Sweeney's Empowering Response
Sydney Sweeney recently took to Instagram to address a wave of body-shaming comments following paparazzi photos of her in a bikini.
The 27-year-old 'Euphoria' star shared a video featuring derogatory remarks labeling her as “quite frumpy” and “chunky,” with some critics suggesting she should “hit the gym” more often.
Ironically, Sweeney's response included a series of photos and videos showcasing her intense workout routine, featuring activities like tire-pushing, weightlifting, and boxing. Her impressive physical transformation is part of her preparation for a new film role, where she portrays '90s boxing icon Christy Martin.
Sweeney's Instagram post not only showcased her dedication to fitness but also highlighted her commitment to her craft. Her training regimen is part of her preparation for an upcoming role in David Michôd’s new film, where she will embody the life of Christy Martin.
"I’ve been immersed in training to bring to life the story of an incredible woman — a true champion who fought battles both inside and outside the ring," Sweeney shared on Instagram.
The role is both physically and emotionally demanding, but Sweeney is excited to take on the challenge and share Martin's inspiring story of resilience and strength.
The actress's candid response to body shaming has garnered support from her peers in the entertainment industry. Riverdale alum Lili Reinhart commented on Sweeney's post, expressing her disdain for the negative remarks and praising Sweeney's dedication to her work.
Reinhart wrote, "It's always wild to see people publicly out-themselves as pieces of s*** with comments like that. You look incredible and your dedication to your project is very inspiring.” This support highlights the solidarity among actors against online bullying and body shaming.
Sweeney is no stranger to addressing online criticism. In May 2021, she posted an emotional video on Instagram after discovering she was trending on Twitter for her appearance. "I know everyone says, ‘You can't read things,’ and ‘You shouldn't read things,’ but like, I'm a f***ing person," Sweeney said, emphasizing the real impact of words.
