American Eagle Defends Sydney Sweeney Ad Amid Uproar: ‘Great Jeans Look Good on Everyone'
"'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans," the brand says American Eagle is standing firmly behind its Sydney Sweeney ad campaign that has caused an uproar on social media and cable news over the last few days, saying the campaign 'is and always was about the jeans.' 'We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone,' the company said on social media. More from TheWrap American Eagle Defends Sydney Sweeney Ad Amid Uproar: 'Great Jeans Look Good on Everyone' Matthew Loeb Secures Another Term as IATSE International President at Union Convention Kevin Costner's 'Horizon' Settles Breach of Contract Lawsuit Over $350,000 in Unpaid Costume Fees 'Golden Bachelor' Star Mel Owens Says He 'Deserved' Backlash Over Ageist Comments Controversy erupted online last week after Sweeney's ad started making the rounds. In the spot, Sweeney touts herself for having great jeans – a play on the actress' genes. Other billboards for the campaign show her painting over the statement 'Sydney Sweeney has great genes' with 'jeans.' Some online have called the ad tone-deaf saying it celebrates her whiteness and thinness. Many viral comments deriding the ad brought up arguments that it's not only subtly promoting white supremacy but also eugenics, and nazi and master race propaganda. This outcry led to right-wing pundits and even the White House commenting on the issue. Trump's communication manager Steven Cheung called the reaction 'cancel culture run amok.' 'This warped, moronic and dense liberal thinking is a big reason why Americans voted the way they did in 2024,' he wrote on X. 'They're tired of this bulls–t.' More to come… Watch the original ad below. The post American Eagle Defends Sydney Sweeney Ad Amid Uproar: 'Great Jeans Look Good on Everyone' appeared first on TheWrap.

Ex-Food Network star Paula Deen closes Georgia restaurants abruptly
Culinary star Paula Deen has abruptly shut off the burners at her popular Georgia restaurants. The former Food Network and bestselling cookbook author host announced Friday the sudden closure of the Savannah eatery that launched her to fame with its menu of Southern soul food staples. For nearly three decades, Deen ran The Lady & Sons restaurant with her two sons, Jamie and Bobby. The eatery continued to attract a loyal fan base long after the Food Network canceled her show amid a racism scandal. The 'Queen of Southern Cuisine' announced on Friday that she was pulling the plug on the signature restaurant, along with her shop The Chicken Box, which opened in 2023. 'Hey, y'all, my sons and I made the heartfelt decision that Thursday, July 31st, was the last day of service for The Lady & Sons and The Chicken Box,' Deen said in a statement. 'Thank you for all the great memories and for your loyalty over the past 36 years,' she continued in the note also shared on social media. The family plans to shift their focus on its four remaining eateries, the Paula Deen's Family Kitchen chain, with locations in Pigeon Forge and Nashville, Tennessee; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; and Branson, Missouri. The Deens will plan to visit the Branson outpost on Aug. 8. Deen became a household name after the Food Network debuted 'Paula's Home Cooking' in 2002. The basic cable channel pulled the plug on the show in 2013 amid fallout from a lawsuit by a former employee. A transcript of Deen answering questions under oath in a legal deposition became public, which included her admitting to using the N-word. Her expansive business portfolio cratered as brand deals with Sears, Kmart and J. C. Penney, Smithfield Foods, Walmart, Target, Caesars Entertainment, QVC and the pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk all were terminated. Publisher Random House also severed ties with Deen a year after it signed a lucrative five-book deal. She attempted a television comeback by competing on 'Dancing with the Stars' in 2015 and later served as a guest judge on chef Gordon Ramsay's 'MasterChef: Legends.' In 2020, the conservative-leaning Fox Nation began streaming 'At Home With Paula Deen.'
