Sydney Sweeney's public controversies over her ostensible socio-political ideas and disturbing ad campaigns have landed her new movie, Christy, in major trouble. The transformation Sweeney went through, which could have been her magnum opus, turned the film's roar into a whisper. What was touted to be a film of ultimate grit and glory now sits under a cloud of criticism, not only from the public but also from actress Ruby Rose, who was previously attached to the project.

The promise of punch and purpose the film had appears to crumble as Ruby Rose speaks out against Sydney Sweeney.

A deluge of mixed reactions and scandals hampered Christy movie's success, and Ruby Rose blamed it all on Sydney Sweeney. Rose did not bother to mince her words in a Threads post shot at Sweeney, accusing her of homophobia and calling her a "cretin" as well as a "psychopath." Rose, who gained fame starring in Orange Is the New Black, added, "You ruined the film. Period. Christy deserved better." She also asserted that she was originally involved in the project, which she called Cherry, comprised primarily of queer actors.

The Batwoman actress stated that the final version of the film lacked the true spirit of the earlier script she had read in the Threads post. Rose's wrath turned even more harshly towards Sweeney's PR, whom she accused of taking advantage of LGBTQ+ themes, as she wrote, "None of ‘the people’ want to see someone who hates them." Since Christy's terrible opening, Sweeney's latest controversies have caused doubt about her ability to depict the queer sports icon, with Rose's rant acting as a catalyst and critique alongside its collapse and present discourse surrounding the once-highly anticipated film. This call-out post has left many curious about Rose's version of the boxing icon's saga, nevertheless.

Sydney Sweeney's movie might have failed at the box office, but Christy Martin's legend deserved a silver screen. But what would Rose's iteration of the movie look like?

Sydney Sweeney addressed the film's box-office failure, writing on Instagram, "We don’t always just make art for numbers, we make it for impact." However, that seemed to have triggered Ruby Rose, who immediately called her out on social media. Sweeney was reportedly revealed to be a registered Republican shortly after her American Eagle ad campaign earned criticism for spreading white supremacist propaganda. This scandal pits Sweeney on the opposite socio-political and ethical pole of the legendary lesbian boxer, Christy Martin's story, who survived an attempted murder by her former husband and coach.   

Meanwhile, Rose's reference to her initial Cherry project likely referred to Martin's high-school girlfriend, Sherry Lusk, in the title. Though the world will never know what was in that project, Rose's performances can be well re-lived in Orange Is the New Black, John Wick: Chapter 2, The Meg 2, Pitch Perfect 3, Batwoman, Dirty Angels, SAS: Red Notice, The Doorman, XXX: Return of Xander Cage, and more. Each highlights a new facet of Rose’s range before the latest controversy shone the limelight on Sweeney’s critically butchered biopic.
