Sydney Sweeney Shuts Down Furor Talk at Film Festival: 'It's About Christy, Not Jeans!'

SYDNEY SWENEY STEAMS OVER AMERICAN EAGLE CONTROVERSY

Get ready for some juicy Hollywood drama! Sydney Sweeney, 27, is heading to the Toronto International Film Festival to premiere her new biopic Christy, but don't expect her to dish out any dirt on the American Eagle campaign that sparked a social media firestorm over the summer.

The blonde bombshell has made it clear: she's not discussing the ad, which featured her in a pair of denim jeans and was slammed by critics for being reminiscent of "Nazi propaganda." Yeah, you read that right - some folks thought the ad was straight-up racist. But hey, American Eagle insiders claim 70% of people who saw it loved it, so maybe they just didn't get the memo?

Sydney's been busy promoting her movie, Christy, which tells the story of boxing champion Christy Martin. And let's be real, folks - she's got more important things to focus on than a bunch of haters on social media. As she told Vanity Fair, "I'm there to support my movie and the people involved in making it...and that's what I'll be talking about."

But before we get into the movie, let's give you the tea on Sydney's summer. It seems like things got pretty hot with music mogul Scooter Braun (yes, Justin Bieber's former manager) when they were spotted together at a posh wedding in Venice. A source close to the actress spilled the beans to The Scholarly Note that she and Scooter are "not exclusive" - but he wants more from her.

"Scooter wants something serious with Sydney," the insider revealed. But Sydney, on the other hand, is being very carefree about it all. In fact, she's still active on celebrity dating app Raya (but we're guessing that's just for research purposes). It seems like Scooter's got his work cut out for him if he wants to win her over.

Now, back to Christy - Sydney stars as the titular boxing champion in this passion project. And we have to say, she's really dedicated herself to the role. As the movie follows Christy Martin's rise to fame and struggles with addiction, Sydney brings a raw emotional depth that will leave you on the edge of your seat.

But don't get too attached - Christy isn't doing much better at the box office than Sydney's other recent project, Americana. The crime comedy made just $500,000 its opening weekend against a whopping $9 million budget. Ouch! As one director put it, "It got gobbled up by the zeitgeist" (whatever that means). But hey, who needs box office numbers when you've got controversy?

Sydney's co-star Halsey came to her defense on social media, urging fans to see Americana despite all the drama. And as for Sydney herself? She's just keeping it moving and focusing on Christy. It seems like she's learned one thing from all this: don't engage with haters online.

As we wait with bated breath for more scoop on Sydney's love life (are Scooter and Sydney still a thing?), the real question is - will Christy be able to buck the box office trend? Stay tuned, folks! It looks like there's plenty of drama in store for us at Toronto International Film Festival...
