Artists bent the knee early and often in Woke 1.
That’s why it’s refreshing to see Sydney Sweeney refuse to apologize for saying the obvious:
Sex sells.
Others didn’t stand so tall when the woke mob came for them, pitchforks in hand.
Think Stephen King, Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson and Halle Berry. All backpedaled after not-so-serious “wrong think:”
- King suggested excellence matters more than Identity Politics in art
- Johansson and Berry dared to take trans character roles despite not being trans themselves
- Damon vowed to stay quiet after sharing common-sense opinions on sexual assault
- Ed Sheeran just wept on stage for daring to be apolitical
Others seemingly did as told, too, like Taylor Swift. The media harassed her for staying quiet during the 2016 presidential campaign. And, eventually, she began endorsing Democratic candidates.
Her crime? Staying apolitical (ask Sheeran how that goes over today).
Yet Sweeney of “Housemaid” fame committed no crime, real or imaginary. Still. The media and the Left, but we repeat ourselves, insist otherwise.
Last year, she playfully teased the difference between “jeans” and “genes” for an American Eagle campaign. Everyone with a brain knows she has good genes in the beauty department.
That’s not science talking. It’s common sense. No sane soul thought she was making a White Supremacist argument or call to arms.
We live in stupid times, though, surrounded by either stupid or phony people. So the Left argued the campaign reeked of, what else, White Supremacy. Sweeney didn’t budge. Nor did she break her politics-free brand.
And the media tried oh, so hard to push her into a political realm. Why? Two reasons.
One, they wanted to add her to the Hate Trump Brigade at all costs. And, if she wouldn’t do as told, they’d punish her.

So when she unveiled a new ad days ago for the sports betting platform Novig, she did what she does best – stripped down and let sex sell anew.
The Left’s hot takes this time around were almost as dumb as before. Maybe worse.
She’s insulting female athletes, they collectively cried. We’re not talking X randos but actual journalists.

If those stories don’t call out hypocritical female athletes for also dropped their clothes for magazines or ad campaigns, well, they’re not doing their job.
Now, it’s easy to argue that Sweeney predicted all of this and banked on it to promote a platform she has a stake in.
Great. Good. Fine.
What’s wrong with that?
She still shouldn’t be bullied by a massive media landscape eager for clicks and disinformation. No one deserves to be bullied en masse like this when they’ve done nothing wrong.
And Sweeney has done nothing wrong. Say that again. Let it sink in.
If you’d like to criticize her for promoting gambling … fine. But there’s a long list of celebrities who also happily promote gambling sites.
- Ben Affleck
- Kevin Hart
- Jamie Foxx
- Jon Hamm
Why didn’t you start there and get to Sweeney later? It’s time to man up and apologize to Sweeney.
