"Is this sport?": Sydney Sweeney criticized by athletes for advertisement where she appears naked

Euronews Portugal15 September 2026 at 13:19

Sydney Sweeney, star of the series "Euphoria", was once again the target of online criticism due to a new advertisement where she appears naked. The 27-year-old actress faced strong backlash, this time coming specifically from women's sports.

Female athletes expressed their displeasure with the advertising campaign, questioning the actress's choice to pose naked for a fashion brand. The debate became polarized between those who defend "her body, her choice" and others who accuse the campaign of setting feminism back.

This is not the first controversial moment in Sweeney's career. The actress had previously faced criticism for other advertising campaigns, which has fueled a pattern of constant scrutiny over her public image.

The controversy arises at a time when the debate about female objectification and the limits of artistic expression remains active, with women's sports positioning itself as critical of Sweeney's choices.

Why this matters

Readers interested in women's sports and entertainment note that the criticism of public figures by athletes continues to influence the discourse on female representation and the limits of feminism in popular culture. This type of controversy can affect the public perception of both Sweeney and the athletes involved in the debate.

Loneliness for two: when a couple merely lives together and becomes a domestic business

The article addresses "loneliness for two," a phenomenon in which couples who live together lose their emotional connection and start functioning merely as household administrators, dividing tasks and practical responsibilities without maintaining a true affective bond. The text explains that this loneliness settles in gradually: first kisses and hugs disappear, then deep conversations, and the relationship becomes a domestic business where one handles the shopping, the other pays the bills, but both no longer talk about their feelings. The article warns that this dynamic can be even more painful than the loneliness of someone who is alone, since the person has someone physically present but feels emotionally abandoned.
