You've seen the Sydney Sweeney ad by now. You've read and watched and listened to the backlash and you've likely felt the disappointment of the Suffragettes slowly crushing your soul. 

But we've just discovered something that no one is talking about: Sydney allegedly approached THEM with the idea. What the actual f*ckkkkk bro. 

On today's episode of In The Comments, we're unpacking Sydney Sweeney's motivations. As much as we want to pin this on Sam Levinson or Scooter Braun, is there really an invisible hand to blame? Or is she firmly in control?

Also the juicy financial details, including how much she ACTUALLY made from this campaign. 

Other things on the show today: 

• Nathan Fielder is back in the zeitgeist with his Elizabeth Holmes documentary, You Can See Everything. It's dropping next month and here's what you need to know about the documentarian behind the vision to prepare. Spoiler alert: this is NOT going to be a normal documentary.
• The Gentlemen has us in a chokehold this week. Shall we start a Theo James fan account...
• And do you know those fake phone calls you can play when you're in a ride share or walking alone? We've prepped some of our own versions. They include a prison release, an ankle monitor, and multiple celebrity impressions. 

Love you Superstars, see you in the comments xxxx
