Viral Sydney Sweeney hot mic video disabled on request after millions of views

A video of Sydney Sweeney that racked in over two million views has been disabled by X in response to a request by the copyright owner.

The action has led some people, who were divided over whether the video was real or AI-generated, to become convinced that the copyright request was made because the clip was authentic.  

Story is that Sydney Sweeney was recorded making an audible noise on a hot microphone while filming a scene for the HBO series "Euphoria." 

In the clip she was seen on all fours on a lounge chair, wearing a red checker print crop top and matching shorts, when a loud sound emanated from behind her. 

Sweeney briefly turned to look over her shoulder before smiling and continuing with the scene.

“Stop it,” one person could be heard saying off-camera.

The clip was posted on Monday to an Instagram account known for satirical content. The post’s caption jokingly suggested the audio had been “enhanced using cutting edge AI wind detection software.”

Sweeney, who plays Cassie Howard in the popular drama series, appeared unfazed as filming continued.
