UPDATE: In a shocking outburst, actress Ruby Rose has publicly criticized Sydney Sweeney, blaming her for the poor performance of the newly released film ‘Christy’. This urgent statement comes just days after the movie’s dismal box office debut, where it earned a mere $1.3 million during its opening weekend, marking one of the worst performances for a major motion picture.
Ruby Rose took to her Threads account on Monday to voice her discontent, claiming that the original script of ‘Christy’ was “life changing.” She indicated that she was originally attached to a role, possibly referring to “Cherry,” although it’s unclear if she meant to play a character linked to the film’s subject, Christy Martin, or another role that didn’t make it to the final cut.
The backlash escalated when Ruby suggested that the film’s cast, many of whom identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community, are dismayed by Sydney’s involvement. Ruby stated, “You’re a cretin and you ruined the film. Period. Christy deserved better.” Her remarks highlight an ongoing tension as she implied that Sweeney, who stars in the hit series ‘Euphoria’, is not genuinely supportive of the LGBTQ+ community.
Critics have been harsh on ‘Christy,’ but Ruby’s comments add a personal layer to the controversy, escalating the stakes surrounding the film’s reception. Sydney Sweeney has addressed the criticism on Instagram, saying she does not always focus on the “numbers” when working on a project, yet the overwhelming response from audiences suggests otherwise.
As the film continues to generate headlines, viewers and fans are left wondering about the impact of this public feud. Ruby’s remarks not only challenge Sydney’s credibility but also resonate with a significant portion of the movie-going public who feel misrepresented.
What happens next remains to be seen, but with Ruby Rose’s allegations gaining traction, the conversation around ‘Christy’ is far from over. Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops.
