Sydney Sweeney has called out “fake” female empowerment in the American film industry. The 27-year-old star of Euphoria and Anyone But You criticised the hypocrisy of people publicly espousing feminist values, while privately “trying to bash and discredit” younger peers.

Sydney Sweeney called out the "very disheartening" reality she's experienced behind the scenes when it comes to women uplifting other women in Hollywood.

Sydney Sweeney says Hollywood is not actually filled with 'women empowering other women,' but rather people tearing women down. 'None of it's happening,' she said in the 'Vanity Fair' 2025 Hollywood Issue.
