Sydney Sweeney's Hollywood Sign Drama Escalates

The buzz surrounding Sydney Sweeney's recent Hollywood Sign stunt is hitting a fever pitch, as artist Zach Fernandez, known as Jesushands, calls for legal repercussions. Fernandez, who gained notoriety in 2017 for his "HOLLYWEED" alteration of the iconic Hollywood landmark, faced arrest and punishment for his actions. Now, he's pointing fingers at Sweeney, insisting she should endure a similar fate following her bra stunt to promote her lingerie line, Syrn.

Fernandez's stance is clear: "When enforcement changes depending on who's involved or what's being sold, people notice," he told TMZ. He highlighted what he perceives as a glaring double standard, with Sweeney flaunting her daring act on social media without facing the music he did.

Double Standards and Artistic Integrity

Fernandez isn't buying the comparisons between his creative homage and Sweeney's promotional escapade. "Mine was an artistic intervention and cultural commentary. Hers was a brand-backed advertisement," he pointed out, emphasizing the artistic roots of his "HOLLYWEED" stunt, inspired by the late Daniel Finegood's 1976 act.

While Fernandez went on to establish a lifestyle brand, Hollyweed, he insists it was driven by the artistic statement, not vice versa. Meanwhile, Sweeney's stunt – which involved hanging bras on the Hollywood Sign – seemed to push boundaries to promote Syrn. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has indicated potential legal action if rules were indeed broken.

Legal Tangles and Public Perception

As of now, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is deep-diving into the incident, figuring out how Sweeney's team accessed the Sign. Without clear evidence of rule-breaking, the actress remains in the clear. However, the backlash from the public is palpable, with many decrying her actions as "unlikable" and "stupid."

Despite the uproar, Sweeney isn't backing down. She's been actively promoting Syrn on social media, embracing the bold narrative of "confidence without pressure" that her brand embodies. With bras ranging from size 30B to 42DDD under the "seductress" theme, Sweeney aims to bring comfort and allure to women everywhere.

Elon Musk's Comments and Sweeney's Resilience

Before this controversy, Sweeney found herself at the center of another social media storm involving tech mogul Elon Musk. In December 2025, Musk raised eyebrows with AI-generated images and comments about Sweeney's body, sparking swift backlash from her fans.

Musk's posts were labeled "creepy" by fans, who also reminded him of the significant age gap between him and the actress. Yet, amid the chaos, Sweeney's supporters rallied behind her, offering a reminder of her broad appeal despite the controversies stirring around her.
