For the first time since she received backlash for an American Eagle campaign, Sydney Sweeney is breaking her silence about the controversy. As she gears up to promote her upcoming film Christy, in which she plays boxer Christy Martin, at the Toronto Film Festival, the actress made a very telling statement.

“I am there to support my movie and the people involved in making it, and I’m not there to talk about jeans,” Sweeney told Vanity Fair. “The movie’s about Christy and that’s what I’ll be there to talk about.”
