Sydney Sweeney Claps Back at Body Shaming as She Preps to Be a Boxing Legend in Upcoming Biopic

Buy Me A Coffee

Sydney Sweeney, the queen of “Anyone But You,” is stepping into the ring—not just for a movie role, but to deliver a knockout response to the body shamers lurking behind their keyboards.

As Sydney gears up to play boxing legend Christy Martin in a new biopic, she recently found herself on the receiving end of some truly awful comments about her appearance. Apparently, the internet thought it would be a great idea to body shame her after some paparazzi snapped pics of her looking fabulous in a bikini. I mean, who doesn’t love a beach day, right?

On Friday (December 13), Sydney decided to give these trolls a little something to chew on. She took to Instagram, posting a video that was a masterclass in trolling the trolls. The footage showed her sweating it out at the gym, getting ready to channel her inner fighter. Meanwhile, the backdrop featured some truly cringe-worthy comments from the peanut gallery.

“Too pale and she needs to lose a few pounds around the middle,” one of the digital dunderheads said. Another proclaimed her a “5 at best.” Wow, really? I didn’t realize we were taking ratings for a beauty contest! What’s next—giving out medals for the worst comments?

But fear not, because Sydney wasn’t about to let those haters bring her down. In between flipping tires like they were mere pancakes and flexing her impressive biceps, she showcased her true strength—both physical and mental. The post was the perfect juxtaposition of haters’ words and her powerful gym footage, like a David versus Goliath tale, except David has some serious muscles.

While her initial post was as silent as a well-trained ninja, she returned to her stories the next day (December 14) to throw in a cheeky “Christy Martin strong.” You can practically hear her throwing shade across the gym!

And if that wasn’t enough, Sydney also shared a supportive message from her makeup artist, Melissa Hernandez, which said, “So proud [for Sydney] for embracing her transformation for this role—your dedication and strength are truly inspiring.” Melissa went on to point out how it’s heartbreaking how mean some people can be, but hey, Sydney’s got a whole squad cheering her on, and they’re all ready to fight back!
