Sydney Sweeney’s Circle React To ‘Devil Wears Prada 2’ Snub

Sydney Sweeney filmed a three-minute scene for the film “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” but it didn’t make the final cut, raising eyebrows about why.

While reports previously claimed that the scene simply wasn’t a good fit in the film, sources close to the actress are blaming it on politics and “woke” critics, especially after Sweeney was revealed to be a registered Republican during the height of her American Eagle controversy.

Meanwhile, Sydney Sweeney returned to the third installment of “Euphoria,” where she has been garnering backlash too over the foray of character, Cassie, into adult content creation.

Despite being Hollywood’s “it girl” for the past couple of years, Sweeney still gets to experience movie editors’ shears.

Speculations were rife suggesting Sweeney would get a short cameo in the highly anticipated “Devil Wears Prada 2,” but recent reports suggest her scene has been left on the cutting room floor, just days before the sequel’s May 1 release.

Sources close to the production told Entertainment Weekly that the move to drop her scene was a “creative decision,” but added that the movie team was “grateful” for her participation.

However, according to Star Magazine, a different source shared that those close to the actress are blaming “Hollywood wokesters” who have become hugely critical of Sweeney because of her perceived conservative views.

Others don’t think it’s because of her politics, with the insider adding, “They’re attributing it to old-fashioned jealousy” of Sweeney’s fast-rising star.

Insiders Claimed The Actress’s Scene ‘Didn’t Work Structurally With The Rest Of The Sequence’

The scene in question reportedly featured Sweeney playing an exaggerated version of herself as a celebrity client at the Dior offices, interacting with Emily Blunt’s character, Emily Charlton.

The cameo, which came early on in the film, was intended to showcase Emily’s new status as a luxury executive, but director David Frankel and the editing team ultimately decided to axe it, with reports claiming it didn’t work structurally with the rest of the movie.

In trailers for the movie, Anne Hathaway’s character Andy reunites with her former Runway colleagues Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) and Nigel Kipling (Stanley Tucci), to try and resuscitate the fashion magazine amid a decline in traditional publishing and a scandal.

The trio would do all to keep the brand afloat, including seeking funds from former Runway assistant Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt), who’s now the head of Dior’s operations in the U.S.

Sydney Sweeney Came Under Scrutiny Over Her American Eagle Jeans Ad

Over the years, Sweeney has garnered backlash for her controversial statement in an American Eagle ad campaign, as many accused her of fostering white supremacy and Eugenics rhetoric because of a pun about “jeans/genes.”

Responding to the backlash at the time, she told People Magazine that she was “honestly surprised by the reaction,” before going on to distance herself from some of the accusations.

“I did it because I love the jeans and love the brand. I don’t support the views some people chose to connect to the campaign. Many have assigned motives and labels to me that just aren’t true,” she added.

The Actress Garnered Backlash For Provocative Scenes In ‘Euphoria’ Season 3

More recently, Sweeney returned in her hit HBO series “Euphoria” and has continued to receive flak after her character Cassie started creating adult content and making provocative gestures.

She recently sparked backlash for a scene where she’s dressed in a revealing dog costume, filming videos presumably for social media. Sweeney’s character barked like a dog and also drank water on all fours.

The actress also dressed as a baby, wearing a pacifier, diaper, and a see-through pink hoodie, sparking backlash from all quarters.

Several called out the show’s creator, Sam Levinson, over the scenes, with many demanding to know if Sweeney had any say.

Sydney Sweeney’s Boyfriend Implored To Give Her Space

Amid the mounting backlash, Sweeney’s love life with Scooter Braun is standing strong as the pair have now gone Instagram official after months of being linked together.

However, the music executive has raised eyebrows over how he has allegedly made his life about the “Anyone But You” actress, with sources close to him imploring him to stop being needy.

“When they’re together, Scooter looks so stressed out, like he’s paranoid of getting dumped and is holding on for dear life,” a source close to Sweeney told Star. “People are like, give the girl some air for crying out loud!”

“He’s absurdly wealthy and doesn’t really have to work, so he has nothing but time and cash to devote to this relationship,” the insider continued. “He’s working so hard to keep this thing going. He is making his whole life, and his whole footprint in Hollywood, about being by her side.”

In fact, the insider added that it’ll be difficult to see Sweeney ending up with him even though he has reportedly been telling everyone she’s going to be his wife.

“He’s handsome, and he’s loaded, but Sydney is one of the hottest stars in the world right now,” the source said.
