Sydney Sweeney shocks fans by selling ‘creepy and disgusting’ product made with her bath waterSydney Sweeney shocks fans by selling ‘creepy and disgusting’ product made with her bath water Home> Celebrity> News Updated 18:08 29 May 2025 GMT+1 Published 17:55 29 May 2025 GMT+1 Sydney Sweeney shocks fans by selling ‘creepy and disgusting’ product made with her bath water Some fans aren’t so keen on the idea Liv Bridge Liv Bridge Fans of Sydney Sweeney have been left shaken as the star launches a ‘creepy and disgusting’ product. If you’ve heard of Gwyneth Paltrow’s infamous ‘This Smells Like My Vagina’ candle, brace yourself for what The Handmaid’s Tale star has got in store. The 27-year-old TV star has created a new product that she says has come straight from her used bathwater. Sweeney’s Bathwater Bliss with Dr. Squatch has made a batch of 5,000 bars for sale – and if you doubted whether its ingredients are made up of any old water, each bar apparently comes with its own authentication certificate that confirms it’s made from her bathwater. Announcing the bizarre bar of soap, which is marketed as a ‘men’s natural soap bar’, Sweeney said: “When fans start asking for your bathwater, either ignore it or turn it into a soap.

In a provocative ad, Sweeney posed from a steamy tub to promote a body wash, where she said: “Hello you dirty little boys, are you interested in my body… wash?” “Well you can’t have it, because this isn’t for boys. It’s for men. This is Dr. Squatch Natural Body Wash with long lasting, natural aromas like wood barrel bourbon, pine tar, coconut castaway, and fresh falls.” It was apparently so successful that it inspired Sweeney and Dr. Squatch to go a step further with the soap bar, with the star adding in another post on Instagram: “You kept asking about my bathwater after the @drsquatch ad… so we kept it. “Introducing Sydney’s Bathwater Bliss! A very real, very limited-edition soap made with my actual bathwater.” Eager fans can purchase a bar as of June 6 this year, which promises the ‘ultimate blend of outdoor serenity with refreshing notes of pine, douglas fir, earthy moss, and a touch of Sydney’s Bathwater Bliss.’ There’s apparently a limited run of 5,000 bars. However, not everyone is particularly thrilled by the concept with dozens of fans racing to social media to call it ‘creepy and disgusting.’ “I love you Sydney but what the f*** is this,” said one fan. Others seemed enraged by the ‘weird’ marketing for men, saying it sets women’s rights back. “We’re never making it out of the patriarchy,” another chimed, while another agreed: “This is what happens when you are admired by mostly men. They reduce you to a mere object of desire.” The actress shot to fame for her role in the HBO drama Euphoria (Gilbert Flores/Variety via Getty Images)The actress shot to fame for her role in the HBO drama Euphoria (Gilbert Flores/Variety via Getty Images) The actress shot to fame for her role in the HBO drama Euphoria (Gilbert Flores/Variety via Getty Images) A fifth added that it was simply an ‘unclassy’ and ‘uncouth’ gimmick. Some have, however, found the funny side in the new product. “Whatever makes men take showers,” read one comment. Another wrote: “This is so disgusting but I just know the men gonna sell it out so go off sis!” The move comes as Sweeney is set to appear in the third and possibly last season of the teen drama, Euphoria, where the star shot to fame in the series playing Cassie.

Poppy Bilderbeck Poppy Bilderbeck Sydney Sweeney has revealed the surprising reaction her grandparents had to seeing her get naked on screen in Euphoria. The 26-year-old actor rose to fame for her role as Cassie in hit HBO series Euphoria, a teen drama which features many moments of alcohol consumption, drug-taking, sex and nudity. Sweeney’s character takes part in multiple scenes of the latter, something the actor slightly forgot when inviting her whole family to the premiere of the series. Appearing on Ellen Degeneres’ The Ellen Show in 2022, the host asked how Sweeney’s parents ‘feel’ about the more x-rated and nude scenes in Euphoria as well as ‘the whole show really’. In a clip from the interview posted on YouTube, Sweeney explains: “For the premiere, I invited my entire family […] like my grandparents, my uncle. I was like, ‘It’s the Hollywood premiere like you gotta come!’ “And we were all sitting next to each other and giant screen, like ginormous screen. I was on the floor.” Sweeney notes she ‘wasn’t thinking’ when she invited her whole family, explaining she was just ‘so excited’ by it all she forgot about the nude scenes they were about to see. But how did her grandparents react? Sydney Sweeney did some topless scenes in Euphoria.Sydney Sweeney did some topless scenes in Euphoria.

