Sydney Sweeney exposes body shamers after paps snap her in a bikini in Florida Keys

Sydney Sweeney works hard for that body and is coming for anyone who thinks otherwise.

The other day, the “Euphoria” star was snapped by paps in The Florida Keys flaunting her bulked-up physique in a purple bikini, and got unexpected backlash.

A bunch of followers threw down insults left and right, calling the actress “unattractive,” “tubby” “frumpy,” “average looking,” with some even wondering if she’s pregnant.

In a followup post, Sweeney shared the collection of savage screenshots, ending with a video montage of her ridiculously intense workouts, using a punching bag, weights and giant tire.

Turns out Sweeney is likely in the best shape of her life—she’s training for her role as ‘90s boxer Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic.

Sweeney received a ton of support from her Hollywood pals over the body shaming.

“Anyone But You” costar Glen Powell called the 27 year old a “badass,” while “Riverdale’s” Lili Reinhart wrote, “It’s always wild to see people publicly out themselves as pieces of s--t with comments like that. You look incredible and your dedication to your project is very inspiring.”

Regular folks weighed in, too, e.g.: “Good on you for posting this reel! Shut the haters up!”

So if you see Sweeney in the area (she bought a $13.5 million mansion in Summerland Key over the summer), don’t bother her. She’s working, and apparently not one to back down from a fight.
