Christy Martin Speaks Out As Sydney Sweeney Is Blamed For Film’s Spectacular Flop
HuffPost
“I’ve always been a fighter. My life reflected that in every way and now I fight for others,” Martin wrote.
The real-life subject of Sydney Sweeney’s new movie is speaking out on the “Euphoria” actor’s behalf following criticism of her performance.
On Wednesday, former professional boxer Christy Martin shared a photo of her and Sweeney on the set of “Christy,” which hit theaters last week.
“I’ve always been a fighter. My life reflected that in every way and now I fight for others,” Martin wrote in the caption. “The past few days I have seen some people attack my friend Sydney Sweeney. 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.”
She went on to note: “So I want to be clear about who Syd is. She is my friend and ally!”
Martin’s post came a day after actor Ruby Rose, best known for Netflix’s “Orange Is the New Black,” blasted Sweeney’s portrayal of Martin in “Christy” while acknowledging she’d once been attached to the biopic herself.
