Sydney Sweeney has faced criticism once more, this time due to how she interacted with her dog during a paparazzi encounter in New York City, where she attended the 2025 Met Gala. The recent controversy surrounding Sweeney follows close on the heels of the backlash she received over her outfit at the annual high fashion event, as fans felt it didn’t align with the event’s main theme or dress code.
So why is Sydney Sweeney facing backlash over her dog? Here’s what you need to know.
Why is Sydney Sweeney facing backlash over her dog?
Sydney Sweeney is facing backlash because of the way she treated her dog when greeting paparazzi.
More recently, the actress who stars in “Anyone But You” made a trip to New York City for the 2025 Met Gala. A day following the event, she was spotted outdoors at The Carlyle Hotel in Manhattan, accompanied by her German Shepherd, Sully Bear, while being snapped by photographers.
In the moment the camera clicked, Sweeney grabbed her pet dog and struck a pose together. Yet, the dog let out barks when the bright lights illuminated both it and Sweeney.
For a moment, Sweeney set the dog aside, yet she quickly retrieved it, appearing to disregard its persistent barking and turning movements, as she persisted in taking pictures.
Viewers who witnessed the entire event concluded that the dog seemed distressed and overpowered by its environment, possibly exacerbated by the paparazzi’s calls for Sweeney. In response, they voiced their disapproval towards the Euphoria star on social media platforms.

“This is awful,” one user commented under the Reddit thread, depicting the event.
“This is so cruel, take that poor baby inside!” another user added.
However, some fans supported or defended Sweeney in the comments.
The user mentioned they were preparing the dog for the flashes to prevent reactivity, which is like helping the dog get used to sudden light bursts so it remains calm. Although the actress’s behavior may seem puzzling at first, it’s actually not harmful in the long run.
It’s crucial for young pups to get accustomed to various environments, including bright lights and groups of photographers, since they belong to their owners.
Back in April, I, the gamer, shared a special someone with my followers on Instagram – none other than my trusty sidekick, Sully Bear! This furry pal of mine is more than just a friend; he’s my bowling partner, napping buddy, water enthusiast companion, and travel mate. You could say we’re quite the dynamic duo!
