In a video-appeal, actor Sydney Sweeney slams trolls, then adds a message

Sydney Sweeney, who plays Cassie – a sophomore in an HBO series – took her trollers who criticized her appearance head on with an emotional video appeal. The “Euphoria” star, in an Instagram Live, said: “Apparently I am trending on Twitter right now for being ugly.”

Addressing her trollers, 23-year-old Sweeney continued: “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 f—ing person. I’m just sitting here with my dog Tink, watching HGTV, wearing my Snuggie. People need to be nicer on social media because it’s really f—ed up.”

This triggered Sweeney’s army of fans, who stepped in to defend their favourite star.