Ellen resolves: “Alright then, grandma approves.” And sure enough, Sweeney’s grandma gives the cameras a big thumbs up. Sweeney’s grandparents’ avid support of her role in the series and career subsequently acts as even more of a middle finger up to trolls who decided to go around tagging members of her family in photographs taken of her nude scenes in Euphoria.

HBO In an interview with GQ, Sweeney reflected on the dark irony of the situation, noting: “You have a character that goes through the scrutiny of being a sexualised person at school and then an audience that does the same thing.” The actor called the tagging ‘completely disgusting and unfair’ and noted any backlash she’s received for the scenes has simply made her want to ‘play characters that p*ss people off more’. Sweeney has also spoken out about the ‘stigma against actresses who get naked on screen’ and the double standard she believes exists when women do nude scenes opposed to men. So, given Sweeney has voiced she was completely comfortable getting naked in Euphoria and felt fully support by screenwriter Sam Levinson – and her grandparents approve too – trolls should stop crying about it and find something else to do.

The actor and TV host opened up about some behaviour which she described as ‘inappropriate’ for the workplace. In fact, she revealed that it was so bad that she thinks if the pair hadn’t been married it could have seen her fired over inappropriate conduct. On Thursday’s episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, Kelly opened up about their backstage antics, and it’s fair to say that things got more than a little heated when the cameras weren’t on. The pair have been married for 28 years, but the passion is clearly still very much alive. Kelly recalled the story to the audience, teasing about the pair’s backstage antics. Right at the beginning of the program she said: “I’ve got to tell you something. I did something backstage that was so inappropriate that, if we weren’t married, I would probably be fired right now.” That’s certainly one way to open a show, and Kelly continued by explaining that she had admired her husband’s shirt.

She continued: “But, I was like, ‘My gosh, your thighs feel like they are made out of metal or stone.’ Marble! Carved out of marble. “I’m backstage rubbing up and down his thighs, like, it doesn’t even seem possible. I realize people are looking at us like, ‘are you okay? Do you forget that you’re in a place of business?’ And, yes is the answer!” Her husband of 28 years laughed, and joked that he ‘may or may not file a grievance’.

Reflecting on the elopement, she said: “It really is such an efficient way to get married. And it was fun. We were like, ‘Now, this is gambling!

(Taylor Hill/FilmMagic) The pair eloped and have been married for 28 years – sometimes when you know, you know! (Taylor Hill/FilmMagic) She continued, seemingly for the benefit of the crew, saying: “But, I have to explain myself. I started at the [shirt], and I was like, ‘I really love this shirt, I think it’s gorgeous on you’. “And he goes, ‘Oh, thank you.’ And he goes, ‘Feel these pants. These pants are really comfy’.” The host went on to describe how she had then felt her husband’s pants, saying that they felt ‘nice’. She continued: “But, I was like, ‘My gosh, your thighs feel like they are made out of metal or stone.’ Marble! Carved out of marble. “I’m backstage rubbing up and down his thighs, like, it doesn’t even seem possible. I realize people are looking at us like, ‘are you okay? Do you forget that you’re in a place of business?’ And, yes is the answer!” Her husband of 28 years laughed, and joked that he ‘may or may not file a grievance’.

It’s so inappropriate, but, congratulations on your thighs!” The pair, both 53, married in 1996 and have three children together. After meeting on the set of All My Children in 1995, the pair clearly felt the spark straight away as they eloped to Vegas. Ripa revealed that they spent $179 on their elopement, including air fare. Reflecting on the elopement, she said: “It really is such an efficient way to get married. And it was fun. We were like, ‘Now, this is gambling! Woohoo!'” And no, the wedding was not carried out by an Elvis impersonator. Featured Image Credit: Gilbert Flores/Variety via Getty Images/ABC Topics: News, US News, Celebrity, Film and TV Read More
