Christy Martin countered critiques of Sydney Sweeney‘s portrayal of her in the biopic “Christy” … appearing to throw some jabs at detractor Ruby Rose.
Posting a picture of herself with the “Euphoria” star, Christy wrote … “I’ve always been a fighter. My life reflected that in every way and now I fight for others. The past few days I have seen some people attack my friend Sydney Sweeney.”
The retired boxer continued … “Syd not only worked her ass off for this film, she worked her ass off for me. For my story. For so many others suffering in silence. So I want to be clear about who Syd is. She is my friend and ally!”
This comes after Ruby took a few shots at Syd on her Threads account, indicating the LGBTQ+ community is not a fan of “someone who hates them, parading around pretending to be us.”
She wrote, “You’re a cretin and you ruined the film. Period. Christy deserved better.”
The accusations of homophobia may stem from reports claiming Sydney registered as a Republican in 2024.
As for the film, “Christy” had one of the worst opening weekends for a major motion picture, taking in an underwhelming $1.3 million, according to Variety.
