Sydney Sweeney ‘can’t understand why she’s always a target’ amid Novig ad backlash, per source
Sydney Sweeney has reportedly been upset over the backlash for the Novig ad. Her almost nude commercial didn’t sit well with female athletes, who brutally criticized the actress online. Although she tried to clap back through Instagram Stories, the controversy has reportedly left her in tears “behind closed doors.”
A source told National Enquirer that Sweeney is “sensitive and can’t understand why she’s always a target.” The provocative ad has drawn immense backlash from several athletes, which seemed to have affected the actress. In response, she posted a few nude sports celebrity covers of top athletes on her Instagram Story. Despite that, the criticism didn’t seem to die down.
Furthermore, the insider defended the 29-year-old, claiming she was “not putting women down” through the Novig ad. “She wasn’t in any way intending that, and she doesn’t understand how the situation spiraled so much. She’s lost tens of thousands of social media followers over this — it’s a disaster from a business perspective.”
It was also reported that Sweeney has been putting on a “brave face,” but tears up behind closed doors. She is said to be “under so much pressure.” Moreover, the source pointed out that “The Housemaid” star couldn’t seemingly understand why she has to face such criticism. They argued that it was “very unfair” how Sweeney has been treated when many A-list female celebrities “flaunt their figures for a paycheck.”
