Orange is the New Black star Ruby Rose has slammed Sydney Sweeney for playing queer boxer Christy Martin in the new biopic which was received badly at box office

Sydney Sweeney is once again at the centre of online controversy as Ruby Rose has launched a fierce tirade against the actress, branding her a “cretin” and accusing her of ruining her new biopic, Christy. This outburst is just the latest clash between Sydney and a left-leaning Hollywood figure, after many have criticised her over her political affiliations in recent years.

Ruby, 39, took to Threads on Monday evening to share her frustrations, claiming she had once intended to star in the film about legendary boxer and domestic abuse survivor Christy Martin. The Orange Is the New Black actress said she was originally lined up for the project and alleged that the earlier version of the cast was largely queer before production took the project in a different direction.

She wrote: “The original Christy Martin script was incredible. Life changing. I was attached to play Cherry. Everyone had experience with the core material. Most of us were actually gay. It's part of why I stayed in acting. Losing roles happens all the time.

Ruby Rose was in the first season of CW's Batwoman. I didn't watch it, but from a search, there was flak about her playing a lesbian, despite her saying she was "gender fluid." She claimed she wasn't lesbian enough for the role. I had to look up the meaning of "gender fluid." In my day they were called ac/dc or bisexual. You know libs. They have to change the names of perverted things to make they more palatable.

Rose was fired from Batwoman after the first season. There were all sorts of reasons she gave: back injury, complaints of allergy to latex, which the mask she wore on the show was made of, then came complaints about the behavior of people on the set. It was never pinned down, but in the end Warner Brothers said she was fired because of "multiple complaints about her workplace behaviour."

Her role on "Orange is the New Black" series was for only one season 2015-2016. She did one movie in 2024 titled "Dirty Angels," but has no upcoming projects showing on her IMDb page.

Where you looked it up was wrong. AC/DC and bisexual means someone who sleeps with men and women. That is not what gender fluid means. Gender fluid means that the person could sometimes feel like/"be" a woman, a man, some other gender/s, or a mix at one time.

You’re right. I went back and did another search. Thanks. Glad I’m not up to date on this stupid crap. I prefer being ignorant about it. We had none of this crap when I was a kid in the 50’s. You didn’t even say the word “queer” in public back then. Now the morons want to be called that.
