After the release of the “Angry” music video in September, critical voices were repeatedly raised on social media: The Rolling Stones were turning the actress into an object with the sexually connoted portrayal of Sydney Sweeney in the clip.

But Sydney Sweeney explained in an interview with “Glamour” that she would see the clip scenes with herself primarily as statements for body positivity and empowerment. “I think that your own body can be incredibly empowering.
