Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleSydney Sweeney has been making headlines for the last few days, courtesy of her campaign with Novig. The actress appeared almost bare-bodied in the ad for Novig, and she has been facing backlash for the same, as critics argued that instead of using real athletic skills, the campaign relied mostly on the 'male gaze' and used sexualized imagery. Sydney has been targeted on social media, and both female and male athletes, as well as netizens, have slammed her for the same Novig campaign.
Sydney hasn't directly reacted to the backlash; however, she took to her social media handle and posted photos of female and male athletes from a nude photoshoot. Reports recently also claimed that Sydney has been left in tears and is really upset with this entire incident.
Amid this, a video of the Euphoria actress made the rounds on social media, where she could be seen in tears. With the video, many of the social media users believed that it was a reaction of the actress to the recent backlash she faced due to her bare-bodied campaign. However, it's not true.
In the video, which is recently circulating on social media, Sydney Sweeney was seen breaking down in tears while at her house. A devastated Sydney was tearing up as she talked about the online criticism she faced. In the video, Sydney shared how she was trending for being 'ugly'. She also talked about the toll the negative comments take on someone, while adding that she tried to ignore the comments and move forward.
However, Sydney felt that she should break her silence on the same. Stating that people really need to learn how to be kind and nicer on social media, Sydney, with a trembling voice, said:
"Apparently, I am trending on Twitter right now for being ugly… I know everyone says like 'You can't read things,' and 'You shouldn't read things,' but like, I'm a f***ing person. I think it's really important for people to see how words actually affect people. People need to be nicer on social media because it's really f***ed up."
While this video of Sydney Sweeney has been doing the rounds on social media amid the debate surrounding her nude campaign, people thought that it might be a recent clip and that the actress was addressing the recent wrath that she faced on social media. However, this isn't the case. This video, where Sydney was seen breaking down in tears while speaking about negativity, is actually five years old, and it's from 2021.
Sydney hasn't given any direct statement about the current controversy she sparked with her nude campaign for Novig. However, a source close to the actress told the National Enquirer recently that the actress has been left in tears. Sydney is allegedly upset and doesn't understand why the situation spiraled so much and why she is being targeted. According to the source, Sydney never intended to put women down.
As a result of the backlash and controversy, Sydney reportedly lost a lot of followers, which the source claimed was not a good thing from a business perspective. Speaking of business, reportedly, with the recent controversy, there has been a cut in sales of the actress's lingerie line, SYRN.
