Sydney Sweeney calls out body shamers by exposing cruel comments
Sydney Sweeney is standing up for herself.
The “Euphoria” actress, 27, called out body shamers in an Instagram video Friday that featured screenshots of dozens of cruel comments by fans about Sweeney’s appearance.
Sweeney shared the video after she was photographed in a bikini at her $13 million waterfront mansion in Florida.
The comments that Sweeney highlighted in her video blasted her looks.
“Let’s be real here, that body is not that incredible, just saying…,” one comment read.
“She’s not that good looking,” another person said.
“She’s really not very attractive. Not sure why she’s so popular,” a different comment read.
A fourth person wrote, “Not at all her best look. She is better off leaving herself to people’s imaginations.”
“She is painfully average looking,” another comment said.
Somebody else added, “I wouldn’t look twice at this version of her.”
After showing the cruel comments, Sweeney’s video then cut to a highlight reel of her working out for her role as former professional boxer Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic.
The clips showed Sweeney flipping tires, lifting weights in the gym and boxing.

The video also panned to a sign that said, “Just Don’t Quit.”
Sweeney received support in the comments section from her fans as well as some of her celebrity friends.
Lili Reinhart said, “It’s always wild to see people publicly out-themselves as pieces of s–t with comments like that. You look incredible and your dedication to your project is very inspiring.”
“You’re such a badass. This movie is gonna be 🔥,” said Sweeney’s “Anyone But You” co-star Glen Powell.
“The thing is these people would never say it in person. Too scared. But if they ever did? best believe it’s hands,” wrote actor Isabela Merced, who starred with Sweeney in “Madame Web.”
“THIS,” said Sofia Carson.
“Strong baddie,” Kesha wrote.
Sweeney’s fans similarly celebrated her clapback at body shamers.
“Don’t pay attention to it, you are an amazing person,” one comment read.
Another person said, “Ignore then. You still look pretty to me.”
“I can’t even wrap my head around those comments. Are they blind?” a third fan wrote.
Sweeney previously spoke about dealing with criticism about her appearance during an interview on “Today.”
“I kind of just have to take (it) day by day and just keep being myself,” she said.
When asked if she thinks she receives “an unfair amount of scrutiny,” Sweeney said, “I think that it’s just — of course it’s not natural. I’m just trying to figure out how to deal with all of it.”
