep added, “If Carol has learned to put down another woman during her decades in the business, and she sees fit to pass that on to her students, then that is truly shameful.” To unfairly disparage a fellow female producer speaks volumes about Ms. Baum’s character.”
Sydney’s former colleagues have also come to speak on her behalf, including producer Teddy Schwarzman, who collaborated with Sydney on ‘Immaculate’. He also responded to this blow, saying that Sydney is not only talented, but also incredibly humble and kind… and a badass scream queen too.
As for Carol herself, she’s already expressing her regret about the whole thing: She tells TMZ that she wishes she’d never made her original comments, and that shitting on an actor like that in public isn’t usually her style.
Carol, whose film credits include “Father of the Bride” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” goes on to say she’s gotten a lot of hate mail about all of this.
As you know, Sydney is currently Hollywood’s IT girl, with her roles in ‘Euphoria’ and ‘The White Lotus’ catapulting her to fame – and a slew of film roles that have followed since. She’s been in rom-coms and horror movies lately… and is a very busy little bee.
Now that someone has confronted her about something so superficial, H’wood comes to her rescue.
