Sydney Sweeney has seemingly responded to the backlash surrounding her latest sports betting campaign, though the Euphoria actor has stopped short of directly addressing the criticism. After facing flak for appearing mostly naked in an advertisement for sports trading app Novig, Sweeney took to Instagram Stories to share images of athletes who have posed for similarly styled photoshoots.

The campaign, which featured Sweeney using sports equipment including footballs, basketballs, hockey gear and tennis racquets to cover herself, sparked criticism from athletes and social media users. Many argued that using her body to promote a sports-related betting platform sexualised women’s sports at a time when female athletes continue to push for recognition based on their talent and achievements.
