In a recent interview, actor Sydney Sweeney explained how empowering women is just a dream in the film industry.

Actor Sidney Sweeney, who rose to fame with Euphoria and The White Lotus, has since executive produced the rom-com Anybird But You and produced the horror film Immaculate. But all the fame also came with brickbats and producer Carol Baum’s claims that she was ‘not pretty’ and ‘can’t act’. Sydney responds in one Interview With Vanity Fair.

Sydney was asked about her team’s struggles when Carroll questioned her looks and talent. The interviewer pointed out that Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Lawrence have also talked about how female actors are often disrespected at their professional peak.

Sydney replied, “It’s so frustrating to see women put down other women, especially when women who are successful in other areas of their industry see young talent working really hard – whatever dreams they have.” In the hopes of getting them over – and then tries to humiliate them and discredit all the work they have done.”

After this he called upon the industry to come forward about ’empowering women’ and termed it as ‘all fake’. “This whole industry, all the people saying “women are empowering other women.” None of that is happening. It’s all fake and just an excuse for all the other fraudsters to do what they say behind everyone’s back. Are,” she said.

In the same interview, Sydney talked about dealing with fame and said she tried to hide who she was ‘for so long’ because she wanted to protect herself a bit rather than ‘give it all away’ . She also said she ‘felt like taking the power back’ while hosting Saturday Night Live, where she poked fun at everything from the failure of Madame Web to rumors of her affair with Glen Powell.

What happened

In April this year, while discussing a screening of Carroll’s 1988 film Dead Ringers in New York, she admitted that she did not understand all the buzz around Sydney. “Let me explain this girl. she is not beautiful. She can’t act. Why is she so hot?” He said. Sydney’s representatives then told Variety, “How sad that a woman would choose to attack another woman rather than be in a position to share her expertise and experience.”

Sydney will soon star in the third season of Euphoria and Echo Valley.
