Ruby Rose has entered the ring to take a swing at Sydney Sweeney \u2014 blaming the actor, now known for her choice in jeans<\/a>, for \u201cChristy\u2019s\u201d disastrous debut. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe original Christy Martin script was incredible. Life changing,\u201d the former \u201cBatwoman\u201d<\/a> star wrote<\/a> in a Monday post on Threads. \u201cI was attached to play Cherry. Everyone had experience with the core material. Most of us were actually gay. It\u2019s part of why I stayed in acting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cChristy<\/a>\u201d stars Sweeney<\/a> as Christy Martin<\/a>, the groundbreaking boxer who raised the profile of her sport during her Hall of Fame career. The movie follows Martin as a closeted lesbian boxer trying to navigate her professional ascent, an abusive marriage to her toxic coach and her identity. It made just $1.3 million at the domestic box office during its opening weekend.<\/p>\n

In her Threads post, Rose mentions \u201closing roles happens all the time\u201d in Hollywood, but doesn\u2019t hold back from expressing her disapproval that Sweeney is the one portraying Martin. <\/p>\n

\u201cChristy deserved better,\u201d Rose said. \u201cNone of \u2018the people\u2019 want to see someone who hates them, parading around pretending to be us. You\u2019re a cretin and you ruined the film. Period.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her comments appear to be in response to Sweeney\u2019s Monday Instagram post<\/a> in which she shared how \u201cdeeply proud\u201d she was of \u201cChristy\u201d despite it flopping at the box office. <\/p>\n

\u201c[W]e don\u2019t always just make art for numbers, we make it for impact,\u201d Sweeney wrote in the caption accompanying a gallery led by an image of her bloodied but smiling. \u201c[A]nd christy has been the most impactful project of my life. thank you christy. i love you.\u201d <\/p>\n

Attitudes regarding the \u201cEuphoria\u201d actor have been increasingly divided since her part in a controversial American Eagle ad campaign<\/a> around her \u201cgood jeans.\u201d Since then, it has been reported<\/a> that Sweeney registered to vote as a Republican in Florida shortly before the 2024 presidential election and prominent right-wing figures<\/a> including President Trump and Vice President JD Vance have voiced their support for the actor. <\/p>\n

Sweeney, for her part, has avoided discussing her political beliefs. In the lead-up to \u201cChristy\u2019s\u201d release, she told LGBTQ+ news site PinkNews<\/a> that she was \u201cexcited\u201d for the queer community to see the movie because \u201cshe is an unbelievable advocate for the community and I believe this is a beautiful story to tell.\u201d <\/p>\n
