Sydney Sweeney frolics with mystery man as American Eagle drops provocative new ad
Sydney Sweeney turned heads once again, but this time it wasn't for a pair of American Eagle jeans. Sweeney, 27, showed some skin while enjoying an afternoon on the water Friday with friends and family, including a new mystery man, months after ending her engagement to fiancé Jonathan Davino. The "White Lotus" star slipped into a black swimsuit and life vest while riding a Jet Ski on a lake after American Eagle dropped a provocative new ad starring Sweeney. Sweeney looked at ease as she walked across a dock wearing a simple black one-piece. Her dark blonde hair was worn naturally wavy, and she stayed safe with a life vest strapped across her chest. The pair jumped on the back of a Jet Ski together, with Sweeney taking the lead on an adventure through the waves. Sydney and her mystery man pulled over for a quick pit stop to climb and rope swing off a cliff before jetting back to a lake house. Earlier this year, Sweeney confirmed she was once again single after calling off her engagement to Davino after three years of dating. "I'm learning a lot about myself, spending more time with my friends. And I'm loving it," she told The Times. Thrill-seeking aside, the "White Lotus" star's recent collaboration with American Eagle for its fall clothing campaign, "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans," has sparked a mix of reactions on social media. While some have described the campaign as "tone-deaf" due to alleged racial undertones, others have praised the actress for killing "woke" advertising. In a promo video posted to the brand's Instagram, the 27-year-old "Euphoria" star walked toward an AE billboard featuring her and the tagline "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Genes." Sweeney crossed out "Genes" and replaced it with "Jeans" before walking away. According to Salon, the term "great genes" was historically used to "celebrate whiteness, thinness and attractiveness." While some fans called out the "entirely tone-deaf" approach and compared the ad to "nazi propaganda," others came to Sweeney's defense. "It doesn't hurt ANYONE. That's the point. It's literally an advertisement for jeans. Not for nazism," one person wrote. "Woke advertising is dead. Sydney Sweeney killed it," one user wrote on X. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sweeney will appear on various 3D billboards across the United States, including at the Sphere in Las Vegas. There will also be a Snapchat lens for which Sweeney will speak directly with users in addition to AI-enabled "try-on technology so customers too can have great jeans." Additionally, 100% of the net proceeds from Sweeney's "Sydney Jean," which is embroidered with a butterfly to represent domestic violence awareness, will be donated to Crisis Text Line, a nonprofit that provides free and confidential text-based mental health support and crisis intervention. Representatives for Sweeney and American Eagle did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Pedro Pascal Backlash, Explained
When I first heard there was backlash against Pedro Pascal, I was terrified. Surely, only some disastrous scandal could have prompted any outrage against everyone's current Hollywood crush. Oh, how wrong I was. It turns out the Pedro Pascal backlash isn't due to any offensive joke or impropriety, it's has anxiety and supports LGBTQ rights. Confused? Allow me to explain. The Pedro hate began last week, leading up to the premiere of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, when the actor gave an interview with Men's Health on managing anxiety. In the interview, he said that he tends to rely on others—friends, family—and is 'always one to reach out when I'm facing something that is challenging or making me anxious.' He continued, saying that when he found himself falling into patterns of doom scrolling and anxiety in 2020, 'I had to go back to what was always the comfort for me in my life, which was engagement in my relationships, my friendships, and conversation and shared experience.' Anyone who has ever had any kind of acute mental health issue will tell you that one of the first things a therapist or counselor will instruct you to do is to create an action plan, which usually involves listing at least two people you can call in a crisis. Calling friends or family in times of trouble is not unusual, nor is it inappropriate. Unless you ask anti-trans activist Posie Parker (not to be confused with our White Lotus queen, Parker Posey). 