Sydney Sweeney responds brilliantly to horrible body shaming remarks on viral photos

Sydney Sweeney has offered a powerful rebuttal to the harsh body shaming remarks she has encountered online.

For public figures, social media often becomes a breeding ground for negativity, prompting some stars to limit their digital engagement as a defense mechanism.

Recently, Sydney Sweeney, known for her role in Euphoria, has been targeted by body shamers. She decided to address these comments on Instagram in a remarkable manner.

The actress shared a brief video starting with screenshots of numerous body-shaming messages she’s received, with some labeling her as ‘quite frumpy,’ ‘very chunky,’ and ‘tubby.’

Following the barrage of derogatory remarks, the video transitions to Sweeney clad in workout attire at the gym.

The clip then shows a sign reading ‘hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard,’ depicting Sweeney’s intense training session where she punches a bag and flips a large tire.

The Instagram video has attracted a wave of supportive comments commending Sweeney’s handling of the online criticism.

One user expressed bewilderment: “I will never understand the hate in people‘s hearts when it comes to leaving comments like this.”

Another questioned: “Ngl why do people feel entitled to talk about someone’s body specially someone you don’t personally know,” while a third emphasized: “No one has the right or reason to make comments on anyones body, ever.”

Lili Reinhart also commented: “It’s always wild to see people publicly out themselves as pieces of shit with comments like that. You look incredible and your dedication to your project is very inspiring.”

The video concludes with the name ‘Christy Martin’ appearing on screen, alluding to Sweeney’s forthcoming biopic where she portrays the celebrated female boxer.

Boxing enthusiasts may recognize Christy Martin as a former professional boxer who won the WBC female super welterweight title in 2009.

Sweeney has previously discussed her approach to embodying her film roles, sharing with The Los Angeles Times in March that she is a ‘very hands-on collaborator.’

“I like being able to give ideas, be a part of it, help come up with solutions. It just changes the whole process,” she stated.

Sweeney further explained: “It’s so hard for me now to be on a set and not be able to help in any type of way and be able to take action. And being able to actually have a voice and have a valued opinion—it means so much.”
