Ruby Rose<\/strong><\/a> is publicly calling out Sydney Sweeney<\/strong><\/a> following low box office sales for the opening weekend of her Christy Martin<\/strong> biopic.<\/p>\n \u201cThe original Christy Martin script was incredible. Life changing. I was attached to play Cherry,\u201d Rose, 39, claimed via Threads<\/a> on Tuesday, November 11. \u201cEveryone had experience with the core material. Most of us were actually gay. It\u2019s part of why I stayed in acting. Losing roles happens all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n Rose also insinuated that Sweeney, 28, was not a supporter of the LGBTQ+ community, writing, \u201cNone of \u2018the people\u2019 want to see someone who hates them, parading around pretending to be us.\u201d (The film’s subject, female boxer Christy Martin, identifies as a lesbian.)<\/p>\n Sweeney has voiced support for the queer community, telling PinkNews<\/a> in October that she was \u201cexcited\u201d for members of the community to see Christy and hoped that Martin\u2019s story would \u201copen doors for others.\u201d<\/p>\n Directly addressing Sweeney, Rose concluded, \u201cYou\u2019re a cretin and you ruined the film. Period. Christy deserved better.\u201d<\/p>\n Us Weekly has reached out to Sweeney for comment.<\/p>\n The Best and Worst of the 2025 Oscars: Ariana Grande, Zoe Saldana, Conan O\u2019Brien and More<\/a><\/p>\n Sweeney opened up about how \u201cproud\u201d she was of Christy after the film, which premiered in theaters on November 7, grossed $1.3 million<\/a> across more than 2,000 screens in its opening weekend \u2014 making it one of the lowest debuts in box office history.<\/p>\n \u201cI am so deeply proud of this movie,\u201d she wrote via Instagram on Monday, November 10. \u201cProud of the film [director David Mich\u00f4d<\/strong>] made. proud of the story we told. proud to represent someone as strong and resilient as Christy Martin. This experience has been one of the greatest honors of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n Sweeney continued, \u201cThis film stands for survival, courage, and hope. through our campaigns, we\u2019ve helped raise awareness for so many affected by domestic violence. we all signed on to this film with the belief that christy\u2019s story could save lives.\u201d<\/p>\n The Housemaid star went on to thank viewers for \u201cbelieving\u201d in Christy\u2019s story, adding, \u201cIf Christy gave even one woman the courage to take her first step toward safety, then we will have succeeded.\u201d<\/p>\n Sweeney concluded, \u201cSo yes I\u2019m proud. why? because we don\u2019t always just make art for numbers, we make it for impact. and christy has been the most impactful project of my life. thank you christy. i love you.\u201d<\/p>\n Sydney Sweeney as Christy Martin in ‘Christy’<\/span> Black Bear \/Courtesy Everett Collection<\/span><\/p>\n Christy follows Martin, 57, who began her career in 1989 after she met trainer James Martin<\/strong> (portrayed by Ben Foster<\/strong> in the film). She won the World Boxing female super welterweight title in 2009 and continued to box until 2012. Martin became the first woman boxer elected to the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame in 2016.<\/p>\n Christy nearly died in 2010 after she was attacked by James. He was arrested and charged with attempted first-degree murder and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. James was later found guilty of attempted second-degree murder and is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence.<\/p>\n The athlete went on to tie the knot with fellow boxer Lisa Holewyne in 2017. The biopic explores Christy\u2019s journey with her sexual identity after she realized she was a lesbian in the fifth or sixth grade, as well as her struggles with her mother\u2019s homophobia.<\/p>\n Earlier this year, Christy praised Sweeney\u2019s performance in the biopic at the film\u2019s world premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival in September.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n
