Sydney Sweeney has
certainly been getting her fair share of attention these days. Thanks to her
roles on hit shows like The White Lotus and Euphoria, she’s
become one to watch in Hollywood. However, not all of her attention has been
positive. Back in May of 2021, the actor-producer was subjected to some pretty
nasty comments on Twitter. After some users called her “ugly”, the 24-year-old
began trending on the wildly popular social media platform.
Unfortunately, some of the
hurtful comments caught the attention of Sweeney. After noticing that she was
trending, she checked out some of the comments. And while the majority of
people were defending Sweeney’s looks and talent, it was the hateful comments
that The Handmaid’s Tale alum saw. It wasn’t long before the
actor took to her Instagram live to address being called ugly.
Sweeney said in a tearful
video: “Apparently I am trending on Twitter right now for being ugly. I think
it’s really important for people to see how words actually affect people. I
know everyone says, ‘You can’t read things,’ and ‘You shouldn’t read things,’
but like, I’m a fucking person! I’m just sitting here with my dog, Tank,
watching HGTV wearing my Snuggie. People need to be nicer on social media
because this is really fuck up.”
