Sydney Sweeney Subtly Responds To Insults About Her Looks And Talent With NSFW Sweatshirt

The 'Anyone But You' star took to Instagram to share some photos, including a sweatshirt that seemed to be a subtle response to the recent digs about her from Hollywood producer Carol Baum.

Sydney Sweeney threw shade at critics who undermined her looks and talent by wearing a sweatshirt that said it all.

It appeared to be a response to veteran Hollywood producer Carol Baum's public disapproval of her. Baum told a New York Times film critic that Sweeney was "not pretty" and "she can't act."


The Immaculate actor co-opted a Hollywood trope about buxom women by donning a pullover sweatshirt with a 1950s-inspired graphic of a woman jump-roping.

The accompanying phrase read:

“Sorry for having great tits and correct opinions.”

The image was taken during Sweeney's recent vacation to Mexico.

The 26-year-old actor captioned the carousel of photos with:

"Good times and tan lines."


The Sydney Sweeney Updates fan site shared the image on X (formerly Twitter).

They called the actor "iconic" for her sassy fashion statement.

Here is a screenshot of the actual sweatshirt found online.

The item was suddenly on everyone's wish lists.





Sweeney continued getting fan approval.






The sweatshirt also sparked a discussion on how people are socialized to view women. 

Sweeney's representative responded to Baum's scathing comments about the actor and her 2023 rom-com, Anyone But You.

The rep issued a statement through Variety, which read in part:

"How sad that a woman in the position to share her expertise and experience chooses instead to attack another woman."
"To unjustly disparage a fellow female producer speaks volumes about Ms. Baum’s character.”

Baum, who teaches producing at the USC School of Cinematic Arts as of 2024, said she watched Anyone But You on a plane because she wanted to know "why everybody's talking about her."

She hated the film and said:

"I watched this unwatchable movie—sorry to people who love this…romantic comedy where they hate each other.”

Baum recalled asking her students to explain why Sweeney was so popular, saying:

She’s not pretty, she can’t act. Why is she so hot?’ Nobody had an answer."
"But then the question was asked, ‘Well, if you could get your movie made because she was in it, would you do it?’… That’s a very hard question to answer because we all want to get the movie made, and who walks away from a greenlight?"
"Nobody I know. Your job is to get the movie made.”

Sweeney, a two-time Emmy nominee, has previously opened up about her struggles with body image after early development.

“I had boobs before other girls, and I felt ostracized for it," she recalled.

She was also scrutinized for her racy scenes in Euphoria, which made her feel like her acting abilities were trivialized by those who were more fixated on her physical features.

But her grandparents always had her back. After seeing her nude scenes in Euphoria, they declared their granddaughter had "the best t*ts in Hollywood."

Her newfound confidence was seen in an SNL sketch that intentionally exploited her voluptuousness as a clumsy Hooters waitress.

In the same SNL episode, she told the audience she was also game for joking about her "boobs" in the opening monologue.
