While her bold advertising campaign for the sports betting platform Novig continues to cause reactions on social networks, an old video of the actress in tears has resurfaced and is causing a lot of reactions among Internet users.
In this Instagram Live video from 2021, the star ofEuphoria appears visibly upset after being the target of cruel comments online. In tears, she explained that she had become trending on Twitter due to criticism of her appearance and recalled that, despite her fame, she remained “a real person” affected by the words of others.
This video resurfaces as the actress faces a wave of criticism over her recent Novig ad, in which she appears naked, strategically hidden behind various sports accessories. The campaign is intended to be humorous and aims to promote an application solely dedicated to sports betting, but several Internet users and athletes have denounced a representation considered retrograde and too focused on the sexualization of women.
Once again, Internet users are divided. Is the ad revenge on all the people who criticized Sydney? Many believe it, while others point out that she is an actress and can probably cry on command.
