Ruby Rose<\/a> isn\u2019t mincing words when it comes to \u201cChristy,\u201d the big-screen biopic starring Sydney Sweeney<\/a> as boxing champion Christy Martin. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n In a fiery post shared to Threads<\/a> early Tuesday, the \u201cOrange Is the New Black\u201d actor tore into Sweeney\u2019s portrayal of Martin while revealing that she had been in the running for a part in the movie. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThe original Christy Martin script was incredible. Life changing. I was attached to play Cherry,\u201d Rose wrote, <\/span>likely alluding to the character of Rosie<\/a>, based on Martin\u2019s real-life girlfriend, Sherry Lusk<\/a>. \u201cEveryone had experience with the core material. Most of us were actually gay. It\u2019s part of why I stayed in acting. Losing <\/span>roles happens all the time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Rose, however, took specific issue with Sweeney\u2019s representatives, who have been defending \u201cChristy\u201d publicly to celebrity.land<\/a> and other outlets after the movie earned just $1.3 million<\/a> at the U.S. box office in its opening weekend, despite garnering respectable reviews<\/a> at film festivals ahead<\/a> of its release. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cFor her PR to talk about it flopping and saying SS did it for the \u2018people,\u2019\u201d <\/span>she wrote. \u201cNone of \u2018the people\u2019 want to see someone who hates them, parading around pretending to be us.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Addressing Sweeney specifically, she added, \u201cYou\u2019re a cretin and you ruined the film. Period. Christy deserved better.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Representatives for Sweeney did not immediately respond to celebrity.land\u2019s request for comment on Rose\u2019s remarks. On Monday, however, the \u201cEuphoria\u201d actor defended her performance in \u201cChristy\u201d against naysayers focused on the film\u2019s disappointing box office debut, noting that \u201cwe don\u2019t always just make art for numbers, we make it for impact.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cwe all signed on to this film with the belief that christy\u2019s story could save lives,\u201d she wrote on Instagram<\/a>. \u201cthank you to everyone who saw, felt, and believed and will believe in this story for years to come. if christy gave even one woman the courage to take her first step toward safety, then we will have succeeded. so yes I\u2019m proud.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Sweeney, who will be seen opposite Amanda Seyfried in \u201cThe Housemaid\u201d next month, was at the epicenter<\/a> of a media firestorm<\/a> in July after appearing in an American Eagle ad campaign that celebrated the way her \u201cgreat genes\u201d made her look in the brand\u2019s \u201cgreat jeans.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Truth<\/span>Has No<\/span>Bias<\/span><\/p>\n Your Support<\/span>Fuels<\/span>Our Mission<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Your Support<\/span>Fuels<\/span>Our Mission<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
