Sydney Sweeney Shuts Down Body-Shamers: Bold Reply Breaks the Internet
Sydney Sweeney, the Euphoria star and rising Hollywood sensation, faced harsh online criticism after paparazzi photos of her in a bikini went viral.
Sydney Sweeney, the acclaimed star of Euphoria, is not letting online trolls have the final say about her appearance. After facing cruel comments sparked by paparazzi photos of her in a bikini, Sweeney delivered a bold response that showcased her strength and determination.
Paparazzi photographs taken of Sydney Sweeney in front of her house in the Florida Keys generated an onslaught of nasty, vengeful comments on the internet. Critics declared she was “chunky” and made her one of the contenders for the contentious weight loss drug, Ozempic. Not so. She fired back on Instagram:
Sweeney responded to the trolls in style on Instagram. She shared a video juxtaposing screenshots of the cruel comments with clips of her rigorous training for her role as professional boxer Christy Martin. The footage showed her flipping tires, lifting weights, and sparring in the ring, proving her dedication to the physically demanding role. The video ended with a message of empowerment, emphasizing her hard work and resilience.
An untitled biopic, following the inspiring journey of Christy Martin, one of the most celebrated female boxers who survived a brutal attack by her husband, calls for both emotional depth and complete physical transformation, which Sweeney embraced wholeheartedly.
Actresses such as Margot Robbie and Kate Winslet have also spoken about body shaming in the industry. Winslet, for instance, recently called out the appalling treatment she endured during her early career.
Sydney Sweeney’s case isn’t isolated. Florence Pugh, another Hollywood star, recently voiced her frustrations about the pressures young women face. “It is really exhausting for a young woman to just be in this industry,” Pugh shared in an interview with The Times, calling for an end to stereotypes and undue criticism.
