Sydney Sweeney is holding zero space for any negativity.
On Friday, the “Madame Web” actress, 27, slammed body-shamers on social media after online trolls took aim at her appearance in the comment section of a Daily Mail article that featured photos of Sweeney sunbathing at her Florida home.
“Nothing to see here other than an average chunky Yankee girl,” one user commented on the article.

“Too pale,” another wrote. “And she needs to lose a few pounds around the middle.”
Addressing the critics head on, Sweeney – who has wrapped a blockbuster year after starring in films such as “Madame Web,” “Immaculate,” and “Eden” – posted a video montage on Instagram featuring a number of horrific comments about her appearance.

Towards the end of the video, Sweeney shared footage of herself working out in the gym, lifting heavy weights, and training in a boxing ring.
At one point, the video pans to a sign that reads, “Just Don’t Quit.”
Many were quick to praise Sweeney’s clap back.
“It’s always wild to see people publicly out-themselves as pieces of s—with comments like that,” Lili Reinhart wrote. “You look incredible and your dedication to your project is very inspiring.”
“Strong baddie,” Kesha added.
Sweeney’s latest role as professional boxer Christy Martin has left her unrecognizable. In a recent Instagram post, Sweeney posed in costume alongside the real Martin with both of them holding up a fist.
“We have wrapped filming Christy Martin’s story and it has been one of the most emotional, transformative experiences of my life. Christy’s journey is so deeply inspiring, and having her by my side during this process was nothing short of surreal,” she wrote in the caption.
She continued, “There were moments on set where I’d glance over at her standing by the monitors, cheering us on, and I’d just become so emotional. Knowing what she’s endured, what she’s pushed through to be there in that moment—it made me want to cry.”
Throughout the rest of the caption, Sweeney thanked the cast and crew of the movie, later adding she is excited for audiences to “witness a story that’s as powerful as the woman who lived it.”
In a new interview with Glamour magazine, the “Euphoria” star told the outlet that photographers showed up at her new Florida home while she was there with her family and yelled at them to force her to come out in a bikini for a photo.
“They said, ‘If you tell her to just come outside in a bikini, I’ll take pictures and then I’ll leave you alone,’” she said.
To make it even worse, Sweeney said people on social media suggested she called the paparazzi.
“Why would I call the paparazzi to take pictures of me at my own house when my baby cousins and family are there and I’m in my backyard? Why would I ever want that?” she told the magazine.
She added that she has photos of paparazzi in “kayaks hiding in bushes in the ocean. They got there at 8 a.m. and wouldn’t leave until 4 p.m. I should be able to be in my home and feel comfortable and safe.”
“When those photos go out, then my actual safety is at risk,” she said of paparazzi photos of her at home. “Everyone knows where I am. Now there’s boats that go by, and I literally hear them say, ‘This is Sydney Sweeney’s house.’ It becomes a star tour in my front yard.”
