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.

At least Sydney is real.

Yep. It was stupid to release this on the big screen. Should've went straight to HBO.
And Sweeney isn't sexy in it. And now she has a bomb under her belt which is being used to paint a backlash against MAGA.
Sweeney's problem is that she's a TV star, not a movie star. There's a difference. And she works well in TV series with ensemble casts. She was great in season 1 of The White Lotus on HBO. Strongly recommend it.
Nobody wants to see this!
You’re an idiot
Looks the part.
which one is Ruby Rose again?
Am I the only person who thought that they were talking about making a movie about the missionary teach Christie whose book was popular in the 70?
am I that out of touch??
It was more than that. Ruby’s on-set antics helped to tank the show after just one season, at a time when anything Batman or Gotham City was hot stuff.
Ruby claimed that the showrunners created a toxic environment for her and forced her to work despite her fears about COVID-19 dangers.
Warner Bros. Television and several people associated with the production strongly refuted Rose’s account, calling it “revisionist history”. Their response included:
Dismissal for Behavior: The studio stated that Rose was not a victim of a toxic environment but was actually fired from the show “based on multiple complaints about workplace behavior” that were extensively reviewed.
Crew Member Accounts: A production assistant, Alexander J. Baxter, countered Rose’s claims, calling her a “dictator” who was late, never memorized her lines, and was rude to the crew. He alleged she partied and got high, causing delays.
Defense of Co-star: Warner Bros. TV defended Dougray Scott, calling him a “consummate professional” and denying any record of allegations against him.
Other Cast Member Statement: Camrus Johnson, who played Luke Fox, also tweeted that Rose was fired, implying she had done much to warrant the dismissal
To ask the question, in this case, is to answer it.
Aack It must have seen itself in the mirror. Talk about “cretin.” It is jealous.
I’m thinking ‘Fourteen in the side pocket.’
Petty jealousy.
I only heard of her because she played the woke-gay-girlboss version of Batman on TV (Batwoman) for one season and then she was replaced by a black woman to make it even more woke and cringy.
LOL! That was one epic Gen Z Stare that I actually appreciated.
Stop it!!
“Christy” with Kellie Martin and Tyne Daly was very good! I read the book in the late ‘60s. I think my sis said you can watch free on YouTube.
Re this current movie... no interest whatsoever. Female boxers.
Sydney Sweeney is 28 years old.
This Ruby Rose is 39, about to turn 40.
That’s all I need to say.
Mama Dog and baby dog?
So.... would you rather see a flick featuring this freak... or watch Sydney Sweeney for ninety minutes? It’s not a trick question!
WGAS.... except other gays.
LOL! From The Sinatra Group...
