Angela Price breaks silence on Sydney Sweeney's 'good jeans' ad backlash
Carey Price's wife, Angela Price, isn't one to shy away from hot-button topics—and her latest Instagram Q&A proves just that. As social media continues to debate Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle billboard that plays on the phrase 'good jeans' (a pun that critics say sexualizes and objectifies the actress), Angela chimed in with her own surprisingly grounded take.
'When I first saw it, I thought, 'Yeah, she definitely has great genes because she's incredibly attractive,'' Angela wrote.
'But hey, that's just my two cents from someone who likes to keep it real and sensible.'
Angela's response stood out for its calm, measured tone at a time when the ad has become a cultural flashpoint. Critics claim it sends the wrong message by focusing too heavily on appearance and idealized beauty standards. Others have even called it racially insensitive. But Angela—who used to work with American Eagle herself—pushed back on that narrative.
Angela defends American Eagle's history of diversity
'I have a soft spot for the AE brand; I spent a good part of my youth working with them,' she said. 'If you check out their past ads, they showcase people of all shapes, sizes, ethnicities, and support diverse groups.'
That quiet endorsement of the brand comes amid a social media firestorm, where people are accusing American Eagle of promoting a narrow definition of beauty. The brand, however, maintains the ad was never about anything other than denim: 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans.

After Sydney Sweeney's jeans ad sparks row, actress gets ‘digital snan' at Prayagraj's Sangam, viral video sparks laughter riot
American actress Sydney Sweeney sparked a social media uproar after she was featured in an advertisement for American Eagle Outfitters, a popular apparel brand, that allegedly had racist undertones. Amid the ongoing buzz, a video of a man giving 'digital snan' to the Euphoria actor has ignited a laughter riot on Instagram. In the now-viral video, Deepak Goel, a journalist as mentioned in his bio, can be seen holding a picture of Sweeney. He then goes on to dip the picture in the Sangam water. 'This is Sydney Sweeney. She needs no introduction. I am going to perform a 'digital snan' or virtual dip in the holy water of Sangam in Prayagraj,' Goel says in the video. 'Sydney Sweeney getting digital snan at Sangam, Prayagraj,' the caption read. Watch here: A post shared by Deepak Goel (@digis414) The video immediately drew attention, with several social media users dropping hilarious reactions. 'No one should be surprised now if Sydney Sweeney suddenly has to go through an unknown bout with hepatitis,' a user wrote. 'Great, now you can sell that water,' another user commented. 'bro's wife is preparing divorce papers as we speak,' a third user reacted. 'we got sydney sweeney digital snan before gta6,' a fourth user chimed in. Sweeney has drawn both plaudits and criticism for her ongoing American Eagle campaign, which plays on the pun 'Sydney Sweeney has great genes.' In the controversial jeans advertisement, Sweeney says: 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality and even eye colour. My jeans are blue.' Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump on Monday hailed Sweeney for her recent advertisement, while criticising carmaker Jaguar and pop star Taylor Swift in a new post on his social media platform Truth Social. In the post, President Trump said Sweeney, who is a registered Republican, has 'the hottest ad out there' and that the American Eagle jeans she promoted are 'flying off the shelves.' He encouraged people to support her by saying, 'Go get 'em Sydney!' Following the backlash, American Eagle refused to apologise and said it would 'continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence'. 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone,' it posted on Instagram.

The one piece of advice I would give everyone is to try a social media detox for at least a week. I did, and it led to so many realisations. Something in me switched. I became more aware of how much time I actually have, and what it feels like to just be bored, to simply exist, it was enlightening." Meanwhile, when asked whether he ever googled himself, the War 2 actor replied, 'Of course and I cannot even tell you the things I have found! As a celebrity you have to check", he said with a laugh. Looks like Hrithik is back on Instagram after a brief social media detox. He recently shared a video of his mother Pinkie Roshan acing the hook step of Aavan Jaavan, the first song from his upcoming film War 2.
