Sydney Sweeney reacts to producer’s criticism of her performance: ‘Shameful’

Sydney Sweeney was not happy with negative comments made by the Hollywood producer Carol Baum. During conversation with the film critic Janet Maslinof The New York Times, Baum gave his opinion on the performance of Sweeney.

“How sad that a woman in a position to share her expertise and experience chooses instead to attack another woman,” said a representative from Sweeney The People. “If this is what she has learned from decades in the industry and feels it is appropriate to teach her students, that is shameful. Unfairly disparaging a fellow female producer says a lot about Ms.’s character. Baum.”

Baum talked about Everyone But You: “There’s an actress everyone loves right now: Sydney Sweeney. I don’t understand Sydney Sweeney. I was watching the movie Sydney Sweeney on the plane because I wanted to watch it. I wanted to know who she is and why everyone is talking about her. I watched this unbearable movie — sorry to the people who love this romantic comedy in which they hate each other,” he said Baum (via People).

The producer, who is an adjunct professor at the University of Southern California, stated that she discussed the topic with her class. “I said to my class, ‘Explain this girl to me. She’s not pretty, she can’t act. Why is she so hot?’ No one had an answer,” she said.

“But the question was asked, ‘If you could make your movie because she’s in it, would you do it?’ That’s a very difficult question to answer because we all want to make the movie and who runs away from a green light?

Baum admitted to TMZ that he regretted his statements and that he generally does not speak negatively about actors.
