Sydney Sweeney Goes Almost Nude Yet Again for New Novig Ad After Backlash

The new spot keeps the provocative imagery as female athletes and social media users criticize Novig’s sports-only message.

  • On Sunday, October 11, actress Sydney Sweeney released another advertisement for betting platform Novig, continuing her campaign despite ongoing backlash from female athletes over the company's September imagery.
  • Female athletes, including British sprinter Amy Hunt and Olympic swimmer Ariarne Titmus, criticized the September launch for reinforcing the sexualisation of women in sport; former Euphoria costar Sharon Stone urged Sweeney to "take responsibility" for the campaign's impact.
  • In the new commercial, Sweeney jokes that "there are grown men making spreadsheets to bet on what color underwear I'm wearing," while referencing 'dictators dying' to contrast geopolitical betting with sports.
  • At a Front Office Sports event on September 15, Novig chief executive Jacob Fortinsky defended the campaign, describing Sweeney as a partner communicating the platform's focus on sports rather than representing female athletes.
  • Critics argued the ads set women back "100 years," yet Sweeney maintains her equity position gives her business interest in shaping the brand's creative direction and strategy alongside Novig's announced rollout of additional adverts throughout autumn.
