    Sydney Sweeney has defended her controversial American Eagle jeans commercial and insisted she is "against hate"

    The 28-year-old actress was blasted after starring in the brand's 'Great Jeans' advertisements - which were accused of glorifying her white heritage and physique - but Sydney was shocked that people "assigned motives and labels" to her "that just aren't true".


    She told PEOPLE: "I was honestly surprised by the reaction. I did it because I love the jeans and love the brand. I don't support the views some people chose to connect to the campaign. Many have assigned motives and labels to me that just aren't true."
