"I think that when I have an issue that I want to speak about, people will hear."
"The criticism of the content, which was basically that, maybe specifically in this political climate, like white people shouldn't joke about genetic superiority," a GQ reporter asked Sweeney. "Like that was kind of like the criticism broadly speaking. And since you are talking about this, I just wanted to give you an opportunity to talk about that specifically."
"I think that when I have an issue that I want to speak about, people will hear," Sweeney responded. It is the first time that Sweeney spoke about the he ad that sparked so much backlash. The ad featured the blonde, buxom actress wearing American Eagle jeans and saying that she had "good genes" and "good genes" in a play on words.
“I did a jean ad,” the actress said, noting that she was "surprised" by the amount and duration of the backlash. “I mean, the reaction definitely was a surprise, but I love jeans. All I wear are jeans. I’m literally in jeans and a T-shirt every day of my life."
“I kind of just put my phone away,” Sweeney said about the viral ad. “I’m working 16-hour days and I don’t really bring my phone on set, so I work and then I go home and I go to sleep. So I didn’t really see a lot of it."
