Actor Channing Tatum is already receiving Oscar buzz for his role as Olympic wrestling champion, Mark Schultz.
While Schultz previously praised the film via social media saying its stars should receive Oscars, the 54-year-old recently changed his tune.
In a New Year's Eve Facebook and Twitter rant, Schultz slammed "Foxcatcher" director Bennett Miller and star Channing Tatum.
Many of the tweets have since been deleted, but Variety managed to grab them before they disappeared:

A few tweets remain on Schultz's feed:
I love Foxcatcher is about me, stars @channingtatum and immortalized Dave. I hate the way I'm portrayed. Read Foxcatcher the book for truth
— Mark Schultz (@MarkSchultzy) December 29, 2014Foxcatcher's scenes are mostly straight out of my book (except a few). But the relationships and personalities are complete fiction.
— Mark Schultz (@MarkSchultzy) December 29, 2014Now that the movie's been out a while I want to ask my friends a question. In one word, how should I feel about the way I was portrayed?
— Mark Schultz (@MarkSchultzy) December 30, 2014Schultz explained more on Facebook, saying he was upset that it was implied in the film that he and his former coach John du Pont (played by Steve Carell) had a sexual relationship, which he called "insulting."
He continued to assure "the integrity and truth of my story":
Schultz ended his criticism of the movie with a plug for his book:
The Truth behind #Foxcatcher is now available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. http://t.co/JxeuNuV5a7
— Mark Schultz (@MarkSchultzy) December 21, 2014In November, Schultz released "Foxcatcher: The True Story of My Brother’s Murder, John du Pont’s Madness, and the Quest for Olympic Gold," which he says is the real version of what happened.
The film, which was also released in November, has earned over $6 million at the box office and has received tons of critical acclaim.
