Sydney Sweeney’s Hollywood Sign Stunt Faces Backlash Over Leaked Email
Sydney Sweeney’s recent promotional stunt involving the Hollywood Sign has sparked significant controversy. The 28-year-old actress, known for her role in “The Housemaid,” was seen ascending the iconic landmark to hang a clothesline of bras. This act was intended to promote her lingerie line, which has notable backing from investor Jeff Bezos.
Sydney Sweeney’s Hollywood Sign Stunt Details
According to reports, Sweeney received a filming permit from FilmLA to shoot around the Hollywood Sign. However, she lacked the necessary permission to physically touch or climb the sign itself. This oversight has raised legal questions regarding intellectual property rights.
Legal Backlash
- A leaked email from the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced that Sweeney’s production had not obtained the required license for commercial use of the sign’s likeness.
- The email specified that although a film permit had been issued, additional clearance was necessary for the use of the Hollywood Sign image.
- The Chair of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce confirmed there was “no permission granted,” highlighting the seriousness of the situation.
This lack of permission could result in potential charges, such as criminal trespass or vandalism. However, there has been no official statement regarding whether the Chamber of Commerce will take legal action.
Background on the Lingerie Line
Sweeney’s foray into the lingerie business has garnered attention, particularly after she attended Jeff Bezos’ wedding last year. This event further fueled speculation about her upcoming lingerie line, which is now the subject of controversy due to her promotional tactics.
As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how Sweeney will respond to the backlash from her Hollywood Sign stunt and whether legal repercussions will follow.
