She’s been doing advertisements that have really catered to incels but her most recent one was talking about “good genes” in an American eagle ad campaign. A lot of people have been talking about its eugenic undertones (overtones?).

"Jeans are passed down from parents to offspring. Often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color." Camera focuses on her eyes "My jeans are blue”

American eagle then tried to gaslight and claim they tots meant just "jeans" but wait:

Btw eugenics= good (eu) heritage/genes (genos)

Ah yes the enlightened centrist. “Just calm down bro” it’s “just an ad for genes (jeans) bro”

She is from like a pro trump family (she hosted like a maga-themed party for them or something) born in spokane, sold her bathwater and in general is flirting with the whole "white is right" tradwife/old money/lolita "american beauty" trend that is going on.

She became a current culture war figure due to her "jeans" ad where she basically said the fourteen words while also honoring an old pedo jeans ad.
