The Immaculate star shared a roundup of cruel comments reacting to recent photos of her in a bikini before cutting to photos and videos of her training regimen for an upcoming biopic about boxer Christy Martin in an epic Instagram video.

We might be nearing the end of 2024, but there still are people who refuse to let other people's bodies just be... bodies. Bodies that don't need to be commented on, bodies that don't need to be criticized, bodies that just exist alongside a lot of other bodies.

Fortunately, people on the receiving end of body-shaming comments are getting more and more creative in their responses.


Actress Sydney Sweeney uses her Instagram like most of us do by capturing fun moments from her life, travels, time with friends, and of course important behind-the-scenes moments for films and commercials.

This summer, as Sweeney appeared in photos traveling, swimming, and frequently wearing a bikini, negative comments started to pour in about the shape and size of her body and what the commenters believe that said about Sweeney as a person.

The comments intensified when it was leaked that she's in the process of conditioning her body to portray famous boxer Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic. While physically training and likely consuming more protein, the actress displayed more defined muscles than she did previously, which led to a new wave of comments.

Sweeney decided that she had put up with enough and put together an epic response video.

The first half of the video featured screenshot after screenshot of negative comments about her body, her size, and her appearance.

The second half of the video switched to clips of her exercising and conditioning her body for the biopic, including flipping large tires and lifting weights.

You can watch the video here:

Fans of Sweeney were quick to show their support for her and her response.

It's one thing to notice someone's body changing, especially when they're conditioning for a movie and it would only stand to reason that their physical form would change to match the story, but there is no need to comment on those changes.

Fortunately for Sydney Sweeney, she can hold her own out there on social media, just like Christy Martin.

GOP Senator Accidentally Tells The Truth About Pete Hegseth's 'Qualifications' In Freudian Slip For The Ages

Oklahoma Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin was mocked online after he accidentally called President-elect Donald Trump's Defense Secretary pick Pete Hegseth "unqualified" during a Fox segment, although he meant to say "Pete Buttigieg," referring to the outgoing Secretary of Transportation.

The selection of the former Fox weekend host has sparked surprise within the Pentagon, where officials have privately questioned his qualifications for the role. The extent of his relevant experience appears to be that he's an Army National Guard veteran, having served in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
