After veteran Hollywood producer Carol Baum said Sydney Sweeney is "not pretty" and "can’t act," a representative for Sweeney has fired back.

"usually" which means she is sometimes

Not sure what sort of response Carol was expecting, I’m sure she’s a hit at brunch but this was unprofessional.

Super happy that Sydney formally responded to this balderdash.

She gets her money's worth out of her PR.

a good response, cause yeah it's kind of ridiculous and awful to talk about someone like that in a public venue to people who are ostensibly going to be in the industry one day

Yeah you never know whose paths you cross in life and in careers. People remember if you nice or terrible to them when the moment arrives.

i LOVE when hollywood folk talk out the side of their necks like this. it's giving jennifer lopez in movieline. iconic

I get the feeling of needing to defend yourself, but i despise the 'how dare this woman attack me, a woman'. it wouldnt be phrased that way if a man said it. it screams of 'a special place of hell for women who dont support other women' men are never held to that standard for each other

This comment would be MUCH worse if a man said it, and hopefully the language of the response would be much more severe.

I understand your point about higher standards, but I don't agree it is the case here. More like - this is surprising that a woman would make a comment like that.

i wasnt talking specifically about the exact comment, its just simply when a woman is negative about another women, its like this big slap in the face of feminism when men can critique other men and it barely makes a blip. its never a 'how can you not support me, we both have penises'

[delfintaka]

Got it, sorry for misunderstanding
