"All I see are red hats and red flags," Ferrada wrote. "Girl bye, this explains why you got so scared when my Mexican boyfriend was trying to fix lighting by you at the HCA awards and you freaked out and had your bf come shooo him while he was doing his job and has no idea who you even are."
She concluded: "Why were you so scared? It's giving karennnn."
Sweeney has not responded the Ferrada's allegations.
Ferrada hasn't been the only one who has called out publicly called out Sweeney, as many people on Twitter have taken to criticizing the actress for refusing to call out her family's problematic behavior.
"If you’re white and unwilling to completely shame your parents for their conservative views, you’re just as complicit and need to be escorted out," one user wrote.
Another user added: "If the politics of Sydney Sweeney’s parents shock you, you’re gonna be pretty disappointed when you find out the politics of most white people’s parents, but especially the famous ones."
The instant backlash caused Sweeney to issue a statement via Twitter, writing: "You guys this is wild. An innocent celebration for my mom's milestone 60th birthday has turned into an absurd political statement, which was not the intention. Please stop making assumptions."
While Sweeney was met with even more criticism following her statement, with one user replying to her tweet, writing, "Then you should've selected other pictures to post that wouldn't be left up to interpretation in this manner. Lesson learned for you, I 'assume,'" other users defended the actress.
"My dad voted for Trump (twice) and I still love him lmao, just because your family thinks one way doesn't mean you all have to think the same," another user tweeted.
