Ruby Rose Gives Jaw-Dropping Critique Of Sydney Sweeney's ‘Christy’ Casting

The biopic about boxing champ Christy Martin earned just $1.3 million at the U.S. box office in its opening weekend.

Ruby Rose isn’t mincing words when it comes to “Christy,” the big-screen biopic starring Sydney Sweeney as boxing champion Christy Martin.

In a fiery post shared to Threads early Tuesday, the “Orange Is the New Black” actor tore into Sweeney’s portrayal of Martin while revealing she’d once been in the running for a part in the movie.

“The original Christy Martin script was incredible. Life changing. I was attached to play Cherry,” Rose wrote, likely alluding to the character of Rosie, based on Martin’s real-life girlfriend, Sherry Lusk. “Everyone had experience with the core material. Most of us were actually gay. It’s part of why I stayed in acting. Losing roles happens all the time.”

Rose, however, took specific issue with Sweeney’s representatives, who have been defending “Christy” publicly to HuffPost and other outlets after the movie earned just $1.3 million at the U.S. box office in its opening weekend, despite garnering respectable reviews at film festivals ahead of its release.

“For her PR to talk about it flopping and saying SS did it for the ‘people,’” she wrote. “None of ‘the people’ want to see someone who hates them, parading around pretending to be us.”
