Actress Sydney Sweeney recently took to Instagram to call out a fraudulent account claiming to be her registered dietician for five years. The account had posted a reel showcasing how their services had provided the actor with five grasping “easy food swaps” which helped her obtain her dream role. Although the account has been deleted, Sweeney’s comment in response to the video went viral, garnering eyes from more than her followers. She replied, “I don’t know you and kraft mac and cheese is for life.”
In other news, Sweeney and Glen Powell have recently delivered the highest-grossing R-rated rom-com ‘Anyone But You’ in nearly a decade. The movie follows the storyline of Bea and Ben, two people who hold blatant antipathy towards each other, yet pretend to be in a relationship during a destination wedding in Sydney, Australia. This movie has nudged past the $100million mark since its release making it the greatest-meaning R-rated romantic comedy since Bridget Jones’s Baby in 2016.

Starring Dakota Johnson in the lead role of a woman who gains psychic powers, Sweeney co-stars as Emma Roberts and Adam Scott in the movie, directed by S.J.

The negative reviews following the premiere significantly hampered the movie’s overall performance, some of them calling it “an embarrassing mess”.
Sweeney’s public demand for the truth behind the fake dietician account shows how online fraud has become increasingly prevalent in the past few years. Online facades of celebrities and their personal teams offering deals, discounts and endorsements have spiraled in recent times, leading to cautious behaviour by fans and celebrities alike.
