"Apparently I am trending on Twitter right now for being ugly," Sydney said in the live stream. "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."
She then showed how she was lounging on a couch with her dog, Tank, while watching HGTV and wearing a Snuggie.
"People need to be nicer on social media because it's really f***ed up," she continued, tears streaming down her face.
Sydney's fans also took to Twitter to defend the actress and shut down any negative comments about her body. A lot of the hateful comments allegedly came from accounts hiding behind an avatar.
