Sydney Sweeney's Novig Ad Draws Criticism Over Nude Portrayal in Sports Campaign
Sydney Sweeney's recent advertisement for the sports trading app Novig, featuring her appearing nude while using sports equipment to cover herself, has sparked widespread criticism on social media. Many users, particularly women involved in sports, described the ad as inappropriate and regressive, arguing it sexualizes women and undermines efforts to be recognized for their athletic talent. This backlash follows similar controversy over Sweeney's 2025 American Eagle denim campaign. The ad has generated debate about the portrayal of women in sports marketing.
