Sydney Sweeney’s scene cut from ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ due to ‘creative decision’: Reports

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Sydney Sweeney has been dominating headlines lately, staying in the spotlight for both her personal and professional endeavors. More recently, she made the news for her alleged connection with 'The Devil Wears Prada 2.'

Latest reports suggest that Sweeney was earlier rumored to be part of the film, but her scene was later removed. According to Entertainment Weekly, a source said the decision was made for creative reasons, though the exact cause is still unclear.

Representatives for both The Walt Disney Company and the 'Housemaid' actress have not responded to requests for comment. The film is set to release in theatres on May 1.

Sydney Sweeney’s scene cut from ‘Devil Wears Prada 2’

The 'Immaculate' actress was earlier seen heading to the set, which led many to believe she had a role in the sequel. According to Entertainment Weekly, the actress filmed a short scene in which she played herself as a celebrity client. 

The moment was part of the reintroduction of Emily Blunt’s character, Emily Charlton, who is shown styling her. However, the scene was later cut as it did not fit well with the film’s opening.

According to the publication, the decision was made for "creative reasons." However, the team still appreciated Sweeney’s involvement, and said it was a tough call to remove her scene. 

Speaking about the film, Streep returns as the powerful Miranda Priestly, still leading Runway magazine. Hathaway is back as Andy Sachs, now working as a features editor. Blunt reprises her role as Emily, who is no longer an assistant but now a rival. Stanley Tucci also returns as Nigel.

The sequel also introduces several new cast members, including Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu, BJ Novak, Simone Ashley, Kenneth Branagh and more. 

Sydney Sweeney’s past controversies

Sydney Sweeney has built a strong name in the industry, but with fame has come constant attention and criticism. While she continues working on popular projects, including 'Euphoria,' she has also found herself at the center of several controversies.

In the latest season of 'Euphoria,' the storyline of her character, Cassie, quickly caught attention on social media. While some viewers questioned and mocked it, many saw it as part of the show’s dramatic appeal.

Another controversy followed her campaign with American Eagle. The ad included a line about genes being passed down, ending with the wordplay “my jeans are blue.” The campaign drew mixed reactions online.

Some critics argued the message could be linked to ideas similar to eugenics, a widely discredited theory. Others pushed back on that claim, saying the backlash reflects how quickly people react online.

The issue got bigger because the campaign was also linked to a good cause despite the criticism. The brand said the money from the jeans would go to Crisis Text Line, which helps people with mental health support.
