Summary
- Millie Bobby Brown calls out media for bullying young celebrities
- Brown was "crying every day" due to headlines criticizing her appearance
- Brown vows to not be shamed for how she looks, dresses, or presents herself
In a recent interview, Millie Bobby Brown, the star of the hit Netflix series "Stranger Things," has condemned the media's treatment of young celebrities. Brown revealed that she was deeply affected by the negative headlines about her appearance during the press tour for the show, with some articles even mocking her for "ageing so badly" and questioning "what has she done to her face?"
The 21-year-old actress said these headlines made her "depressed for three, four days" and even caused her to cry backstage at the BRIT Awards. Brown has now vowed to not be shamed for how she looks, dresses, or presents herself, stating, "I refuse to apologize for growing up. I refuse to make myself smaller to fit the unrealistic expectations of people who can't handle seeing a girl become a woman on her terms, not theirs."
As Brown prepares for the final season of "Stranger Things," she is also focused on protecting her young daughter from similar media scrutiny. The actress said it is her and her husband's job to shield their child from the spotlight until she is old enough to potentially share her own story with the world.
