In an interview with L’officiel USA from 2018, Sweeney was asked how she feels about going “from being a regular person” to a megastar. The Reality actress replied with an incident that happened at a Post Malone concert a few days prior to the interview. She revealed that her fans started flocking to her instead of the singer so they could “take a picture.”

Once a struggling actress who faced many financial hurdles, Sweeney was surprised by this. She even asked them why they came to her if they were there “to see Post Malone.” Regardless of her blooming successes, she remained humble in the face of such adoration.

While Sweeney has a huge loyal fanbase that she has earned with each character she portrays, not all of them love her roles. A good example of this was when somebody interrupted her dinner to tell her that they hated her “character” in The Handmaid’s Tale. This must have been heart-breaking considering the huge sacrifice Sweeney made for that very role!

Although she brushed it off as a compliment and said “thank you” to the uninvited guest, she also said that she tends to “get a lot of hate” for that particular character. After all, her portrayal of Eden Blaine in the series was incredibly convincing!
