Sydney Sweeney has boldly confronted body shamers in a powerful Instagram video, merging harsh online comments with clips of her rigorous training for her role as boxing icon Christy Martin.

In the video released on Friday, the Emmy-nominated actor opens by addressing the toxic criticisms directed at her body, showcasing a collection of harsh comments that span from offensive to downright demeaning.

“Is she expecting?” Have you been stung by a swarm of wasps? Imagine plunging into a sea of donuts and chips! One individual commented, while another remarked: “Without any artifice—makeup, filters, or Photoshop—she is truly unattractive!”

Another commenter remarked, “She possesses an exceptional level of averageness, which is precisely why she ensures her chest is the first thing to make an entrance in any room.”

“Was she portraying the live-action version of Miss Piggy?” struck another, and someone else referred to her as the “Pillsbury Dough-Girl.”

“Amazing body, but the face doesn’t match,” one commented.

Clips of Sweeney’s intense workouts were featured in the video, showcasing her dedication as she gets ready to embody the former world boxing champion. Her fitness regimen includes rigorous training sessions crafted to physically prepare her for the role.

Commenters rallied behind Sweeney, encouraging her to brush off the negativity.

“Ignore what they say, sweetheart,” one user commented.

“You look absolutely stunning!” “It seems like jealousy is the common theme,” another remarked.

Another person chimed in, “She’s absolutely stunning, everyone should take a closer look.”

In October, the White Lotus actor took to Instagram to showcase her stunning transformation into Martin, following the emergence of paparazzi photos from the set. “It seems the secret is out, courtesy of some photographers hiding in the bushes. So, here’s a sneak peek from the film I’m currently working on,” she shared.

“In recent months, I have dedicated myself to training to vividly portray the journey of an extraordinary woman—a genuine champion who faced challenges both within and beyond the ring,” Sweeney elaborated. “Her journey embodies resilience, strength, and hope, and I’m privileged to step into her shoes to share her inspiring story with you all. Stay tuned for more updates coming your way soon.

The Instagram carousel showcased the Euphoria star flaunting dark brown hair with bangs, a striking departure from her iconic blonde locks, complemented by images that highlighted her toned arm muscles. Sweeney is poised to portray the iconic boxing legend who ruled the women’s boxing scene throughout the 1990s and 2000s.

On May 8, Sweeney took to Instagram to reveal her role as Martin in an upcoming biopic directed by David Michôd. In a conversation with Deadline, she expressed her eagerness to fully embrace the role.

“Christy’s journey is anything but easy; it’s a profound test of both physical and emotional strength, laden with significant burdens.” “I thrive on pushing my limits,” she shared, revealing her eagerness to return to the ring, train hard, and reshape her physique.

She expressed that her attraction to the role stemmed from Martin’s remarkable journey, as she “not only legitimized female boxing, but also triumphed over gender stereotypes and persevered through emotional, physical, and financial abuse.”

Martin, renowned as “The Coal Miner’s Daughter,” made history by becoming the first female boxer to sign with the legendary promoter Don King, achieving an impressive professional record of 49 wins, 10 losses, and 3 draws. In 2020, Martin’s remarkable accomplishments earned her a prestigious spot in the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
