POP CULTURE NEWS 164
Though it’s not a place she’s unfamiliar with, producer and actress Sydney Sweeney made headlines again this week. This time for a single answer she had in part of a larger interview with Vanity Fair. The question was about a time when, earlier this year, a “producer called your looks and talent into question.” The interviewer also makes mention of the fact that “Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Lawrence have discussed the tendency to knock women performers down when they’re at their professional peak. Why do you think that is?” In part, Sweeney’s answer reads “It’s very disheartening to see women tear other women down, especially when women who are successful in other avenues of their industry see younger talent working really hard—hoping to achieve whatever dreams that they may have—and then trying to bash and discredit any work that they’ve done. This entire industry, all people say is “Women empowering other women.” None of it’s happening. All of it is fake and a front for all the other shit that they say behind everyone’s back.” I probably have a tendency to believe this is true, though I have no basis for this other than cultural observations.
