At the time, many believed Powell and Sweeney have been leaning into the dating buzz as they promoted the film.
During an look on on Emma Klipstein’s “Too Much” podcast in June 2023, Paris explained that she walked away from her relationship with Powell because she was “shattered” over the scenario.

“I had two options,” she said. “I could either pretend like I was going along with everything and have everyone wonder, like, ‘Are they hooking up? Are they not hooking up? Is she okay with this? What the f—?’ Or stand up for myself and say, ‘No, I’m actually not okay with this, and I’m walking away.’ So that’s what I decided to do … I was shattered.”
Paris, who didn’t title Powell or Sweeney, explained that it “sucked” how their breakup was dealt with — and that Powell “never once” shut down the dating rumors.

“It was serving them for their PR. Later on, it turned out that it was all, I don’t know if there was a relationship there or not, but then they came out to say it was all a PR scheme at the expense of our relationship. Like, it was just crazy,” Paris said.
“Just to sell a movie or not, who knows?” she continued, “And I honestly hoped that they’d end up together, because I was like, at least it would make it worth it for me, you know? I hope they are in love or whatnot.”

Last month, Powell addressed Paris’ feedback, telling “GQ” that he’ll always don’t have anything but love and respect for his ex.
“Everybody’s always going to have their own narrative on things and all that. And she’s welcome to it. Relationships are really hard. And when two people break up, they each go to their own brunch and they will each tell their own narrative.”

Sweeney weighed in on the rumors during an interview with “Variety” printed on Monday.
“Honestly, the press did it themselves. There was no leaning in, per se,” Sweeney said. “Truly the tabloids and journalists just created it and stored going.
