Sweeney Ads Spark Political Divide | JQJO

Actress Sydney Sweeney is facing backlash over an American Eagle jeans ad, with accusations of promoting eugenics. The controversy has drawn in the White House and President Trump, who praised the ad. Amidst the furor, an older Baskin-Robbins ad featuring Sweeney has resurfaced and gone viral, with many celebrating it as a counterpoint to the criticism. The Baskin-Robbins ad, launched in June 2025, features Sweeney enjoying ice cream and promotes a limited-time menu of her favorite flavors. The positive reception of the Baskin-Robbins ad stands in stark contrast to the negative response to the American Eagle campaign.