'He never gets the anxiety gropes around men, does he?!' Posie (real name Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull) tweeted last week. She also shared a video of Pedro posing with his Fantastic Four co-star Vanessa Kirby, his hand moving up and down her arm as he looked for the best placement for the photos. While you and I might look at this video clip and think, 'Pedro Pascal is just like me, he also doesn't know what to do with his hands in photographs!' Posie apparently looked at it and related it back to the actor's quote saying he likes to 'reach out' to those close to him when he's anxious. Is it worth pointing out that when Pedro was talking to Men's Health, he was clearly using the phrase 'reach out' to mean that he contacts his loved ones? Or that there is nothing inherently wrong with seeking physical comfort from consenting adults? Yes, but logic is clearly not at the forefront here. A wave of trolls soon followed, hopping on the bandwagon to accuse Pedro of being inappropriately touchy with certain female co-stars. (I have included tweets for proof, not endorsements.) It's worth noting that there have been no public allegations or proof of any unwanted physical affection at all. To my knowledge, Pedro has never been accused of being inappropriate (physically or otherwise) with anyone, on set or off. What Pedro is guilty of, however, is being a vocal advocate for trans rights, which many suspect is why Posie chose to target him in the first place. In fact, TERFs and other anti-trans activists have been trying to get this fake scandal going for months, ever since Pedro called out J.K. Rowling's 'heinous loser' behavior in April after she celebrated an anti-trans ruling UK Supreme Court ruling. As noted by Vanity Fair, following Pedro's comments, fans of the Harry Potter author attempted to smear Pedro using a clip of him reaching for Vanessa Kirby's hand at last year's Comic-Con, accusing him of being inappropriate. 'What happened is we were both incredibly nervous going out in front of thousands of people who love this comic,' Vanessa later told Vanity Fair. 'He wanted me to know that we were in this together, and I found it a lovely gesture and was very glad to squeeze his hand back.' Which brings me to my final point, and the point many Pedro defenders are making online: There is a difference between being openly physically affectionate and groping someone without their consent. By pretending we don't know the difference, you are making it easier for actual harassers to get away with inappropriate, nonconsensual behavior. Now, unless you have any substantial allegations, would you please leave our fave internet daddy alone?

Sydney Sweeney cosies up to mystery man at lakehouse after ending engagement
Sydney Sweeney, known for her roles on Euphoria and the White Lotus, was seen spending time with a mystery companion recently following the news of her split from her ex-fiancé Actor Sydney Sweeney has sparked romance rumours after being spotted getting "close" to someone whilst spending time with family and friends. It comes after the White Lotus star announced the end of her engagement to her ex. Sydney, 27, had been in a relationship with her 'producing partner' Jonathan Davino, 42, for seven years. The Emmy nominee, who's starred in films like Anyone But You (2023), however confirmed in an interview earlier this year that they had separated, three years on from getting engaged. Over the weekend, she was spotted soaking up the sun at her family's lake house in Idaho. Photos from the occasion have sparked rumours of a potential new romance, with Sydney seen spending time with an unidentified individual. Photos, published by the Daily Mail, show Sydney in a black bikini whilst at the lake with family and friends. She was seen venturing away from the group to spend some time with her companion, including on a jet ski together. She's seen steering the watercraft in the photos whilst he sat behind her and held onto her waist. Sydney, who like him was wearing a life jacket, appeared to be in good spirits as she glided through the water at the property, with her seen smiling in some photos released earlier today. Sydney, who is said to have been blushing at times, was also spotted with her companion in another area at the lakehouse that featured a rope swing. Sydney was seen using the swing as the other person watched on nearby. Sydney announced that she was single in an interview with the Sunday Times that was published back in May. It came following much speculation over her long-term relationship with film producer Jonathan in recent years. They had been together for seven years and were thought to be getting married this year. Sydney and her former fiancé are said to have split up in January though and called off their wedding, which was expected to be in May. Amid speculation about their relationship earlier this year, a source told Us Weekly that Sydney is "extremely busy" with her career. Her latest projects include the Housemaid; the film adaptation of the acclaimed novel by Freida McFadden. The source suggested that Sydney's career added tension to her relationship with Jonathan. They said: "Things are also always tense between them when she is promoting a movie because she has to give her full attention to the project, and people always speculate about their relationship and Sydney being close to her costars." Euphoria star Sydney later confirmed their break-up in the interview with the Sunday Times. Speaking about being single, she said at the time: "I'm learning a lot about myself, spending more time with my friends. And I'm loving it."

How American Eagle's Sydney Sweeney ‘Good Jeans' ad went wrong
Last Wednesday, American Eagle announced its new ad campaign called 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.' Stocks have soared since the ads featuring the 'White Lotus' and 'Euphoria' star dropped. The title — read as a tagline at the end of several social media videos — provoked a flurry of online discourse before the denim line has even hit stores. Reactions ran the gamut from glee to accusations that the ads promoted eugenics.
