The Euphoria star said she knew what it felt like to be “underestimated” and have people “define [her]” before the chance to “definite [herself].”

“I know what it feels like to have to prove that you deserve to be here, to be seen, to be taken seriously,” she continued.

Stepping into the shoes of the real-life boxer taught her that surviving “isn’t the end of the story, it’s the beginning of reclaiming it,” the White Lotus alum said.

“Every one of us has our own fight. And Christy reminds us all that strength doesn’t always look loud; sometimes it’s just getting back up, again and again, no matter who’s watching,” she added.

At the event, Sydney revealed she was going for the last two days of shooting Season 3 of Euphoria this week.

She called the wrapping up of the season a “bittersweet moment.”
