Comedian Tim Dillon slams Sydney Sweeney critics upset with steamy ad: 'How insane is that? '

Comedian Tim Dillon went on a fiery rant in defense of actress Sydney Sweeney , who came under fire for a nearly nude advertisement for the sports prediction market company Novig.

Sweeney heard it from female athletes who said they didn’t want to be hyper-sexualized.

She was seen in the ad posing in several shots with strategically placed sports equipment covering her mostly nude body.

What are these female athletes upset about?" Dillon said on his podcast .

"What is Sydney Sweeney going to do? You want her to gain weight and be some fat rugby player? She's taking her t--s out and you should be happy about it." Several female athletes didn’t appear to take too kindly to the ad.

Australian Olympic gold medalist swimmer Ariarne Titmus, British sprinter Amy Hunt and former American gymnast Gracie Kramer were among those to denounce the ad.

Dillon took Australian surfer Felicity Palmateer to task after she told CNN that the campaign was "very damaging, especially for young females getting into sport, for females in sport, for females in general, just hypersexualized content." "No one is valuing female athletes for what they look like," Dillon said.

He continued, "Female athletes are great and we love them and we respect them and they're important, but no one thinks because Sydney Sweeney, a hot actress, put her t--s with a football, that everyone is sexualizing female athletes now.

"No one's sexualizing you.

How insane is that? Sydney Sweeney's hot is part of her appeal.

She's also a very good actress, but she's hot.

That's part of why they do an ad with her and they know it gets controversy." Dillon predicted that more companies would look to do ads with Sweeney now because of the uproar over every little thing the actress does.
