Being a celebrity is not as easy as people think it would be. One can ask Sydney Sweeney, who herself has not been left untouched by the wildfire of criticism. Last year, when the actress threw a birthday party for her mother on achieving the milestone of 60, she was subjected to extreme backlash on social media. The photos she shared on Instagram showed some people sporting customized red hats that said ‘Make Sixty Great Again’. This thing made many people furious, leaving the American star to answer the mob. Now one year after that triggering incident, the Euphoria star has spilled the truth.

In her latest interview with Variety, Sydney Sweeney talked about things that make her feel terrified sometimes. Pouring her heart out, the young producer stated that fame comes with many side effects. And the thing that is more worrying for her is her family gets caught it in too. When the 25-year-old is trying to make her family experience new things, her stardom becomes a hurdle.

She recalled the day when the birthday photos of her mom in 2022 drew negative attention over the internet. The Emmy-nominated star said people misinterpreted the whole situation. “The people in the pictures weren’t even my family,” she emphasized that her father or brother were not a part of it.

According to her statement, people who wore MAGA hats were her mom’s friends from LA. They were just parents who picked up their kids’ hats and wore them, thinking it would be fun because they were going to Idaho. Before clearing things out in this interview, Sweeney slammed people back.

Sydney Sweeney dismissed the political backlash for MAGA hats

After receiving an unexpected backlash from social media users, Sydney Sweeney did not go silent into the night. Instead, the Washington native took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to shield her mom’s special day. “You guys this is wild,” she wrote on August 27, 2022. She then charged the online users for making this little celebration a controversial event.

In the end, she firmly asked all the people to stop making assumptions without having full knowledge. The actress who has never talked about her political beliefs in public could not see how people turned some sweet memories into an absurd agenda. Just like they did with her going out with Glen Powell during their time in Australia.
