Ruby Rose blames 'cretin' Sydney Sweeney after 'Christy' flops at the box office
In a Threads post on Monday, Nov. 10, "Orange Is the New Black" alum blamed Sweeney for the film's lack of success, which centered around the openly lesbian former boxing pro, and also revealed she was initially in talks to star in the movie.
"The original Christy Martin script was incredible. Life changing," Rose wrote. "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."
She condemned the comments Sweeney made following the low box office news. Sweeney reflected on how "proud" she was to tell Martin's story, adding that, "we don't always just make art for numbers, we make it for impact."
"For her PR to talk about it flopping and saying SS [Sydney Sweeney] did it for the 'people.' None of 'the people' want to see someone who hates them, parading around pretending to be us," Rose continued. "You're a cretin and you ruined the film. Period," Rose concluded. "Christy deserved better."

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
