Ruby Rose has publicly criticized Sydney Sweeney after the biopic about female boxer Christy Martin grossed only $1.3 million, marking it as one of the poorest box office debuts for a feature film.

Rose took to Threads to express her discontent, accusing Sweeney of “ruining” the movie Christy.

“The original script for Christy Martin was phenomenal, truly life-changing,” Rose stated. “I was initially cast to play Cherry. Many involved were familiar with the core material, and most of us identified as gay. This project was a significant reason I continued acting. Losing roles is a common occurrence.”

She further criticized Sweeney’s PR team and hinted at her political stance. “To have her PR spin the film’s failure and claim Sweeney did it for ‘the people’ is misleading. None of ‘the people’ want to watch someone who disdains them, pretending to be one of us. You’re a fraud, and you ruined the film. Christy deserved better,” Rose wrote.

Decider has reached out to Sweeney’s representatives for their response.

Directed by David Michôd, Christy stars Sweeney as the pro-boxer who became a boxing star in the ’90s. The film captures her rise to fame and the abuse she endured behind closed doors at the hands of her husband and coach, James V. Martin (Ben Foster).

The Batwoman actress may be referencing Sweeney’s recent statement addressing the film’s disappointing weekend in theaters, in which she claimed she doesn’t “just make art for numbers, we make it for impact.”

“I am so deeply proud of this movie,” Sweeney wrote on social media. “Proud of the film david 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. This film stands for survival, courage, and hope. through our campaigns, we’ve helped raise awareness for so many affected by domestic violence.”

“if christy gave even one woman the courage to take her first step toward safety, then we will have succeeded,” she wrote at another point of her statement. “So yes I’m proud. Why? because we don’t 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.”

Sweeney has been caught in a storm of backlash since starring in an American Eagle ad campaign that was criticized for its wordplay of “great genes” and “jeans,” prompting critics to compare it to eugenics. President Trump and Vice President Vance both spoke out in support of her, dubbing it the “hottest ad ever,” which Sweeney said was “surreal” in an interview with GQ.

The Euphoria actress has yet to publicly address the backlash. “I think that when I have an issue that I want to speak about, people will hear,” she told GQ.

Christy is playing now in theaters.
