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.
