Sydney Sweeney Slams Women Empowerment in the Industry as Being “Fake”

As a dedicated follower and admirer of Sydney Sweeney, her recent words resonate deeply with me. Her experiences mirrors my own journey in the industry, where I too have encountered the “fake” female empowerment that she describes. The harsh reality is that behind closed doors, many women don’t practice what they preach, tearing others down instead of lifting each other up.


Women’s empowerment in Hollywood isn’t as immaculate as it may seem, according to Sydney Sweeney.

Actress from “Euphoria” criticized the perceived false trend of female empowerment in the film industry, stating that in her observations, not all women consistently uphold the values they advocate for privately.

Sydney expressed her disappointment in seeing women criticize other women, especially when accomplished professionals in their field undermine the efforts of rising talents who are striving hard for success. This is particularly disheartening as these young artists aspire to fulfill their dreams, yet face attempts to belittle and discredit their work by more established figures.

She went on to remark, ‘The whole sector is often described as ‘women helping women,’ but in truth, none of this support is materializing. It’s just a facade, masking the many unkind things they whisper about others when they think no one is listening.’

The 27-year-old went on to share her theory behind why this has been the case for her.

Sydney clarified, “There are countless research findings and varying viewpoints concerning this topic. From what I’ve gathered in my reading, it seems that throughout history, we’ve been conditioned to think that only one woman should occupy a leading position, which is a problem that spans generations.

The actor from “Anyone But You” further stated, “There’s one unique woman who has the potential to win his heart.” He continued, “She can be flexible and adaptable, so the others might feel compelled to compete or undermine her. Instead, they should support each other, lifting one another up rather than tearing each other down.

Sydney mentioned that she’s “still working on understanding” the inner workings of Hollywood, stating, “I’m simply doing my best. Why am I being criticized?

In response to queries regarding Sydney’s reaction to recent remarks by “Father of the Bride” producer Carol Baum, the founder of Fifty-Fifty Films shared straightforward opinions.

Later on, she openly criticized Sydney’s film “Anyone But You,” stating it was hard to watch. In front of a crowd during an April screening of one of her own films, she expressed her opinion that the actress lacked beauty and acting skills.

Soon after, Sydney’s team responded to the producer’s words.

It’s regrettable that a woman with valuable knowledge and insights decided to criticize another woman instead of sharing them, according to her representative’s statement to TopMob News. If this behavior represents what she has learned during her long career in the industry and considers it suitable to pass on to her students, it’s disgraceful.

The implication here is clear: “It reveals a lot about Ms. Baum’s personality when she unfairly criticizes another female producer.

Previously, Sydney pondered about handling the attention and examination that accompanies being in the spotlight.

She mentioned during the interview on Today in March that she needs to handle each day as it comes and continue being true to herself, acknowledging that it’s not easy or normal for her, but she is working hard to find a way to manage everything.
