Fox News has found itself at the centre of yet another controversy after a segment criticising actress Sydney Sweeney’s Baskin-Robbins commercial sparked widespread backlash.
The conservative network aired a discussion questioning the appropriateness of the ad, which features the Euphoria star enjoying ice cream in a playful setting. Critics were quick to label the segment as 'ridiculous' and 'out of touch,' accusing Fox News of manufacturing outrage over a harmless promotional campaign.
Viewers React to Fox News’ Criticism
Social media erupted with reactions after the segment aired, with many users mocking the network for its scrutiny of the light-hearted ad. 'Since when is eating ice cream controversial?' one Twitter user wrote, while another called the criticism 'peak Fox News.'
The backlash highlights the growing divide between conservative media and mainstream entertainment, with Fox News often targeting celebrities and pop culture figures for perceived moral failings.
Sydney Sweeney’s Rising Stardom
Sweeney, best known for her roles in Euphoria and The White Lotus, has become a sought-after name in Hollywood. Her partnership with Baskin-Robbins is just one of several high-profile endorsements, showcasing her appeal to younger audiences.
Despite the unwarranted criticism, the actress has yet to respond publicly to the controversy, letting her fans and supporters defend her instead.
