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.

None of it’s happening. All of it is fake and a front for all the other s–t that they say behind everyone’s back,” the “Euphoria” star told Vanity Fair.
