Halsey is standing by her new film Americana as co-star Sydney Sweeney faces controversy over a recent American Eagle ad campaign.

She loudly supported her director and the crew that worked on the thriller that also starred Sweeney and Paul Walter Hauser. Meanwhile, she seemingly alluded to her co-star’s controversy and how it could have influenced people’s choice to go see Americana. All around, this is a complex situation, and as it evolves, we’ll keep you posted.

Sweeney, who broke out for her role as Cassie Howard on HBO's Euphoria, first courted controversy in 2023 after photos emerged from her mother's 60th birthday featuring red MAGA-inspired hats. "There were so many misinterpretations," she said of the photos that year. "The people in the pictures weren't even my family."
