Australian actor and model Ruby Rose has ignited a social media firestorm after publicly blasting Hollywood star Sydney Sweeney over the disappointing box office performance of Sweeney’s latest film, the boxing biopic Christy. Rose’s scathing remarks have quickly become one of the most talked-about celebrity feuds of the week, drawing reactions from fans and industry insiders alike.
Ruby Rose’s “Bizarre” Tirade Goes Viral
On November 10, Ruby Rose took to the social media platform Threads to vent her frustration, labeling Sweeney a “cretin” and accusing her of “ruining the film” about legendary boxer Christy Martin. Rose, who has never been shy about voicing her opinions, claimed that Martin “deserved better” than what Sweeney delivered on screen.
The outburst didn’t stop there. Rose’s comments were picked up by major outlets, with Sky News Australia describing her tirade as “bizarre” and pointing out the unusually personal nature of her criticism. Sky News contributor Jaimee Rogers called the attack “ridiculous,” highlighting how Rose’s focus on Sweeney’s performance and appearance seemed to cross a line.
What Sparked the Feud?
Christy, starring Sydney Sweeney as the trailblazing boxer Christy Martin, was highly anticipated but ultimately failed to connect with audiences, resulting in a disappointing box office run. Rose’s public condemnation appears to stem from her admiration for Martin and her belief that the film failed to do justice to the boxer’s legacy.
While Sweeney has not publicly responded to Rose’s comments, the controversy has fueled debate online about the pressures actors face when portraying real-life figures—and the sometimes harsh scrutiny from their peers.
