Her Hollywood career had been soaring to ever greater heights – but things got a little bumpy for Sydney Sweeney this year.
First up was a political skirmish after pictures of her mother’s birthday party showed guests wearing MAGA hats – and though Sydney later insisted it was a joke (and that the hat logos were a tribute to her mom’s age ‘Make Sixty Great Again’), it later transpired she’d registered as a Republican in Florida, which kinda upset her fans on the Democrat side of the fence.
The timing turned out to be a bit off as she was soon dragged into a ‘eugenics’ backlash over an advert she made for clothing brand American Eagle, with the tagline ‘Sydney Sweeney has great jeans’ – interpreted by some as a play on the word genes and causing some outrage given her blonde hair and blue eyes.
Lyrics touch on claims of his ‘three-year affair’ with a costume designer, plus stories of finding sex toys stashed at his ‘Pussy Palace’ flat.
The heartbreak hit struck a chord—soaring to number 2 on the charts—though Stranger Things’ David reportedly feels ‘misrepresented’ and hasn’t publicly responded.
And there was fresh drama after the publication of her ex Kevin Federline’s memoir, You Thought You Knew, in which he described events during their two-year marriage, including allegations she’d taken cocaine while breast-feeding and that he’d woken at night to find her watching over their sleeping sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, with a knife in her hand.
He also spoke of his fears after the conservatorship over her life was removed, writing, ‘This situation with Britney feels like it’s racing toward something irreversible.
It’s become impossible to pretend everything’s OK.
From where I sit, the clock is ticking, and we’re getting close to the 11th hour.
Something bad is going to happen if things don’t change, and my biggest fear is that our sons will be left holding the pieces.’ Britney disputed the contents of the book, saying it was ‘gas-lighting’ and ‘hurtful and exhausting’.
Making an entrance alongside rapper husband Kanye West, 47, the 30-year-old Australian model ditched her black fur coat to reveal a completely transparent slip that left fans seeing literally everything (yes, her ‘tuppence’ and ‘tiddys’ were visible!).
Although it’s not the first time Bianca, famed for her fearless style, has rocked a risqué look in public, it was her blank expression—plus whispers that Ye had told her to ‘make a scene’ and ‘drop it behind you and then turn’—that had everyone buzzing.
And while Kanye kept completely covered, the moment was all the more awkward.
For us?
It’s a firm ‘no’.
