Former NASCAR and IndyCar driver Danica Patrick gave her take on the Sydney Sweeney controversy stemming from the actress’s American Eagle ad campaign.
Sweeney’s commercials are perceived by some as coded with racism and eugenics because of a play on words regarding « jeans » and « genes. »
Patrick posted a story on her Instagram account on July 30, reading, « Hilarious. Can anyone tell me what’s wrong with the new AE ads?! Very confused. »
Also, she shared a video from content creator Kaylor Betts, which addressed the controversy.
« We have to boycott American Eagle », Betts said in the video playfully.
« If you haven’t heard of this yet, brace yourself. This is a trigger warning. You’re not going to believe it.
