Although many celebrities receive hateful comments daily, in most cases, few of them go on to share the mean posts they've read about themselves. However, on Friday, Dec. 12, 2024, Sydney did just that when she shared what some fans say about her looks. On Instagram, she shared screenshots of users calling her "frumpy," "Butterface," and saying she has a "horrible body" and inquired about her weight gain, with many fans assuming she's pregnant.
The horrific comments were followed by Sydney sharing photos of herself training for her upcoming role as boxer Christy Martin in her biopic. In October 2024, she confirmed the role after stating that paparazzi snapped several photos of her filming without her noticing. In an Instagram post, Sydney shamed the paps for sneaking around the shoot and opened up about the physical and emotional journey she's had while preparing for the role.
