The movie star is reportedly receiving investment from Amazon boss Jeff Bezos, and people aren\u2019t happy that she’s turned shock value into a strategy for success.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-name” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Black Han Sans|||on|||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ header_4_font=”|||on|||||” header_4_text_align=”center” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]

The nuptials had a rather star-studded guest list, including Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Orlando Bloom, Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates and Leonardo DiCaprio.<\/p>\n Sweeney\u2019s newfound relationship with Bezos and S\u00e1nchez\u2019s has led to speculation that the Anyone But You and Euphoria star might be the next Bond girl, seeing as back in 2022 Amazon acquired creative control over the James Bond film franchise when the business Amazon purchased MGM, which distributes the Bond films. Amazon has now entered into a joint venture with Eon Productions to manage the franchise’s creative direction, so Sweeney\u2019s name could easily be thrown around by Amazon and Bond bosses.<\/p>\n But even though the actress hasn\u2019t confirmed either of these claims, around her next movie role or business venture, she has been subjected to vitriol online at these reports.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/07\/GettyImages-2222513338-scaled.jpg” alt=”Sydney Sweeney” title_text=”Jeff Bezos And Lauren Sanchez Wedding” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] One critic has referred to her as \u2018overrated. One trick pony at best. Not in the Bond league of women.\u2019 Others horrifically criticised her looks, comments so vile we wouldn’t dare to repeat.<\/p>\n Even if you\u2019re not planning on buying any potential Sydney Sweeney lingerie, or watching her in the latest Bond movie if she\u2019s cast, there\u2019s no excuse for attacking her acting skills and her figure, and suggesting that she only has her career because of her looks. To reduce a woman\u2019s worth down to whether or not she\u2019s attractive and whether she therefore deserves to be successful just stinks of misogyny.<\/p>\n Sweeney has been a successful businesswoman for years, with her latest collaboration with Dr Squatch seeing bars of soap sold with a sample of her bath water in it.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-quote” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”Libre Bodoni|||on|||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#333333″ header_2_font_size=”40px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”] \u2018I thrive in chaos,\u201d she told Empire magazine in an interview earlier this year. \u2018I love working. I love having to juggle multiple things at the same time. I don\u2019t really sleep much, but I do best when I don\u2019t sleep much.\u2019<\/p>\n Sweeney\u2019s entrepreneurial spirit is built on a feeling that she can\u2019t fail, after the financial and personal issues that occurred within her family while she was growing up, including her parents\u2019 split.<\/p>\n \u2018I knew that I could never actually fail because, I mean, on a very broad scale, my family did lose everything,\u201d she told Glamour last year. \u201cThey did get a divorce. Whether or not that was because of coming [to Los Angeles], it definitely was a catalyst for it. So I knew I had to succeed in some capacity so that it wasn\u2019t for nothing.\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018It doesn\u2019t feel like that because there\u2019s so much more I want to accomplish and achieve,\u2019 she added. \u2018I feel like I\u2019ve barely scratched the surface of what I\u2019d like to do in my life.\u2019<\/p>\n The fact that these critics\u2019 first response to a potential business venture for a young businesswoman is to tear down her looks and ambitions says so much about how society views successful women. That they don\u2019t deserve it, and that all focus must be on how good looking they are or aren’t, their bodies, their faces, instead of their contribution to the world.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t the first time, by any stretch, that Sweeney has faced criticism of her body in the face of a career choice. When pictures of her \u2018bulked up\u2019 figure from playing Christy Martin in the professional boxer\u2019s biopic were posted, critics called her an \u2018Ozempic candidate\u2019.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/07\/GettyImages-2222487858-scaled.jpg” alt=”Sydney Sweeney” title_text=”Jeff Bezos And Lauren Sanchez Wedding” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] After hitting back at critics at the time with an Instagram montage of her training regimen as well as some of the worst online criticisms, Sweeney recently spoke out about what it meant to her to play Martin, and how much she enjoyed training her body.<\/p>\n \u2018Over the past few months, I’ve been immersed in training to bring to life the story of an incredible woman,\u201d she wrote in an Instagram post. \u2018Her journey is a testament to resilience, strength, and hope, and I\u2019m honoured to step into her shoes to share her powerful story with you all.\u2019<\/p>\n Once again, a career move that could mean success, prosperity and happiness for Sweeney has been dissected by toxic critics, focusing only on misogynistic comments. She and her work ethic both better.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#111111″ divider_position=”center” divider_weight=”2px” module_class=”custom-divider” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-texts” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|||on|||||” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”] Photos: <\/b>Getty<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The internet’s reaction to Sweeney’s lingerie line is telling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":12075,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12070","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature"],"acf":[],"modified_by":"guestgrazia","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12070","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12070"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12070\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12078,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12070\/revisions\/12078"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12075"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12070"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12070"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12070"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}‘I thrive in chaos.’<\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]
