Michael Rapaport called out the backlash against Sydney Sweeney following the actress’ American Eagle jeans ad, saying the criticism is “out of control.”
The comedian went off on the people who have “bullied and harassed” Sweeney after her “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans” ad went viral for the wrong reasons.
“Yo, I don’t know Sydney Sweeney, I’ve never met Sydney Sweeney, I’ve never even seen an episode of ‘Euphoria.’ I know her fame, I know about the commercial controversy, and now I know something about her being a registered Republican,” Rapaport said on Instagram. “Who gives a f— who is registered as what? Who gives a f—? This is out of control. Who the f— cares who anybody is registered to vote for, Republican, Democrat, Independent, or whatever the f— they want to do.”
He continued, “This is a young 27-year-old girl that’s being bullied and harassed. You don’t think her team of powerful agents and lawyers dotted every I and ran everything up the flagpole to do that American Eagle jeans campaign and all of a sudden she’s a Nazi, and it’s white supremacy? Leave her the f— alone.”
