On Monday, Sydney Sweeney<\/a> appeared on The Tonight Show to promote The Housemaid<\/a>. She chatted with Jimmy Fallon about her week of friendsgivings and then was confronted with\u00a0a trio of Labubus<\/a> doing\u00a0the \u201c6-7\u201d meme<\/a> onstage. What hairstyle is best suited for that kind of occasion? Sweeney opted for a thick, straight bob, and you know what? Her hairstylist is standing by it.<\/p>\n Not everyone was so into this choice. The next day, fashion commentator Blakely Thornton got on Instagram and accused Sweeney of wearing a bad wig. \u201cI don\u2019t want to keep talking about this white girl,\u201d Thornton (who has worked with The Cut<\/a> in the past) said in an Instagram Reel, adding that Sweeney\u2019s team is\u00a0\u201cdoing this shit on purpose. Why else would you go on a late-night talk show looking like Effie Trinket\u2019s lost niece \u2014 the stiffest wig this side of the Mississippi \u2014 unless you want to get read for filth?\u201d<\/p>\n Thornton did not hold back, adding that Sweeney looked like a \u201cracist Jane Jetson meets Marie Antoinette\u201d and that her red dress was giving \u201cYou got caught in a Nazi flag and added a corset.\u201d<\/p>\n While he also took some time to allude to Sweeney\u2019s American Eagle ad controversy<\/a> and her widely debated party registration<\/a>,\u00a0it was the wig comment that seems to have really ticked off someone in her circle.\u00a0Thornton later posted a screenshot of an apparent exchange with Glen Oropeza, Sweeney\u2019s hairstylist, that took place in the comments of his first post. (Oropeza\u2019s comments appear to have since been deleted.)<\/p>\n \u201cWasn\u2019t a wig but you can\u2019t get my girl\u2019s name out of your mouth. You\u2019re obsessed,\u201d Oropeza commented, per Thornton\u2019s screenshot. \u201cStiff where,\u201d he seems to have added\u00a0 in another comment, \u201cYou\u2019re doing a lot \u2026 Take a breath, diva. You can keep trying to spin a narrative, but we all know you just need click bait cuz your content is TIRED. If you need attention, just say that. Imagine caring this much about a hairstyle you didn\u2019t create and a woman who doesn\u2019t know you exist. Goodnight.\u201d<\/p>\n Thornton included his own response in the screenshot, where he wrote,\u00a0 \u201cI hope you get paid overtime for being a sycophant after 9pm PST. If so I can sign your timesheet. And you\u2019re right, Black people are tired \u2026 very much so \u2026 good luck on the rest of the press tour.\u201d<\/p>\n Unfortunately for Oropeza, he sort of lost this one. His comments are gone but memorialized by Thornton\u2019s screenshot, and he didn\u2019t manage to get a shot off that even came close to \u201cthe stiffest wig this side of the Mississippi.\u201d At least Sweeney knows there\u2019s still someone willing to stand up for her. Maybe he should get a Christmas bonus for daring to wade into the discourse.<\/p>\n Stay in touch.<\/p>\n Get the Cut newsletter delivered daily<\/p>\n Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n
