NFL player accused of paying model for flashing stunt during Giants game to distract opponents – Times of India

New York Giants‘ season has been a rollercoaster of on-field struggles and off-field controversies. The latest bizarre chapter involves social media influencer Ava Louise and an alleged attempt to distract the New Orleans Saints during their recent matchup. And if these claims happen to be proven true, then it’s wild, yes– it’s wild.

Model Says Giants Player Offered Free Tickets for Flashing to Distract Opposing Team

High drama outside the MetLife on Sunday, as the New York Giants lost the game against the New Orleans Saints, by 14-11. A model Ava Louise, with over 400,000 followers on her Instagram account, alleged that a Giants player approached her and offered some “cash” for flashing saints, to distract the men during the game.
According to Ava Louise, she was offered free tickets to the game in exchange for carrying out the stunt, which she outlined in a post on social media. She shared screenshots of messages from an unnamed Giants player, who allegedly asked her, “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 reportedly kept his identity private, writing, “Can’t have you put me on blast and get me fined $$ lol.”

Ava Louise posted numerous pictures on Instagram from the game tagging Giants and adding #GoGiants. But she did not reveal whether she carried out the stunt or not. The entire affair has raised eyebrows, casting more bad light over what is a struggling team.
While the reported distraction stint made news, it didn’t do much to influence the performance with which the Giants have been associated. Once again, the team succumbed to a defeat at the hands of the Saints, adding to a torrent of dismay in a dissatisfying season. The agony of this horrible defeat gives the Giants a new and even worse record of 2-11, which then set the ball rolling for talk about leadership changes that might be coming in the franchise. With increasing pressure on head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen, the ship is sailing toward a major overhaul within the franchise.

This isn’t the first time Ava Louise made the headlines for outlandish acts. She was kicked out of another NFL game for doing something similar in 2023. While she has made quite some noise with such stunts, she hasn’t really paid for Sunday’s alleged incident. Whether the NFL or the Giants would follow through with the investigation is still not known.

As the Giants’ season declines, some last bit of drama might really strike and cause them to combust. It surely complicates matters as the Giants constantly face burning questions over their future due to off-field distractions like this for such a stunt. It has much bigger fishes to fry; whether or not this drives further action, it definitely points in that direction as yet another dismal season winds to a close.
