Sydney Sweeney’s Reaction To Twitter Backlash
Sweeney’s brother Trent Sweeney’s pictures that were posted on his social media had people wearing “Blue Lives Matter” T-shirts, reported People. There were other photos that showed guests wearing parody MAGA hats, printed with: “Make Sixty Great Again.” This has stirred quite a bit of talk on Twitter and Instagram.
The Euphoria actress finally broke her silence by posting a tweet stating that the situation on the internet was “wild”. She stated that the celebration was innocent and that the internet has turned it into a “political statement”. She also urged everyone to stop making assumptions. It is understandable why she did not post these photos on her account directly, owing to how Hollywood has been against Trump for a long time. Although, a person commented on her tweet, “Then you should’ve selected other pictures to post that wouldn’t be left up to interpretation in this manner. Lesson learned for you, I ‘assume.'”
