Sydney was spotted wearing a purple bikini paired with sunglasses. The candid snaps quickly made their way across social media, and the backlash wasn’t long in coming. Critics left negative comments, with some suggesting that she looked “chunky” and even questioning if she was pregnant.
In response to the negative comments, Sydney shared a powerful video on Instagram. She included clips of the derogatory comments such as “she looks chunky,” “is she preggo?” and “looking a little chunky… back to the gym girl,” before cutting to clips of herself working out and staying in shape. The video didn’t have a caption, letting her actions speak louder than words. It was a bold and direct way to shut down the body-shamers.
Has Sydney Sweeney Shared Bikini Photos Before?
Yes, Sydney has previously posted pictures of herself soaking up the sun in a bikini. The Euphoria star has been open about her health and fitness journey. In an interview with Women’s Health, she shared, “Whenever a new challenge presents itself and I’m not scared to push myself to try, that’s when I’m really proud of who I am.” She added, “I know that my body can keep going—it’s more just that mental challenge to push myself through.”
The Hollywood star continued, “I take that skill into skiing, into acting, into anything I do, because it’s always more mental than physical. Of course you have to train, but it’s mind over matter at the end of the day.”
