Sydney Sweeney<\/a> has responded to backlash from her promoting a soap infused with her bathwater.<\/p>\n

In late May, the actress announced on social media, in a joint post with natural handmade soap brand Dr. Squatch, that\u00a0she would be launching a soap called Sydney\u2019s Bathwater Bliss.<\/a><\/p>\n

The limited product was said to be made with the star\u2019s used bathwater and described as \u201ca perfect combination of the two best places on the planet: The outdoors and Sydney Sweeney\u2019s bathtub.\u201d<\/p>\n

The move made headlines and caused controversy, but a recent Wall Street Journal<\/a> interview is the first time the actor has spoken about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was mainly the girls making comments about it, which I thought was really interesting,\u201d she said of the response, adding: \u201cThey all loved the idea of Jacob Elordi\u2019s bathwater.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Euphoria<\/a> star was referencing 2023\u2019s Saltburn<\/a>, which featured a scandalous scene where lead Oliver (Barry Keoghan<\/a>) drinks the bathwater of the object of his obsession, Felix (Elordi).<\/p>\n

She did not address the recent controversy surrounding her involvement in the American Eagle Jeans campaign, which many online have accused of having racially undertones<\/a>. Both Lizzo<\/a> and Doja Cat<\/a> have criticised the campaign, while Sweeney was heckled at a recent film premiere, with an onlooker shouting: \u201cStop the ad, that is being racist!\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

American Eagle released a statement in early August<\/a>, saying: \u201cSydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story\u201d.<\/p>\n

The commercial received praise from US President Donald Trump, who called it the \u201cHOTTEST ad out there\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and also expressed delight at the news that Sweeney was registered as a Republican supporter at the last election<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the subject of her acting career, last month Sweeney revealed she would be open to starring in a sequel to Barbie alongside Margot Robbie.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sydney Sweeney has responded to backlash from her promoting a soap infused with her bathwater.
