Sydney Sweeney Could Be in Legal Trouble for Vandalizing Hollywood Sign With Bras

Sydney Sweeney may be known for her great jeans, but she might be in some legal trouble over her bras.

The Housemaid actress was recently filmed at night as she climbed Mount Lee, the location of the Hollywood sign. During the shoot, she strung up a clothesline of bras and was seen climbing the H with handfuls of undergarments. 

There was one problem: While Sweeney had a permit to film at the sign, she didn't have permission to touch or climb it. Now the star could face charges of criminal trespass and/or vandalism. 

Why Was Sydney Sweeney Putting Bras on the Hollywood Sign?

The irony of Sweeney, who is known for appearing topless on the red carpet, being in trouble over bras isn't lost on us. So, other than the attention, why did the actress put a bunch of lacy underthings on the Hollywood sign?

According to TMZsources say the purpose of Sweeney's stunt was to promote the launch of her yet-to-be-named lingerie line. This venture is reportedly backed by an investment firm led by Jeff Bezos. This would explain her presence at the Amazon founder's wedding to Lauren Sánchez last summer. 

After the shoot, most of the bras were taken down. However, reportedly four or five remained and could still be up for grabs. 

As mentioned above, Sweeney had a permit to shoot at the Hollywood sign but did not have permission to touch or climb it. 

Additionally, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which owns the landmark, told the production company that Sweeney could not use the video for commercial purposes, as the Chamber holds intellectual property rights to the sign. 

"We understand that you received a film permit from FilmLA, whose staff assures me that you were notified of the requirements to seek a license from the Chamber prior to your suit," an email read. 

Further, the Chamber told TMZ that "there was no permission granted to do this as is required."

When the outlet asked whether the Chamber would file a police report against Sweeney regarding the video, they did not respond.
