Sydney Sweeney Calls Out Hollywood Industry’s “Women Empowering Other Women” Stance: “All Of It Is Fake”

Sydney Sweeney is calling out some people in the Hollywood industry who tear another woman down privately while publicly proclaiming they are empowering women.

In a new interview, the Immaculate star cited the industry’s attitude of “women empowering other women” as untrue. “It’s very disheartening to see women tear other women down,” Sweeney said in an interview with Vanity Fair. “Especially when women who are successful in other avenues of their industry see younger talent working really hard—hoping to achieve whatever dreams that they may have—and then trying to bash and discredit any work that they’ve done.” She continued, “This entire industry, all people say is ‘Women empowering other women.’ None of it’s happening.

All of it is fake and a front for all the other shit that they say behind everyone’s back.” Sweeney noted that there are “so many studies and different opinions on the reasoning behind it” and said that “it’s a generation problem to believe only one woman can be at the top.” “There’s one woman who can get the man.

There’s one woman who can be, I don’t know, anything,” she said. “So then all the others feel like they have to fight each other or take that one woman down instead of being like, Let’s all lift each other up.
