Sydney Sweeney's nonresponse to backlash over her American Eagle "Good Jeans" ad suggests a brand strategy that embraces controversy, PR experts say.

Sydney Sweeney has reportedly helped American Eagle’s stock climb higher this week. The White Lotus actress has recently collaborated with the clothing brand for a special collection, which includes a denim jacket and “The Sydney Jean.

Sweeney's collaboration with American Eagle, branded "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans," features a denim line designed by the actress herself. According to reports, 100% of the purchase price of The Sydney Jean will go directly to Crisis Text Line, a charity that offers mental health support to domestic abuse victims.
