Fox News has ignited a social media storm after broadcasting an eyebrow-raising advertisement that appeared to link actress Sydney Sweeney to the infamous Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
The bizarre segment, which aired during a prime-time show, featured a photo of the Euphoria star alongside text questioning her involvement in Epstein-related conspiracy theories—despite zero evidence connecting her to the disgraced financier.
Public Outrage Erupts
Viewers quickly took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their disbelief, with many accusing the network of irresponsible journalism. "This is beyond tasteless," wrote one user, while another demanded an apology for the "baseless insinuation."
Fox News Yet to Respond
As of publication, the network has not addressed the backlash or explained why the ad—reportedly promoting a segment on Epstein’s flight logs—included Sweeney’s image. Media watchdogs have condemned the move as a "blatant attempt to generate clicks through sensationalism."
The 26-year-old actress, known for her roles in HBO hits, has no known ties to Epstein. Critics argue the ad exemplifies dangerous misinformation tactics increasingly prevalent in partisan media.
