AceShowbiz - Sydney Sweeney appeared to be sexually harassed at the 2022 Met Gala. After a video that recorded the incident went viral on social media, a spokesperson for the Met issued a response.
The representative told BuzzFeed News in an article published on Wednesday, May 4 that they have a "rigorous review process for applications." The rep went on to say, "This was just brought to our attention, and we are neither clear if the allegation is accurate nor who the reporter may have been, yet surely we would not condone any of our guests being treated in this unprofessional manner."
The viral footage saw Sydney walking past reporters and photographers when a person seemingly yelled, "Does anyone have boobs like you down there?" The said person continued, "Come on, show us those boobs," as the "Euphoria" actress laughed and looked away in the moment.
The video was recorded by a woman named Sabrina Bergsten. "I immediately screen-recorded it," the 24-year-old told BuzzFeed News, "Because I think it's important that we don't over-glorify events like the Met Gala if the standard for what photographers are being invited and the conduct of those photographers is so shockingly low."
Sabrina said she was shocked when she heard the screams, replayed the video and sent it to a friend as she couldn't believe what she was hearing. "This was the MET Gala of all places, being covered by the New York Times, and Sydney Sweeney is being casually harassed in front of everyone," she shared.
"Sydney Sweeney deserved better that night, and all women deserve better when it comes to being harassed point-blank," Sabrina continued. "It's definitely all part of a larger problem, and I'm hoping this incident doesn't just get shrugged off."
Sydney has spoken before about the difficulties of constant scrutiny of her body. Last year, she broke down in tears during an Instagram Live session. At the time, she addressed a tweet from a hater that read, "Here I'm gonna force y'all to look at her with no boobs." The 24-year-old actress later revealed that it was just one of many reasons she broke down.
