Legendary and controversial showman P.T. Barnum has been credited with saying, "Any publicity is good publicity." Of course, Barnum was operating in the 1800s when he could shape the narrative and kill damaging news.

In the digital age, publicity can quickly reach a global audience. Any missteps or poor choices are out there before damage control can be done.

That's where actor and recent MAGA darling Sydney Sweeney is finding herself after publicity for her new lingerie line went awry.

Sweeney was filmed hanging bras from the iconic Hollywood sign, but now faces possible criminal charges in addition to public backlash for the publicity stunt.


Days before the January 28 debut of her lingerie line Syrn, Sweeney filmed a guerrilla marketing stunt, scaling the Hollywood sign and draping bras from its letters.

But the act brings the possibility of trespassing and vandalism charges.

According to TMZ, Sweeney obtained a permit to film near the landmark, but wasn't authorized to climb on or touch the sign.

Sweeney didn’t get much online sympathy or support for her stunt.

After her jeans ads drew backlash, Sweeney made headlines for going public with her relationship with controversial record producer Scooter Braun.

Braun, an industry veteran who has managed pop stars like Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, was at the center of the dispute that pushed Taylor Swift to rerecord four of her albums. At the time, Braun refused to sell Swift's masters back to her, prompting her to accuse him of "controlling a woman who didn't want to be associated with them. In perpetuity."

James Talarico Epically Blasts Trump And Senate Opponent Over What It Means To Be A 'Real Man'

Texas Senate candidate James Talarico criticized his opponent in November's election, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, as well as President Donald Trump in a speech about what it means to be a "real man" after facing regular attacks on his masculinity.

Trump has described Talarico as “a weird—a weird—candidate,” a line that was quickly incorporated into an advertisement from Paxton, who argued that that Talarico is unfit to represent Texans partly because of his supposed veganism. Members of the right-wing have followed suit and described Talarico as an “effeminate, estrogenetic, catty, and totally embarrassing” candidate.

Jennifer Aniston And Lisa Kudrow's Idea For A 'Friends' Spinoff Is Going Viral For All The Wrong Reasons

For decades, critics have argued that Friends benefited from a television landscape that often overlooked Black-led sitcoms telling similar stories. So when Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow recently floated the idea of a Friends spinoff called Girlfriends, many viewers saw it as yet another example of Black television history being left out of the conversation.

During Variety's Actors on Actors, Aniston and Kudrow discussed what a potential Friends revival could look like more than 20 years after the sitcom ended its original run.
