Backlash Erupts Over Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle Photoshoot Amid Political Controversy and Comparisons to 2009 Campaign
The debate surrounding American Eagle Outfitters' "Great Jeans" campaign featuring Sydney Sweeney does not appear to be slowing down. Over the course of more than 10 days, advertisements with "The White Lotus" actress are generating news coverage and social media rebukes. U.S. President Donald Trump has fueled the eugenics controversy during the weekend and David Lipman, a veteran advertising creative director on Monday, suggested to suggest that this American Eagle campaign recreated the look he created in 2009 when he collaborated by collaborating with Georgia May Jagger for Hudson Jeans. When a reporter revealed the voter registration status of Sydney Sweeney, Trump commented on Truth Social and called her the most talked about and viral ad campaign on the market. Trump acknowledged the great jeans genes ad and said it was flying off the shelves and encouraged Sydney to keep up her efforts. A media inquiry for the U.S. Office of Government Ethics seeking to know if Trump endorsement was in line the rules regarding "Endorsing Organizations, Products or Persons" was not acknowledged on Monday. American Eagle's stock surge 23.5 percent to close at $13.28. This is a significant increase compared to Friday which saw it drop by just a fraction of 1. At 27years old, Sweeney's Instagram following has risen to 25 million by Friday night, to 25.2 million. Additionally the popularity of her American Eagle campaign video has grown to 1.3 million views and attracted between 36,600 to 57,600 responses an increase of 57,600 from 5,483 posts earlier during the same time. Based on Susan Scafidi, founder and director of the Fashion Law Institute at Fordham University If Sydney B. Sweeney registered as an Republican within Florida was the exact person that is being discussed as a possible candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, then party operatives could be forming narratives that have white supremacist themes.

Vivek Agnihotri breaks silence on multiple FIRs filed against The Bengal Files: 'They are challenging our guts, courage'
Filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri is facing mounting legal heat ahead of the release of his upcoming film 'The Bengal Files'. In a video statement, Agnihotri revealed that multiple FIRs have been filed against him and the film by members of the ruling party in West Bengal. Despite the pressure, he remains defiant and plans to launch the trailer in the state itself. 'The ruling party of West Bengal and their members have been filing so many FIRs against us in different cities. That is their strategy. I was quiet and did not share this information with anyone because we were taking the legal course. I have great faith in Indian judiciaries, especially Calcutta High Court,' he said. 'The Calcutta High Court has given us a stay on all these FIRs, but as the case was being heard in the High Court, at the same time, they filed more FIRs. The ruling party wants to trap us with so many legal hassles and battles so that we cannot focus on the promotion of the film. This strategy has been deployed by them for a very long time.' Agnihotri also detailed the challenges of making the film. 'I must tell you it's one of the most defining and important films. It uncovers many dark chapters of our history.' He added, 'I have finished the film. It has taken a lot from us. We have put in whatever we had to make this very difficult film. We were not allowed to shoot in Bengal. We had to shoot the entire film in Bombay. Now, with our limited resource, we want this film to reach every citizen of India.' He concluded the video by saying, 'This is people's film. It is your film. I want you to support us. I want you to expose all those agencies and powers who do not want this film to come out. They are challenging our guts and courage. They want to see how we are going to fight. We are alone while they have the state power. But I have taken this challenge and I am going to release the trailer of the film in West Bengal. Nobody can silence me because nobody can silence the truth.' The Bengal Files, originally titled 'The Delhi Files: The Bengal Chapter', is an upcoming Hindi-language film directed by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri. It serves as the third and final instalment in Agnihotri's 'Files Trilogy' on modern Indian history, following 'The Tashkent Files' (2019) and 'The Kashmir Files' (2022). The film focuses on the 1946 Great Calcutta Killings. The project is set to be released in two parts. The first instalment, titled 'The Bengal Files: Right to Life', is slated to hit theatres on September 5, 2025, coinciding with Teachers' Day in India. Set against the backdrop of the 1940s, the film delves into the violence that engulfed undivided Bengal, spotlighting pivotal events such as Direct Action Day in 1946 and the Noakhali riots.
