Hollywood producer Carol Baum made headlines recently for her scathing comments about rising star Sydney Sweeney. During a screening of her film “Dead Ringers,” Baum didn’t hold back in expressing her lack of understanding and appreciation for the 26-year-old actress.
Baum described Sweeney’s rom-com “Anyone But You,” co-starring Glen Powell, as “unwatchable.” She questioned Sweeney’s appeal, stating, “She’s not pretty, she can’t act. Why is she so hot?” Baum’s comments sparked controversy and raised eyebrows in the industry.
In response to Baum’s remarks, Sweeney’s representative issued a statement condemning the producer’s attack on the actress. The rep called Baum’s behavior “shameful” and criticized her for using her platform to tear down another woman in the industry.
Despite Baum’s criticism, Sweeney has been making waves in Hollywood with her roles in popular projects like “Euphoria,” “Madame Web,” and “Immaculate.” The actress has garnered a strong fan base and critical acclaim for her performances.
Sweeney’s recent hosting debut on “Saturday Night Live” also addressed rumors of an affair with co-star Glen Powell during the filming of “Anyone But You.” The actress humorously debunked the gossip and credited her fiancé, Jonathan Davino, for his support in producing the film.
As the controversy surrounding Baum’s comments continues to unfold, Sweeney remains focused on her career and continues to shine in the entertainment industry.
