Summary
In a mean spirited, social media post, actress and openly gay Ruby Rose points the finger directly at Sydney Sweeney for “ruining” Sweeney’s latest movie “Christy," a biopic about one of the most prominent figures in the history of boxing, Christy Martin. Martin was a closeted lesbian who survived a murder attempt by her husband, but went on to be inducted to the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Rose said Sweeney “paraded around pretending to be us” insinuating because Sweeney is a Republican and straight, she had no right to play the role of Christy, calling her a “cretin” who ruined the film. The critics and Christy Martin herself say otherwise.

| 0:06.1 | Hey there, folks. It is Wednesday, November the 12th. And let me ask you something. Can a |
| 0:11.6 | straight actor play a gay character? Also, can a Republican be supportive of the LGBTQ plus community? |
| 0:23.4 | Well, why are we asking those questions? |
| 0:25.3 | Because Ruby Rose is asking those questions, and she's directing it fiercely at Sidney |
| 0:33.3 | Sweeney. |
| 0:33.8 | And with that, everybody, welcome to this episode of Amy and T.J. |
| 0:36.3 | This is a some of the questions, I guess, Rob, I just asked, some of those debates have been going on, but they've taking on a new meaning, a new fierceness because it involves somebody who is one of the most popular and polarizing people on the planet right now, at least in Hollywood, and that's Sidney Sweeney. That's Sidney Sweeney. And maybe you could even add Ruby Rose to that as well |
| 0:58.6 | on the other end of the spectrum. But look, we've been talking about this this morning because of what |
| 1:04.6 | Ruby Rose put up on Instagram talking about the movie Christy, Sidney Sweeney. |
| 1:11.7 | It plays the lead role of Christy Martin, and that movie did not do well over the weekend. |
| 1:18.5 | And Ruby Rose took direct aim at Sidney Sweeney. |
| 1:23.0 | And you actually were really hesitant to even do this story. |
| 1:27.7 | Because it didn't come off initially as a critique of the work. |
| 1:34.2 | It seemed very personal. |
| 1:35.0 | And she used, and she doubled down and followed up. |
| 1:38.6 | And, I mean, throwing names at her, calling her names. |
| 1:42.2 | That part of it, when you, I hate to see people like |
| 1:46.0 | that go after each other, and Sidney Sweeney is not going after her, I should say, but this looked |
| 1:50.8 | like and it sounded like sour apples and tabloid clickbait that everybody in all the headlines you see |
| 1:56.7 | is Sidney Sweeney's name, she's been called blank by this other actor. I just didn't like that. But within it, |
