Los Angeles, California – After the huge outcry over her nude advertisement for a sports betting portal, Hollywood starlet Sydney Sweeney seemed to vanish into thin air. Now the actor has finally resurfaced.

Since the controversial ad campaign was released almost two weeks ago, the 29‑year‑old has hardly been seen in public, and her social media accounts have gone silent.

Everyone was wondering what the Housemaid star has been up to, and now she has seemingly answered via TikTok.

Anyone hoping for a statement about her ad – or even an apology – will be sorely disappointed.

Instead, Sweeney posted a wide grin and showed off her latest acquisition: a 1968 Mercedes SL 280.

"1968 Mercedes 280 SL welcome home," Sweeney wrote in the caption of her newest TikTok video.

There, she mainly shares her love of classic cars and their restoration with fans, swapping out her normally flashy red carpet outfits for overalls and a wrench.

What she plans to do with her new piece of jewelry in the garage, car enthusiast Sweeney didn't reveal.

One thing is certain, though: the purchase of the Benz couldn't have been cheap!

The Benz series, also known as the "Pagoda," typically costs anywhere from $65,000 to over $230,000, with an average market value somewhere around $100,000.
