Chiefs heiress Gracie Hunt backs Sydney Sweeney with bold outfit choice and jeans message after American Eagle backlash
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS heiress Gracie Hunt has come out with a tongue in cheek response to the uproar surrounding Sydney Sweeney’s recent American Eagle advert.
The fashion and beauty influencer made the cheeky comment in the caption of a post uploaded to Instagram.
The post featured Hunt posing in her branded jeans in a scenic forest location.
Other images in the post included idyllic nature scenes, and even a snap of a wild bear outside Hunt’s lodge.
“Denim days & dreamy nights,” the caption read.
“I like the view and my jeans (not American Eagles – but they are American).”
The post was uploaded to her Instagram account, where she has almost 625,000 followers.
The joke came in the wake of backlash that Sweeney received regarding an ad campaign for American fashion brand American Eagle.
Sweeney went topless at points for the shoot based around denimwear.
The ad featured close-up shots of the actress in denim, and was focused around the wordplay of ‘jeans’ and ‘genes.’
Sweeney’s narration read: “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color.
“My jeans are blue.”
The ad’s discussion of genes drew criticism from some far-left users on social media.
Some even compared the ad’s focus on genes to Nazism and its views on eugenics.
Hunt was clearly amused by the hysteria around the advert, making her nod to the incident in good humour and not seriously getting involved in the bizarre controversy.
The 26-year-old is the daughter of Clark Hunt, owner and chair of NFL organisation the Kansas City Chiefs.
Hunt recently confirmed that she is dating the son of former NFL and Chiefs star Trent Green.
The NFL franchise heiress and her long-time friend Derek Green went public with their relationship in May.

Amazon is selling 24 Star Wars ‘morphing mugs’ – but the Target version scans for $6 less
FANS of Star Wars can get some unique and fun mugs to add to their collection this summer at Amazon.
The e-commerce giant is selling the homeware item in 24 different versions, each with a special feature.
Known as Morphing Mugs, the Star Wars-themed coffee cups reveal art depicting certain aspects of the beloved universe when filled with hot liquid, according to the product description.
So, it doesn’t have to be coffee — tea, hot chocolate, even just hot water in the mug would work to transition and show the images.
Consumers can purchase any one of the 24 variations for varying price points per mug.
They range from $9.99 to $26 for individuals, and up to $31 for a set of two.
The Morphing Mugs are also microwave safe, made of a ceramic material, and come in strictly 16-ounce options.
Except, buyers are urged to only hand-wash the mugs to “preserve the Force” and avoid any chipping or breakage.
Over 147 customers have given the Morphing Mugs a 4.4 out of five-star rating on Amazon.
“This was a great gift for my hubby!” a satisfied shopper wrote.
“This cup was a great gift, the person I gave it to loved it!!” another said.
“Like the way the character appears when you fill it with hot beverage, very cute,” a third added.
One of the most popular versions, Darkness Has Arrived, which reveals an intimidating image of Darth Vader, sells for $26.
While the deal isn’t bad, Target does offer a nearly identical option with the Seven20 Star Wars Darth Vader/Death Star Heat Reveal Ceramic Coffee mug for $6 less.
It’s listed for $19.99 on the retail giant’s website, and comes in all black, with Darth Vader on the front and “Galactic Empire” written below.
When filled with hot liquid, the Death Star appears in red behind the iconic character.

SIZE CHANGE
Similar to the Morphing Mugs from Amazon, customers must hand wash the mug and can’t use it in the microwave.
A sole difference is also in the size, as the Seven20 option from Target is only 11 ounces in comparison to the 16-ounce Morphing Mugs.
Some other design options include the Seven20 Star Wars Kylo Ren Heat Reveal Coffee Mug for $14.99 and the Seven 20 Star Wars Force Awakens Heat Reveal Ceramic Mug for $17.99.
Deciding between the Star Wars mugs from Amazon or Target will come down to shoppers’ budgets and personal preferences.
RARE FINDS
Star Wars collectibles can also be worth some serious money.
Antiques Roadshow has featured several owners of memorabilia from the franchise that earned them thousands.
For example, a man brought in a toy collection with a special “double lightsaber feature” that was valued at more than $15,000.
Someone else was left four Star Wars movie posters from their late dad worth at least $3,000 due to a “sheet” marking.
Although the most valuable find was VHS tape that the Pawn Stars evaluated for $315,000.

