Millie Bobby Brown, best known for her role in Stranger Things, has spoken out against media outlets for publishing "disturbing" articles about her appearance. The actress shared how growing up in the public eye led to unrealistic expectations and criticism of her body and face.
Calls Out Media Scrutiny
In an Instagram video, Millie addressed the issue, saying, "This is bigger than just me. Every young woman growing up under public scrutiny faces this." She recalled starting her acting career at 10 years old and how people seem unwilling to accept her natural growth.
"For some reason, people can't seem to grow with me. Instead, they act like I'm supposed to stay frozen in time," she said, calling out the harsh criticism of her changing looks.
"This Isn't Journalism, This Is Bullying"
Millie highlighted negative headlines about her appearance, stating that such coverage is harmful. "The fact that adult writers spend their time dissecting my face, my body, my choices—it's disturbing," she said.
She also pointed out the industry's double standards, saying, "We talk about supporting young women, but when the time comes, people tear them down for clicks."
A Powerful Message for Young Women
The actress made it clear that she refuses to apologize for growing up. "I won’t shrink myself to fit into society’s expectations," she declared. She ended her statement with a strong message: "Let’s do better. Not just for me, but for every young girl who deserves to grow up without fear of being judged."
Upcoming Projects
On the work front, Millie Bobby Brown will next appear in The Electric State alongside Chris Pratt, Ke Huy Quan, Stanley Tucci, and Anthony Mackie. The film is set to release on Netflix on March 7.
