Sydney Sweeney is opening up about criticism over her looks.
The 23-year-old "Euphoria" star took to Instagram Live on Sunday to address the critics in a tearful video.
"Apparently, I am trending on Twitter right now for being ugly," she began in the short video. "I would never actually do this, like ever, but I think it’s really important for people to see how words actually affect people."
She said that despite advice not to read online criticism, she’s "a f------ person."

Fans had plenty to say in the star’s defense.
"Who the f--- called Sydney Sweeney ugly," asked one.
"I feel so bad for her.. ppl on here are so cruel and disgusting," wrote another.
"This just shatters my heart," said yet another. "It really just shows how society will destroy a human being only because [of] their physical appearance."
Added a fourth: "Ok… @sydney_sweeney …are you guys joking??? Ugly?? Not just in reference to Sydney, but your words could potentially be the push that sends someone over the edge and some of you are fine with that…can someone rid the garbage we unfortunately share the world with please."