Amy Bradley’s brother reveals ‘evidence that proves truth’ about cruise ship disappearance as ‘credible’ new tips emerge
A GRIEVING brother says new leads and evidence have come to light in the mysterious cruise ship disappearance of his sister more than two decades ago.
Brad Bradley, whose 23-year-old sister Amy vanished during a family trip aboard Royal Caribbean’s Rhapsody of the Seas in 1998, said “credible tips” have emerged since a new Netflix docuseries reignited interest in the case.
The Bradleys, from Virginia, were just three days into their Caribbean cruise when Amy went missing on March 24 as the ship approached Curacao.
“We believe she was targeted, we believe she was taken, and we believe she was removed from the ship,” Brad told NewsNation.
Amy had spent the previous night dancing at the ship’s nightclub with a band member known as “Yellow” before returning to her family cabin.
She was last seen early that morning resting on the cabin balcony, but was gone when her father awoke.
Despite extensive searches and no evidence suggesting she fell overboard, Amy was never seen again.
The family has long suspected she was abducted and possibly trafficked.
Her brother said photos of Amy from a formal night mysteriously vanished.
He also recalled two men asking him suspicious questions about the timeline of her disappearance, which he now believes may have been an attempt to align stories.
Brad told TMZ that several tips have rolled in since the Netflix series “Amy Bradley is Missing” aired, and on NewsNation he called some of them “credible,” though he did not provide specifics.
The three-part documentary includes alleged sightings of Amy alive years after she disappeared, including a woman resembling her in photos on a sex worker site.
Amy was legally declared dead in 2010, but the FBI still considers the case open and is offering a $25,000 reward for information.
The show’s producers confirmed to The U.S. Sun that they’ve received new tips, but cautioned they could be hoaxes.
“This was always about one thing: finding Amy,” said producer Ari Mark, who noted the family is “over the moon” that her story is reaching new audiences.
Mark said Amy’s cabin was cleaned before investigators could treat it as a potential crime scene, and no video footage showed her leaving the ship.
Cruise security was in charge of interviewing the crew, and Mark said no evidence was ever found that she jumped or fell.
Timeline of Amy Lynn Bradley's last hours before her disappearance
March 23, 1998, evening Amy Lynn Bradley and her brother, Brad, attended a dance party at the ship’s disco, where they were seen with members of the ship’s band. The ship was sailing from Aruba to Curaçao.
March 24, 1998, 3:35 a.m. Brad Bradley returned to the family cabin, followed five minutes later by Amy, after a night of dancing and drinking. They sat on the balcony and talked before Brad went to sleep.
March 24, 1998, 5:15 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. Amy’s father, Ron Bradley, woke up briefly and saw Amy asleep on a lounge chair on their cabin’s balcony. This is the last confirmed sighting of her by her family.
March 24, 1998, 5:30 a.m. to 5:45 a.m. Three witnesses later claimed to have seen Amy on an upper deck of the ship with Alister “Yellow” Douglas, a member of the ship’s band, and said he was seen leaving alone shortly after 6 a.m.
March 24, 1998, 6:00 a.m. When Ron Bradley woke up again, Amy was no longer on the balcony, but her shoes were still in the cabin, and her cigarettes and lighter were missing. He began to search the ship for her.
March 24, 1998, 6:30 a.m. The family reported Amy missing to the ship’s crew and asked that passengers be prevented from disembarking, but their request was denied. The ship had already docked in Curaçao.
March 24, 1998, 7:50 a.m. The ship made a public announcement for Amy to come to the purser’s desk, but by this time, many of the passengers had already disembarked. A full ship search was conducted later in the day, but no sign of Amy was found.
March 24-27, 1998 The Dutch Caribbean Coast Guard conducted a four-day air and sea search for Amy around Curaçao and Aruba, but no trace of her was ever found. Authorities initially considered the possibility that she fell overboard, but this theory was later dismissed.
Bass player Alister “Yellow” Douglas, who danced with Amy the night she vanished, has always maintained his innocence.
Douglas’ daughter confronted him in a tense phone call shown in the doc, accusing him of hiding something. He denied it.
Douglas, now an exorcist and reverend in Grenada, recently gave a rare interview to YouTuber James Renner, insisting again he had nothing to do with Amy’s disappearance.
Renner, who traveled the same cruise route for research, said he believes Douglas is innocent and may sue the Netflix filmmakers over his portrayal.
The FBI questioned Douglas shortly after Amy vanished and again years later, ultimately clearing him, Renner said.
Douglas said in his interview that he left Amy shortly before 1 am that night and returned to his cabin, where ship security later questioned him.
He claimed he was told not to leave and cooperated fully with the investigation, though he’s faced death threats and harassment ever since.
Douglas broke down during the interview, saying, “I’ve lost so many opportunities because of this.”
“The truth will come out,” he added. “And when it does, I will sue the people who have been making documentaries about me.”
