Sydney Sweeney was once Hollywood’s red-carpet favorite. But at Sunday’s Emmy Awards, she kept a low profile. She presented an award on stage but skipped afterparties and was not seen mingling backstage.
Fans wonder if Hollywood is giving her the cold shoulder over her Republican ties and recent controversies. Her American Eagle ad campaign, labeled “Nazi propaganda” by critics, sparked fierce debate. The actress also faced backlash after voter records revealed she registered as a Republican in Florida.

Sunday’s Emmys were filled with political speeches. Several stars slammed Trump’s policies and voiced support for Palestine. Yet no mention was made of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk. “We have to use our platforms,” one actress said, urging action for peace.
Sydney’s recent movies also struggled at the box office, adding to speculation about her career’s direction. Is she being quietly frozen out — or simply choosing to stay out of the spotlight?
