Part 3/9:
Following the ad controversy, Sweeney's latest film, Christy, faced commercial failure at the box office. The movie, which tells the story of a female boxer overcoming abuse and adversity, was perceived by many as a compelling story with a strong message. Yet, it struggled to attract audiences, and some blamed Sweeney's controversial reputation for its underperformance.
Critics within Hollywood, including failed actress Ruby Rose, took jabs at Sweeney, implying that her perceived persona and the backlash were responsible for the film's poor results. Rose, who last starred in Batwoman before being replaced due to behind-the-scenes issues, launched a personal attack on Sweeney, calling her a "cretin" and claiming she "ruined" the film.
