Sydney Sweeney responds to criticism from Hollywood producer Carol Baum. Baum has publicly challenged Sweeney’s capabilities and appeal in the industry, particularly criticizing her role in ‘Madame Web’.
Speaking at the Jacob Burns Center in New York, Baum questioned Sweeney’s popularity. “I don’t understand Sydney Sweeney,” Baum stated, questioning her attractiveness and acting skills. She also described ‘Anyone But You’ as “unwatchable,” asking, “Why does she have so much pull?”
Sweeney responded through her representatives, expressing sadness over Baum’s comments. “How sad that a woman in a position to share her knowledge and experience would choose to attack another woman,” Sweeney remarked. She criticized Baum’s approach to mentoring, describing it as disgraceful.
Despite her harsh critique, Baum indicated a willingness to work with Sweeney, underscoring her professional commitment: “We all want to make a movie, and my job is to make a movie,” Baum said.
This incident sheds light on the challenging dynamics within Hollywood, particularly the scrutiny rising stars like Sweeney face.
