I guess her people told her that it's not the best idea to have everyone think she's a Nazi. :mjgrin:

Only a few celebrities have the credibility to get away with being Republican/MAGA, and they're either from a different generation or they're already established, so it won't hurt them if they're conservative. She made the transition too soon. :ufdup:

Who is her Fanbase again? Like I’m really curious.

1) Girls that identify with her character on Euphoria, and/or want to be her, get that type of attention.

Like the Kardashian Klan, their fan base is part wannabees and part haters - but they can't stop consuming.

2) The same guys that pay good money for a flick in a theater just to see Ana de Armas, Scar Jo - Whoever Hollywood is trying to convince people is "super hot, and she might get naked, and you might somehow get a chance with her, if you go to the movies, you never know"


I have zero idea on how big any of these separate fan bases are.

The fact that she can't act, folks are divided on her face, females hate that she shows her boobs ALL THE TIME, people are going to movies less, etc - she's not doing herself any favors by towing the line.

Now if she could get into the Taylor Sheridan-Verse.....maybe make a V.I.P. movie with her and Gina Carano and Megan Fox....

I had no issue with the ad, didn't think it was racist at all, and the reaction was clearly blowback from a certain demographic that's mad we aren't seeing 300 pound women in modeling ads anymore. Her fukk up was in not just saying "it's just an ad about jeans with a pun, had nothing to do with racism, stop being weird" and keeping it moving.

It's interesting how far she's fallen. Last year she had a big movie (Immaculate) that she also produced. The year before that she had a massive romcom movie. It seemed like she was making really good decisions. The boxing film felt like such a weird Oscar bait attempt for a young actress who didn't need to do that. And no one wants to see a hot chick look ugly in a movie. The maid film seemed like it could be successful to me but it looks like a Netflix film that people talk about for a week and then forget about. I remember seeing the trailer multiple times this year while at the theater and audiences seemed entertained/interested by it.

It's prob time to get back to romcoms because she's taking a lot of damage.

For me #2 has always been a myth, men don't go see a hot female artists or a hot Movie star, just look at all the bombs from Pam Anderson and Carmen Elektra back in the day.

Funny enough women are the ones that go see artists or actors just based on their looks.

t*ts and youth only took her so far. she’s thought she’d be saved from men throwing her out like yesterdays garbage like they always do with actresses by attaching herself to the maga grift only to realize they’re even more ruthless. she can’t act and has a face like a melted sloth, if that’s what white supremacy is supposed to look like she’s a terrible advertisement for them.

IMO, the success of her romcom was boosted by her Euphoria fame. The buzz off that show pushed a lot of those actors into stardom.
Her head got big and got even bigger by MAGA trying to make her their "anti-woke"queen because she proudly shows her t*ts and gets naked.
Allegedly, Zendaya and Alexa Demie refuse to do any promotional work with her, so that Euphoria glow will probably fade too.

Ironically some women were also hyping her up on some feminist "we love a woman who loves her body etc" type stuff. Plus the good old "Oh but why must nasty men sexualize poor Sydney :mad:". Attention-wise she's kind of a perfect storm.
