Sydney Sweeney's Hairdresser Clashes with Fashion Critic Over 'Stiffest Wig' Remark

Sydney Sweeneys longtime hairstylist, Glen "Coco" Oropeza, defended the actress after a social media critic targeted her recent look. Internet personality Blakely Thornton had described Sweeneys appearance as a "stiff wig" following her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on December 1.

Thornton shared an Instagram Reel, expressing disapproval of Sweeneys hairstyle and suggesting it aligned with certain political aesthetics. I dont want to keep talking about this white girl, but Im very aware that at this point, her and her teamare committed to the bit, Thornton said. Why else would you go on a late-night talk show looking like Effie Trinket's lost niece? The stiffest wig this side of the Mississippi unless you want to get read for filth.

Later, Thornton posted another Reel including a screenshot of a comment exchange with Oropeza, though the comments have since been deleted. According to the screenshots, Oropeza wrote, Wasn't a wig but you can't get my girl's name out of your mouth. You're obsessed. He continued with, Stiff where? You're doing a lot Take a breath, diva. You can keep trying to spin a narrative, but we all know you just need click bait cuz your content is TIRED. Imagine caring this much about a hairstyle you didn't create and a woman who doesn't know you exist. Goodnight.

In response, Thornton replied, I hope you get paid overtime for being a sycophant after 9pm PST. If so I can sign your timesheet. And you're right, Black people are tired very much so good luck on the rest of the press tour.

Thornton has a history of critiquing Sweeneys fashion choices and social circle, previously commenting on her high-profile birthday party and appearances alongside figures like Jeff Bezos.
