After reports began circulating that longtime Hollywood producer Carol Baum spoke about Sweeney during a movie screening, questioning her appeal by saying that she is not “pretty” or a strong actress, a rep for the “Anyone But You” star gave a scathing statement on the matter to Fox News Digital.
“How sad that a woman in the position to share her expertise and experience chooses instead to attack another woman,” the statement read. “If that’s what she’s learned in her decades in the industry and feels is appropriate to teach to her students, that’s shameful. To unjustly disparage a fellow female producer speaks volumes about Ms Baum’s character.”
