Vanity Fair’s Lie Detector Test has certainly given us many interesting insights about the actors and actresses dominating Hollywood at the moment. In its latest edition, Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney appeared to promote their upcoming film “The Housemaid,” set to be released on December 19, and the “Euphoria” star revealed what shows up in her TikTok feed — a rather sad answer.
Why Social Media Has Become a Hostile Space for Sydney Sweeney
Sydney Sweeney’s recent appearance on Vanity Fair’s Lie Detector Test highlighted just how relentless online negativity toward her has become. When asked what appears on her TikTok For You Page, she admitted that it’s filled with “a lot of hate,” a revelation confirmed by the polygraph. The moment even shocked her co-star Amanda Seyfried, underscoring how unexpectedly harsh the actress’s digital environment has grown.

A significant portion of that criticism stems from viral moments that spiraled beyond her control. Her American Eagle jeans campaign became a major flashpoint, with the pun-based slogan sparking widespread backlash. What was intended as a playful marketing idea ended up being dissected and misinterpreted across social platforms, generating a wave of commentary that Sweeney later described as surprising and unfair.
On top of that, Sweeney continues to face constant scrutiny over her appearance, with online users circulating old and new photos to fuel rumors about cosmetic procedures. She has openly pushed back on these claims, calling some of the speculation “insane.” Combined with the backlash from the campaign and the noise amplified by social media algorithms, it becomes clearer why her TikTok feed—and her online experience in general—has become such a hostile space.
