Retired boxer Christy Martin defended actress Sydney Sweeney, who plays her in « Christy, » after Ruby Rose called the 28-year-old a « cretin. »
Christy Martin has come out swinging.
The former professional boxer, 57, leapt to Sydney Sweeney’s defense on Wednesday, one day after Ruby Rose slammed the 28-year-old actress and called her a “cretin.”
Rose claimed Sweeney “ruined” the “Christy” biopic, in which she plays Martin.
Martin, in turn, hit back via Instagram on Wednesday at “some people attack[ing]” Sweeney.
“I’ve always been a fighter,” the retired athlete told her followers. “My life reflected that in every way and now I fight for others.
“Syd not only worked her ass off for this film, she worked her ass off for me. For my story. For so many others suffering in silence,” she continued.
