The Real Christy Martin Did Not Hold Back After Ruby Rose Took Shots At Sydney Sweeney: ‘I Want To Be Clear About Who Syd Is’

In the days after Christy’s release on the 2025 movie schedule, it didn’t seemingly do so great at the box office. However, Sydney Sweeney made it clear just how much she cares about the movie (and the finances aren't as dire as some are making it seem). Regardless, there's seemingly been more talk about the flick than movie tickets sold, and Ruby Rose sparked more debate when she made some blunt comments. Following that criticism, the real Christy Martin has spoken out.

Outspoken actress Ruby Rose shocked the internet earlier this week when she got candid about feeling Sydney Sweeney did not deserve the Christy Martin role. In a lengthy post on Threads, she implied people did not get out to see Christy because it did not have an LGBTQ+ lead like Martin herself, stating she feels Sydney Sweeney "ruined" the film, amongst other bold claims.
