“Guys, this is wild,” the two-time Emmy nominee tweeted. “An innocent celebration of my mother’s 60th birthday has turned into an absurd political statement, which was not the intention. Stop making assumptions. With much love to all ♥ and Happy Birthday Mom!” Also read: Inside ‘Euphoria’ and ‘The White Lotus’ Star Sydney Sweeney’s Struggle with Fame and Privacy “Euphoria” had posted the photos from the celebration earlier on Saturday. “There’s no better way to celebrate my mom than with a surprise �� ,” she captioned the post, in which the second photo shows herself, her mother and several other people around a birthday cake. A man is clearly seen in the background in MAGA-related outerwear.

Others jumped in to defend the actress, writing: “Has it ever crossed anyone’s mind that it’s possible Sydney Sweeney disagrees strongly with her parents’ politics like a huge percentage of Millennials/Gen Z? She is no more responsible for her family’s ideas than you are. Leave her alone.” Some were unhappy with the response, calling the choice to post the photos where far-right and anti-Black Lives Matter images are visible an “absurd political statement” in itself.
