Sydney Sweeney, who is famous for her roles in *Euphoria* and *The White Lotus*, recently responded to mean comments made by producer Carol Baum. During a screening of *Dead Ringers* in 2023, Baum said, "She’s not pretty. She can’t act. Why is she so hot?" This upset many people, and Sweeney’s team was disappointed that Baum, a woman in the industry, would criticize another woman instead of supporting her.

In an interview with *Vanity Fair*, Sydney talked about how the idea of "women empowering women" in Hollywood isn’t always true. She called it "fake" and said that many successful women often criticize younger women instead of helping them. She felt it was wrong when women who have already succeeded choose to bring down others.

Sydney also shared her experience with fame. She said that at first, she kept parts of her life private. But after appearing on *Saturday Night Live*, she felt stronger and more in control of how people saw her. She used the opportunity to joke about rumors, including one about her role in *Madame Web* and a rumor about her relationship with co-star Glen Powell.

Sydney’s comments show the challenges women face in Hollywood, especially when it comes to finding real support. Despite the message that women should support each other, her experience shows that true support can be hard to find.
