Sydney Sweeney is commenting on her controversies by seemingly stirring up more. The “Euphoria” star has endured a wave of backlash over the last few months. She attended billionaire Jeff Bezos’ wedding in June, starred in an American Eagle jeans-slash-genes campaign that courted almost immediate backlash in July, and then became a political lightning rod when her political party affiliation was made public.The “White Lotus” actor is back in the headlines again this week for comments related to a product she released with the men’s soap company, Dr. Squatch. Sweeney sold off a “Bathwater Bliss” soap that was reportedly infused with ― you guessed it ― her own bathwater. The 27-year-old opened up about the discussion that surrounded the divisive product, and some of her other partnerships, during an interview with the Wall Street Journal, published Wednesday.

Elordi has an infamous bathwater scene in his 2023 film, “Saltburn,” but the actor himself did not put out any products related to his own bathwater. People instantly latched on to Sweeney’s comment about “the girls” and Elordi and shared a lot of thoughts on X: The way the jacob elordi “bathwater” was a FICTIONAL scene from a movie like😭— Su 🤍 🇹🇷 (@marieannfred1) August 20, 2025and it was mainly girls defending her when boys were dehumanizing her and incels bodyshamed her https://t.co/Nxs7cH2ASJ— Micronesian Department of Animal Services (@microdoas) August 21, 2025“It was mainly girls making comments".
