Sydney Sweeney recently got ripped to play boxer Christy Martin in a biopic, and she wrapped on it last month. However, while she is in great shape and has posted a few times about her love for this project and the woman she’s playing, she’s also been facing a lot of hate and body-shaming comments. Now, she’s flipping the narrative by posting some of the hurtful messages she’s received with photos and videos of how hard she’s been working to get in shape. And the support she’s getting from her fans and other stars like Phoebe Dynevor and Lili Reinhart is heartwarming.
