film producer Carol Baum lashed out at Sydney Sweeney, calling her “not pretty” and saying “she can’t act.”
On Wednesday, the “Anyone but You” actress and producer replied with a rebuttal of her own. In a statement shared with TheWrap, a representative for the star commented, “How sad that a woman in the position to share her expertise and experience chooses instead to attack another woman.”
“If that’s what she’s learned in her decades in the industry and feels is appropriate to teach to her students, that’s shameful,” the statement continued. “To unjustly disparage a fellow female producer speaks volumes about Ms. Baum’s character.”
Baum, who is also an adjunct professor at the University of Southern California, made the comments during a conversation with New York Times film critic Janet Maslin.
