Sydney Sweeney often makes headlines for her risqué outfit choices and her love life. Recently, the actress faced flak for her nude photoshoot for a sports advertisement. Following a hate train directed at her, she allegedly hit back by dropping photos of athletes from similar bare-body shoots. She faced criticism for it from female athletes and even their partners. Following that, Sydney’s 68-year-old Euphoria co-star Sharon Stone shared her two cents on it.
Sharon Stone made bold statements on Sydney Sweeney following her nude ad backlash
Sydney Sweeney recently appeared in a debatable September 2026 advertisement for Novig, a sports trading and prediction market platform. The video ad and accompanying photoshoot featured a ‘game-day’ theme where the Christy actress appeared bare-bodied. She covered parts of her body with various sports equipment, such as a racket and soccer balls, and performed a series of mock sports, including tennis.
As Sydney faced immense criticism for her nude ad, her co-star, Sharon Stone shared some words of advice for her. Speaking to PEOPLE at Variety’s 2026 Power of Women: Los Angeles event on September 23, 2026, at the Beverly Hills Hotel, the 68-year-old said Sydney Sweeney needs to “take responsibility” for participating in a controversial ad campaign that sparked discomfort among female athletes.
Sharon Stone added that she is in no position to “judge” the 29-year-old Anyone But You actress, and that it was entirely on Sydney to realize what she has done and how to deal with the situation. Sharon didn’t exactly slam Sydney, but she made her stance clear in the ongoing controversy. The veteran star said she would stand by the female athletes who gave their all to make women’s sports a powerhouse of resilience and empowerment. In her words:
“I think that it’s up to her to take responsibility for her actions, not up to me to judge her for her actions. It is up to me to be a cheerleader for the women who have made it through and become champions in women’s sports. We can’t denigrate women’s sports to get men’s attention so they can gamble.”
Sharon Stone dissed Sydney Sweeney for her lingerie line Syrn
Sydney Sweeney’s recent controversy regarding her nude sports ad campaign brought renewed attention to her other bold ventures, such as owning a lingerie line. Her Euphoria co-star Sharon Stone may have taken a subtle jab at her for the same. Sharon began by referencing a Euphoria scene in which her character asks Sydney’s character to stop filming risqué content and instead work on the movie Sharon’s character was producing.
In the scene, Sydney initially agreed to Sharon’s proposal but ultimately did not keep her word. Sharon went on to compare Sydney’s on-screen role to her real-life persona, saying the 29-year-old didn’t follow the veteran star’s advice in the real world either. Sharon made the comment referring to Sydney Sweeney’s lingerie brand Syrn. It seemed like a subtle jab at The Housemaid star’s bold business and other ventures. Sharon’s exact words were:
“In Euphoria, I tried to get Sydney Sweeney’s character to stop being a cam girl and to come and work for me on the series I was producing called LA Nights. And she agreed to stop being a cam girl- which she didn’t do…As you can see from Sydney’s new lingerie line, it didn’t take.”
Notably, just days before Sydney Sweeney’s provocative ad was released, she dropped another bold ad campaign for her birthday-month edition lingerie promotion. For the ad, the actress went topless. The video featured her baking, eating cake, and setting up party decorations in little to no clothes. This particular Syrn ad campaign was her raunchiest yet and went viral, like the Novig ad.
