Doja Cat Mocks Sydney Sweeney in TikTok Skit Over JEANS Controversy
SCANDAL ALERT: Doja Cat Claps Back at Sydney Sweeney's Racially Charged American Eagle Ad
Get ready for a juicy dose of celebrity drama as Doja Cat joins the likes of Zendaya, Storm Reid, and more in slamming Sydney Sweeney's latest campaign for American Eagle. The 29-year-old singer-songwriter took to TikTok on Monday night to poke fun at the actress's cringe-worthy ad, which has been making waves online since its release.
In a sassy video that had everyone from Twitter to X (formerly known as Twitter) buzzing, Doja Cat donned an exaggerated southern drawl and mocked Sweeney's lines in the ad. The "Paint The Town Red" hitmaker even took a swipe at American Eagle's slogan, misspelling it in her caption with a cheeky "My jeans are blee."
For those who might have missed the controversy surrounding Sweeney's campaign, let us break it down: the actress appeared in a series of ads for American Eagle, touting the brand's latest jeans collection. However, things took a dark turn when critics accused the company of promoting eugenics through its slogan – "Sydney Sweeney has good genes." Many online users saw this as a veiled nod to the racist and pseudo-scientific ideology that has been linked to Nazi propaganda.
The backlash was swift and merciless, with many calling out American Eagle for being tone deaf. However, it seems that the brand's marketing team might have underestimated the power of social media – their shares soared over 10 percent, adding a whopping $200 million to their value, according to Vanity Fair. Talk about a double-edged sword!
But not everyone is buying into American Eagle's questionable PR strategy. Doja Cat, for one, seems to be taking aim at Sweeney and the brand with her TikTok post. While some fans were left scratching their heads, wondering why the singer was joining the fray, others couldn't get enough of the drama.
One Twitter user quipped, "Why did I go onto TikTok to see Doja Cat making fun of Sydney?" while another chimed in, "Even Doja Cat is making fun of Sydney's jean ad on TikTok." It seems that the singer's sassy post was more than just a joke – it was a calculated move to poke fun at American Eagle and Sweeney.
But here's the thing: despite the outrage surrounding the campaign, American Eagle has remained eerily silent. That is, until their shares took a massive hit last week. It seems that the brand might have underestimated the power of social media – and now they're paying the price for it.
As the controversy rages on, one thing's clear: Doja Cat is not afraid to speak her mind. Whether you're team Doja or team Sweeney, one thing's certain – this drama has been the most talked-about topic online all week. And we can't get enough of it!
TheScholarlyNote.com Exclusive: We reached out to Doja Cat's team for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.
Meanwhile, American Eagle's marketing team remains tight-lipped on the controversy. When asked about the backlash surrounding Sweeney's campaign, they simply stated that "we're proud of our new collection and grateful for the attention." Yeah, sure – but at what cost?
Stay tuned for more updates on this scandal as it continues to unfold. In the meantime, let us know: are you team Doja or team Sydney?
