EXCLUSIVE: Kansas City Chiefs Heiress Gracie Hunt Fires Back at Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle Scandal with a Hilarious Jab

The drama surrounding Sydney Sweeney and her American Eagle jeans campaign just got a whole lot more interesting, courtesy of none other than the lovely Gracie Hunt. The 26-year-old daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt is known for being fearless and outspoken on social media, and she's not afraid to speak her mind.

In a cheeky Instagram post that has sent shockwaves through the sports world, Gracie shared a sizzling photo of herself posing in a pair of jeans (not American Eagle, but we won't get into that). The caption? "Denim days & dreamy nights. I like the view and my jeans (not American Eagles - but they are American)". Ouch, Sydney!

For those who may have been living under a rock, Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle campaign sparked outrage among some fans who accused her of promoting white supremacy through a cringeworthy "genes" joke in the commercial. The backlash was swift and merciless, with many calling out the brand for perpetuating Nazi propaganda.

But Gracie Hunt isn't one to shy away from controversy. In fact, she's embracing it head-on, poking fun at the outrage with her lighthearted post. And we can't help but wonder - is this a sly jab at Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle?

The comments under Gracie's Instagram post are priceless, with many fans praising her for keeping it real. But one comment in particular caught our attention: "I love your jeans. And your genes" from none other than Gracie's mom, Tavia Hunt (Clark's wife). Gracie responded with a cheeky reply: "Got them from my momma".

With the new NFL season just around the corner, the Hunt family will be back in the spotlight soon enough. The Kansas City Chiefs are set to kick off their 2025 campaign against the Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil on September 5 - a thrilling matchup that's sure to draw millions of fans worldwide.

But before we get too caught up in the excitement of the new season, let's talk about Gracie Hunt's love life. The stunning socialite has been keeping her romance with Derek Hunt (son of former Chiefs quarterback Trent Green) under wraps until recently. We spotted them together on multiple occasions over the summer, but it wasn't until last month that Gracie confirmed their relationship in a heartwarming Instagram post.

"I'm so happy to finally share my love life with all of you," she wrote, revealing that Derek is "my best friend". And we have to say - they do make one adorable couple! But what's next for these two? Only time will tell, but we're excited to follow their journey together.

In related news, the backlash against Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle has been intense. Fans are still reeling from the brand's "genes" joke, with many calling out the company for perpetuating white supremacy. But Gracie Hunt's Instagram post is a reminder that not everyone takes themselves too seriously - even in the face of controversy.
