The “Anyone But You” star sparked a “woke” reaction from many social media users, who took issue with the ad’s “great jeans” pun — a playful phrase that some have suggested might carry racially insensitive undertones.

Since its debut, the commercial has fueled an ongoing discussion about how brands use wordplay, especially the campaign’s use of the phrase “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.”, which has been interpreted in very different ways by the public.In response to the swirling debate, American Eagle released a statement firmly standing by the ad and defending its original creative vision.

“This campaign is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her narrative. We will continue to honor the unique ways everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence,” the company stated in defense of the campaign. “Great jeans flatter everyone.”

The brand made it clear that their main focus was, and continues to be, on showcasing their fashion line rather than engaging with any other interpretations people might draw from the ad.As for the “White Lotus” actress, she has chosen not to address the controversy publicly and has remained silent throughout the heated online discussions.

This all unfolded just days after former President Trump chimed in on the conversation, calling the ad “fantastic” upon learning that Sweeney is registered as a Republican voter.

“Oh, now I adore her ad … If Sydney Sweeney is registered, I think her ad is fantastic,” Trump added over the weekend, making his stance on the matter clear.
