'My jeans are yellow': Influencer Tiffany Fong, who refused to have Elon Musk's baby, recreates viral Sydney Sweeney ad

Donning a head-to-toe yellow denim ensemble, influencer Tiffany Fong dropped a video recreating Sydney Sweeney and the controversial American Eagle ad. "Handed down by my parents before me and their parents before them, my genes are yellow," Tiffany Fong said as she ate rice with chopsticks, calling it the Asian version of the American Eagle ad. There is no wordplay with genes and jeans here, as Tiffany Fong meant only jeans and not genes, unlike the American Eagle advertisement that is at the center of a major controversy.

The row has drawn a political line as well, with MAGA leaders blaming the liberals for targeting the advertisement. “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My genes are blue,” Sydney Sweeney said in the viral advertisement, drawing flak for glorifying good genes.

American Eagle defended the campaign, saying that it is only about jeans. “‘Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans’ is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We’ll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way,” the brand said without bowing down to the pressure.

Vice president JD Vance commented on the controversy and said the liberals are attacking everyone who thinks Sydney Sweeney is beautiful. “And it’s like, you guys, did you learn nothing from the November 2024 election? Like I actually thought that one of the lessons they might take is we’re going to be less crazy. The lesson they have apparently taken is we’re going to attack people as Nazis for thinking Sydney Sweeney is beautiful. Great strategy, guys,” he added.

“That’s how you’re going to win the midterm, especially young American men. Their course correction lasts about 30 seconds,” Vance said, adding that the Democrats have gone even crazier.

While social media users are praising Tiffany Fong's video, she was recently in the news after a report said that she refused to bear Tesla CEO Elon Musk 's baby.
