00:00Sydney Sweeney finally just broke her silence on surreal American Eagle Jeans ad controversy.

00:07Sydney Sweeney has gone viral for many reasons, from shutting down affair rumors with Glenn

00:11Powell to launching a soap made with her own bathwater.

00:15But her new American Eagle Jeans ad has sparked the most surprising reaction yet.

00:19The ad features Sydney talking about genetics before joking that her great genes are blue.

00:25The pun divided the internet.

00:27Some called it witty, others accused it of pushing hidden messages.

00:31The debate spiraled when Sydney's alleged voter registration and home address were leaked,

00:36turning a denim ad into a worrying privacy issue.

00:39When GQ asked how Sydney felt about the response to the ad, she said,

00:43I did a jean ad.

00:44I mean, the reaction definitely was a surprise, but I love jeans.

00:49All I wear are jeans.

00:51I'm literally in jeans and a t-shirt every day of my life.

00:55Doubting that hearing President Trump praise the ad was surreal.

00:58The American Eagle campaign featured Sydney hyping up her favorite denim before a voiceover

01:03declared she has great jeans.

01:05The wordplay ignited a huge debate, with some social media users comparing it to Brooke Shields's

01:10infamous 1980 Calvin Klein ad.

01:13Others accused it of political undertones, calling it tone-deaf or even propaganda.

01:19Former President Donald Trump also weighed in, posting,

01:22Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the hottest ad out there.

01:27His comments added another layer to the already polarized conversation.

01:31In response, American Eagle clarified, Sydney Sweeney has great jeans is and always was about

01:36the jeans, her jeans, her story.

01:39They emphasized that the campaign was about celebrating individuality and self-confidence, not politics

01:45or controversy.

01:47Sydney's controversy underscores the darker side of viral fame.

01:51Like Taylor Swift, who faced a stalker incident this year, Sydney's experience proves that

01:55leaking a celebrity's address isn't fandom, it's danger.

01:59Whatever your opinion is on the ad, one thing's clear, privacy should never be a punchline.
