American Eagle’s campaign features Sweeney in denim, standing beside a billboard that reads “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Genes" before replacing "jeans" with "genes."

Sydney Sweeney's brother has broken his silence on her controversial American Eagle jeans ad. Newsweek reached out to Sweeney's representative for comment on Friday via email and Trent Sweeney via Instagram outside regular working hours.
