fake!

The “Anyone But You” actress recently called out BS about the industry's creepy “women empowering other women” narrative.

Sweeney should know. Back in April, veteran producer Carol Bohm came out of nowhere to attack the up-and-comer.

“It's all fake and a front for all the other shit they're saying behind their backs.”

“There's an actress that everyone loves now, Sidney Sweeney. I just can't understand Sidney Sweeney,” Baum said. grabbed. “I was watching a Sidney Sweeney movie on the plane.” [‘Anyone but You’] Because I wanted to see it. I wanted to know who she was and why everyone was talking about her. I saw this unwatchable movie – sorry to those who love it…a romantic comedy about people hating each other. ”

Baum's threat

Baum, who has appeared in such films as “Dead Ringers,'' “Father of the Bride'' and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,'' and is an adjunct professor at the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts, added: In my class, I said, “This girl is not pretty, please explain to me why she is so attractive.'' No one had an answer. ”

A representative for Ms Sweeney responded: “How sad that a woman in a position to share her expertise and experience would choose to attack another woman instead.”

“If that's something she's learned in her decades in the industry and feels it's appropriate to teach to her students, then that's shameful. It unfairly disrespects fellow female producers. That speaks volumes about Bohm's character.

Nails come off

Sweeney opened up about Bohm's egregious collusion in a recent interview. vanity fair:

“It's very disheartening to see women tearing down other women, especially women who are successful in other parts of their industry, and who are trying so hard to help young talent achieve whatever their dreams are.” Especially when you see someone trying to bash and discredit any job you do, even though you're working for them.'' That's what they did,'' Sweeney, 27, responded.

“This whole industry is saying, 'Women empowering other women.' Nothing is happening,” Sweeney continued. “It's all fake and a front for all the other shit they're saying behind everyone's backs.”

high school with money

Sweeney isn't the only star getting Tinseltown mean girl vibes. Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Lawrence have also commented on the tendency for female performers to be targeted at the peak of their professional careers.

Sweeney thinks he knows why. “I've read that all our lives we've been raised to believe that only one woman can make it to the top. Only one woman can make it to the top. I'm not like that.” I don't know, Anything. “

“Then everyone else feels like they have to fight each other or bring that woman down instead of feeling like, 'Let's all lift each other up,'” Sweeney concluded. “I'm still trying to figure it out. I'm just trying my best here. Why am I getting attacked?”
