Sydney Sweeney is currently in the limelight after her nude photoshoot for a sports advertisement. For the unversed, Sweeney recently appeared in a debatable, bare-bodied September 2026 advertisement for Novig. The actress received a lot of hatred for the controversial ad and was criticized for promoting sexualization in sports.
Sydney Sweeney revealed her father’s reaction to her nude scenes
Sydney, who is known for her nude pictures and bold scenes, once spoke about her father’s reaction to them. Sydney’s popular character ‘Cassie Howard’ in the show Euphoria had garnered a lot of negativity for its bold scenes. During her appearance on Sunday Today with Willie Geist, she revealed how her father reacted to her nude scenes and said:
“Yeah, I didn’t prepare my dad…at all. I mean how do you bring up a conversation? Also, when I talk to my dad it’s usually not about work…we talk father-daughter conversations. My dad and my grandpa turned it off and walked out.”
While her father and grandfather were not prepared for the actress’s bold scenes, her mother and grandmother were supportive. The 29-year-old actress was quoted by Us Weekly as saying that her mom supported her work and even visited her on set. But her dad was the opposite, as she revealed:
“My mom visited me on set at the time, so she knew the story, and I talked to her a lot about it …my dad didn’t.”
Sydney Sweeney struggled to cope with the criticism over her nude campaign
After the ad was released, Sydney Sweeney was called out for her bold shoot. Following the hate train directed at her, Sydney allegedly hit back by dropping photos of athletes from similar bare-body shoots.
Following that, Sydney took to her Instagram Stories and shared a series of nude photos of athletes from ESPN’s famous Body Issue magazine, including that of Serena Williams, Ronda Rousey, Sue Bird, Megan Rapinoe, Rob Gronkowski, and Jason Kelce.
Meanwhile, Serena Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian, slammed Sydney for comparing an entertainment advertisement to an athlete’s tribute to her physique. He criticized her for allegedly promoting the sexualization of female sportspersons through her ad. According to Ariarne, the ad undermined women who spent years building careers in sports with utmost dedication and hard work.
After facing huge criticism over her ad campaign, a source close to Sydney Sweeney told the National Enquirer that the actress was really upset about the intense backlash she received for her Novig ad campaign. The source said that the actress was trying to put on a brave face but was not able to deal with the criticism. The source also revealed that she could not fathom what she did wrong to become a target of a hate train.
The insider also pointed out that the 29-year-old The Housemaid star lost thousands of followers and even hit a new low in sales for her lingerie line, SYRN. The source clarified that Sydney did not intend to put female athletes down through her Novig commercial.
