Millie Bobby Brown has had enough with the comments about her appearance during the promotional tour for her latest film, “The Electric State.” On Monday night, she addressed these remarks more vigorously on Instagram, even calling out specific media personnel who have written articles criticizing her looks in public.
In approximately three minutes, Brown shared her thoughts about being under public scrutiny since she was just ten years old, when she became a breakout star on Netflix’s hugely popular series “Stranger Things”. She explained, “The world has watched me grow up, yet it seems they can’t accept my growth. They expect me to remain the same as I was in ‘Stranger Things’ season one, and since I don’t, I face criticism.
Brown shared aloud the titles of four recent articles centered around her physical attributes, and even identified the reporters responsible for their creation. She emphasized that these pieces weren’t examples of journalism; instead, they represented acts of bullying.
She expressed, “It’s troubling that grown writers are scrutinizing aspects of my appearance, my actions, and it’s particularly disheartening when some of these criticisms come from women. We often emphasize empowering and inspiring young women, but in reality, it seems far simpler to instead tear them down for attention.
Read Brown’s full statement below.
Hi everyone, it’s Milly.
Allow me to pause for a moment to discuss an issue that, in my opinion, transcends personal boundaries and influences every young woman subjected to public gaze. This topic demands our attention and dialogue, as it significantly impacts their upbringing.
From a young age of 10, I’ve been part of this field. Growing up, it felt like the whole world watched my journey, yet strangely enough, people have failed to grow alongside me.
Instead of accepting that change is natural, they seem to expect me to remain unchanged, as if I should still appear as I did during Stranger Things’ first season. However, since I don’t, I’ve become a focus of attention or even criticism.
During my recent press tour, I’d like to discuss several articles that have been published, as well as the authors who seem overly eager to criticize young women.”
This version retains the original meaning while using simpler and more natural language.
An article titled ‘Why is Millie Bobby Brown from Gen Z appearing to age poorly’ was penned by Lydia Hawkins.
“What has Millie Bobby Brown done to her face,” written by John Ely.
Millie Bobby Brown, the actress, was thought to be someone’s mother while guiding her younger sister Ava through Los Angeles. The article was penned by Cassie Carpenter.
An article states, ‘Matt Lucas from Small Britain criticizes harshly Millie Bobby Brown’s recent changes in appearance due to plastic surgery,’ authored by Bethan Edwards.
Instead of escalating the ridicule, one should be asking why a mature individual is criticizing a young woman’s looks. This behavior doesn’t align with journalism; it’s more akin to bullying.
It’s unsettling when grown adults critically analyze various aspects of me, including my facial features, physical appearance, and personal decisions. What makes this situation more disheartening is discovering that some of these criticisms come from fellow women.
Instead of consistently emphasizing encouragement and empowerment for young women, it often feels more convenient to criticize them for attention instead.
Disillusioned people can’t handle seeing a girl become a woman on her terms, not their own.
I won’t apologize for maturing; I won’t shrink myself to meet the impractical standards of those who struggle with a young woman evolving into a strong adult.
“I won’t let others make me feel ashamed based on my appearance, clothing choices, or presentation. It seems our society has unfortunately made it simpler to criticize than to offer a compliment. Why do people so often react negatively by saying something hurtful instead of just being kind?”
If there’s an issue with what I said, I’m curious to know, what specifically about it might be causing your discomfort?
Let’s make a positive change, not just for myself but for every young girl who deserves to live free from fear, just because she is herself.
Thank you.
