bizarre off-field controversy has emerged from Sunday’s New York Giants vs. New Orleans Saints game at MetLife Stadium. Model Ava Louise, who boasts over 400,000 Instagram followers, alleges that an unnamed Giants player paid her to “flash” the Saints during the game as a distraction tactic.
The Giants lost the game 14-11 after a missed last-second field goal, falling to a disappointing 2-11 record for the season. While the Giants‘ performance on the field continues to disappoint, the off-field antics have only added to the team’s turmoil.
Ava Louise details the alleged stunt
According to Ava Louise, she received free tickets to the game in exchange for carrying out the unusual stunt. She shared screenshots of messages purportedly from the anonymous player, who allegedly wrote, “Hey sexy, got those two free tickets to the game if you do me a solid and flash the Saints to distract them.”
The player, who claims to be on the Giants roster, refrained from revealing his jersey number, stating, “Can’t have you put me on blast and get me fined $$ lol.”
Ava Louise posted photos from the game on her Instagram, tagging the Giants and using the hashtag #GoGiants. However, she did not confirm whether she actually followed through with the stunt.
Giants’ season hits new lows
Even if the alleged distraction tactic occurred, it did little to help the struggling Giants. The team’s offensive and defensive woes continued as they fell to the Saints in front of their home crowd. The loss has intensified speculation about potential changes in the Giants‘ leadership, with head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen reportedly on the hot seat.
This isn’t the first time Ava Louise has made headlines for outrageous behavior. In 2023, she was removed from another NFL game for a similar stunt. However, she has yet to face any reported consequences for Sunday’s events.
As the Giants‘ season spirals downward, incidents like this only add to their woes. Whether the alleged stunt results in further investigation remains to be seen, but the franchise has bigger problems to address as they face another difficult season-ending stretch.
While fans grow increasingly frustrated, at least one person seemed to enjoy the game. “Doing what I do for a living has its perks #gogiants,” Ava Louise captioned her post-game photos.
