“All the people say is this whole industry is ‘women empowering other women’. None of this is happening. It’s all fake and a front for everything else, they say, behind everyone’s back.”

The two-time Emmy Award nominee speculated about why she believes women may not actually support other women.

“I mean, there are so many studies and different opinions about the reasoning behind it. I’ve read that we’ve been raised all our lives – and it’s a generational problem – to believe that there can only be one woman at the top. There is one woman who can get the man. There is one woman who can be, I don’t know. something,” she explained.

“So then everyone else feels like they have to fight each other or put that one woman down instead of saying, ‘Let’s all lift each other up,'” the “White Lotus” actress added.

‘I’m still trying to figure it out. I’m just doing my best here. Why am I being attacked?’

“None of this is happening. It’s all fake and a cover for all the other things they say are going on behind everyone’s backs.”

The producer recalled seeing Sweeney’s hit film “Everyone But You” when she was on the plane.

“I wanted to know who she is and why everyone is talking about her. I saw this unwatchable movie – sorry for people who like this movie – (this) romantic comedy where they hate each other,” Baum said.

Baum, who also works as a professor at the University of Southern California, added: “I said to my class, ‘Explain this girl to me. She’s not pretty. She can’t act. Why is she so pretty? ‘”

The producer told the audience “no one had an answer” to her question.

When reached for comment on Baum’s comments, a representative for Sweeney issued a scathing statement on the matter to Fox News Digital.

“How sad that a woman in a position to share her expertise and experience would choose to attack another woman instead,” the statement said. “If that is what she has learned in her decades in the industry and thinks it is appropriate to teach her students, it is shameful. To wrongly disparage a fellow female producer speaks volumes about Ms. Baum.”
