Sydney Sweeney fired from ‘Devil Wears Prada 2’ sparks ‘cancelled’ rumors

In her scene, which reportedly lasted three minutes, Sweeney was said to be styled by Emily Charlton – played by Emily Blunt – before crossing paths with recurring characters Andy Sachs, played by Anne Hathaway, Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep, and Nigel Kipling, played by Stanley Tucci.

But the sequence was ultimately removed, with production sources citing structural issues within the film’s narrative.

An insider told us: “There is a growing belief among some involved that Sydney’s removal goes beyond creative editing and reflects a wider discomfort within parts of the industry.

“People are openly wondering if she has been sidelined because of the way she is seen politically, with some describing it as frozen by more left-wing, snobbish liberal figures in Hollywood.”

Another source said: “While the official statement is about pace and structure, there is a sense that her controversies made Sydney a more complicated presence for the project, and that contributed to the decision.”
