Summary
Movie producer Carol Baum (“Father of the Bride,” "Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) probably wishes she’d just kept her mouth shut. Last week, during a Q&A sesh after a screening of “Dead Ringers” - a movie she produced in the 80s - Baum started ripping into Sydney Sweeney for her performance in the rom-com, “Anyone But You.” She called the “Euphoria” star “not pretty” and pointedly said she “can’t act.” After Carol’s comments were made public, it didn’t take long for Sydney’s supporters to clap back. Looks like in the future, Carol should watch what words her mouth “produces.”
