Sydney Sweeney has hit back at horrific body shaming comments she's received online with an incredible response.
For famous faces, social media can be an extremely toxic place, and it's why we've seen some celebrities reduce their online presence as a result.
Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney has become the subject of body shaming comments in recent times, and she responded to these on Instagram in the best possible way.
The actor posted a shot clip that began with screenshots of a bunch of body shaming comments she's received online, including some calling her 'quite frumpy', 'very chunky' and 'tubby'.

After many screenshots of horrible comments were shown on screen, the video cut to Sweeney in her training gear at the gym.
The video cut to a sign that said 'hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard' as Sweeney worked hard with a trainer, struck a punching bag and even flipped a large tire in what looked like an extremely intense workout.
Many have flocked to the comments section of the Instagram video to praise Sweeney for her response to the trolls.
"I will never understand the hate in people‘s hearts when it comes to leaving comments like this," one person commented.
A second added: "Ngl why do people feel entitled to talk about someone’s body specially someone you don’t personally know," while a third remarked: "No one has the right or reason to make comments on anyones body, ever."
Meanwhile, Lili Reinhart penned: "It’s always wild to see people publicly out themselves as pieces of shit with comments like that. You look incredible and your dedication to your project is very inspiring."
The video actually concluded with the name 'Christy Martin' being shown on the screen, which is a nod to Sweeney's upcoming biopic where she plays a famed female boxer.
Boxing fans will likely know Martin is a is a former professional boxer who earned herself the WBC female super welterweight title in 2009.
Sweeney has spoken previously about her process of getting into her movie character, telling The Los Angeles Times in March that she's a 'very hands-on collaborator'.
“I like being able to give ideas, be a part of it, help come up with solutions. It just changes the whole process," she said.
Sweeney continued: "It’s so hard for me now to be on a set and not be able to help in any type of way and be able to take action. And being able to actually have a voice and have a valued opinion—it means so much.”
