Sydney Sweeney was a good sport when a comedian cracked jokes about her chest.
While enjoying a date night with Scooter Braun at The Laugh Factory in Los Angeles on Tuesday, the âEuphoriaâ star sat front and center as Erik Griffin spoke about her ditching her top on the HBO show.
The 53-year-old quipped that Sweeneyâs chest is âalways out ⊠for no reasonâ as Cassie Howard.
Griffin sarcastically said that the Emmy nominee filmed sans top âat the pharmacy,â adding, âItâs wild.â
Sweeney cracked up â as did Braun, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The outlet noted that it is unclear whether Griffin knew the couple, who reportedly held hands under the table throughout the show, were in the audience.
He took the stage before headliner Matt Rife â and after Jackson McQueen called Sweeney and Braunâs seating area the âGroupOn section.â
Sweeney was fresh off her World Series outing earlier that same day with boxer Christy Martin, whom she portrays in the âChristyâ biopic.
The âWhite Lotusâ alum, who has been romantically linked to Braun since September, bared all in a sparkling sheer dress designed by Christian Cowan the following evening.
The âAnyone But Youâ star made a speech, dedicated to Martin, at Varietyâs 2025 Power of Women event Wednesday about being âdefinedâ by others and âunderestimatedâ in the industry.
Sweeney has spoken candidly over the years about filming topless âEuphoriaâ scenes, revealing to the Independent in January 2022 that she requested some be cut that didnât feel ânecessary.â
âIâve never felt like Riley Cardoza Sam [Levinson] has pushed it on me or was trying to get a nude scene into an HBO show,â she explained.
âWhen I didnât want to do it, he didnât make me,â Sweeney continued, going on to say she was âvery proudâ of her work on the series despite the stigma surrounding it.
âWhen a guy has a sex scene or shows his body, he still wins awards and gets praise,â she pointed out. âBut the moment a girl does it, itâs completely different.â
Sweeney also clapped back at âdisrespectful and distressingâ trolls who tagged her brother, Trent Sweeney, in nude photos of her online.
She doubled down on this in a November 2022 interview with GQ, saying, âIt got to the point where they were tagging my family. My cousins donât need that. Itâs completely disgusting and unfair.â
At the time, Sweeney described feeling âostracizedâ over having âboobs before other girlsâ in her younger years.
âI was embarrassed and I never wanted to change in the locker room. I think that I put on this weird persona other people had of me because of my body,â the âHandmaidâs Taleâ alum recalled.
âSo I did play every sport and I studied really hard and I did everything that people wouldnât think I would do, to show them that my body doesnât define who I am.â
