Sydney Sweeney Hung Bras From the Hollywood Sign, But a Leaked Email Notes a Big Issue with the Stunt
Sydney Sweeney had an interesting idea for some promo…but unfortunately, there may be some red tape that has gotten in her way.
Apparently, a few days ago, the 28-year-old The Housemaid star was seen climbing on the iconic Hollywood sign to string up a clothesline of bras. She reportedly did this as a promo shoot for her lingerie line, for which Jeff Bezos is an investor.

TMZ has video of the alleged moment.
However, here’s where some legal issues may come into place: the site reports, “Sydney got a permit from FilmLA to shoot the Hollywood Sign, but she did not have permission to touch or climb the sign itself.”
They have an email, apparently sent from the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, explaining.
It reads:
Marcus-
It has come to our attention that you and crew filmed the Hollywood Sign last night for a production connected with Persuasion Pictures. Please be advised that the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce owns the intellectual property rights to use of the image of the Hollywood Sign and neither you nor the production company have sought or received permission to use the images captured for any commercial use. We understand that you received a film permit from FiImLA, whose staff assures me that you were notified of the requirements to seek a license from the Chamber prior to your shoot.
Please contact me so that we can discuss this and work to reach an agreement on your proposed use of our IF).
Thank you for your cooperation.
In a statement to TMZ, the Chair of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce said, “There was no permission granted to do this as is required.”
Apparently, this could all come with a criminal trespass and/or vandalism charge, but the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce did not say whether or not they would pursue that option.
Stay tuned as we learn more.
By the way, Sydney attended Jeff Bezos‘ wedding last year, around the time we learned about reports about a potential lingerie line.
