Ruby Rose's Bold Words on Sydney Sweeney's 'Christy' Role

Ruby Rose recently shared her strong opinions about Sydney Sweeney's casting in the movie "Christy, " a biopic about boxing champion Christy Martin. Rose, who was once considered for a different role in the film, took to social media to express her disappointment. She started by praising the original script, calling it "incredible" and "life-changing. " Rose mentioned that she was initially attached to play a character based on Martin's real-life girlfriend, Sherry Lusk. She also noted that many actors involved in the project had personal connections to the story, as most of them identified as gay. However, Rose's tone shifted when she addressed Sweeney's public relations team. She criticized them for defending the film's performance at the box office, which only made $1. 3 million in its opening weekend in the U. S. Despite respectable reviews at film festivals, the movie did not attract a large audience. Rose directly criticized Sweeney, calling her a "cretin" and accusing her of ruining the film. She argued that audiences would not want to see someone they perceive as hating them, pretending to be part of their community. Sweeney, on the other hand, defended her performance and the film's impact. She posted on Instagram that the goal was to tell Christy's story in a way that could inspire and save lives. Sweeney expressed pride in her work, hoping that the film would give even one woman the courage to take steps toward safety. This controversy is not the first time Sweeney has faced backlash. Earlier this year, she was at the center of a media storm after appearing in an American Eagle ad campaign. The ad's use of the word "jeans" was interpreted by some as an allusion to eugenics and even compared to "white supremacy" and "Nazi propaganda. " The debate reached the White House, with Vice President JD Vance and former President Donald Trump weighing in on the issue.
