Ruby Rose Accusesโข Sydney Sweeney of โค”Ruining” Film ‘Christy‘ Following Disappointing box Office
Actress Ruby Rose alleges โคSydney Sweeney’s behavior on โthe set of the drama Christy negativelyโข impacted โขthe film, contributing to its lackluster performance inโ theaters. The claim surfaced asโฃ the film, which premiered at the Toronto international Film Festival in September, earned $1.3 million at 2,011 theaters-a result widely considered a box officeโค disappointment.
Theโ accusation adds aโ newโ layer of complexity to the narrative surrounding Christy,a project Sweeney โnot only starred in but also produced. While โSweeney publicly expressed prideโค inโค theโข film’s potential impact, especially for women seeking safety, Rose’s statement suggests important behind-the-scenes issues โmay have undermined its โขsuccess. โคThe dispute raises questions about creative control,on-set dynamics,and theโ challenges facing independent films in a competitive market.
Rose made the accusation in a now-deleted post on X โค(formerly Twitter), according โto screenshots โคcirculating online. She reportedly wrote that Sweeney was “not professional” and “ruined the film,” though specific details of the alleged misconduct where not provided. โDeadline has โreached outโค to Sweeney’s team for comment.
Despite the film’s modest opening, Sweeneyโค previously stated she โขwas “so deeply proud โขof this movie.” In โฃaโค recent Instagram post, she โคemphasized โฃthe film’sโค potential to empower women, stating, “If Christy gave even one woman the courage to take her first step toward safety, then โขwe will โhave succeeded.” She added,”We โdon’t always just make art for numbers,we make it for impact.”
christy is directed by David Michรดd and marks Black โBear’s first theatrical distribution. Sweeney recently โฃaddressed and dismissed โcriticism surrounding an American Eagle ad campaign, telling GQ she would speak out on issues she felt strongly about whenโ the โฃtime was right.
