Gigi Paris Blasts Ex Glen Powell Over Sydney Sweeney PR Romance Scheme

Gigi Paris, Glen Powell's ex-girlfriend, opened up on the "Too Much" podcast about the painful breakup in early 2023 following rumors of a romance between Powell and his "Anyone But You" co-star Sydney Sweeney. Paris described feeling "shattered" and disrespected, saying she chose to walk away after Powell dismissed her concerns by framing the rumors as a professional necessity for promoting the film. She criticized Powell for never denying the cheating rumors and accused both him and Sweeney of leveraging the gossip as a PR strategy, which Powell later confirmed was intended to boost the movie's success. Paris expressed frustration over how the situation was handled, feeling discarded and publicly humiliated after being with Powell for over three years. Powell acknowledged the chemistry with Sweeney and admitted to leaning into the rumors for publicity, calling the tactic "wonderfully" effective. Paris's remarks highlight the emotional toll the publicity stunt took on her and underscore the challenges of balancing personal relationships with career-driven PR schemes.
