Sweeney shared that she often has her acting skills diminished by those who focus solely on her physical features. Such as her large breasts and blonde hair. She also noted that her willingness to do nude scenes on screen has caused people to make wrong assumptions about her talent and capability as an actress.
Sweeney’s comments sparked a conversation online about the way young girls who develop early are often shamed and sexualized. Many social media users expressed their support for Sweeney. They acknowledged that growing up with a sexualized body can lead to feelings of insecurity and self-blame.
