Millie Bobby Brown Slams Press for Criticizing Her Body, Taylor Momsen Quits 'Gossip Girl' to Pursue Music
6 Nov
Summary
- Millie Bobby Brown demands press to stop slamming her body in headlines
- Taylor Momsen fought to quit 'Gossip Girl' in Season 4 to focus on her band
- Showrunners helped Momsen exit the show despite her contract
In a recent development, actress Millie Bobby Brown has demanded that the press stop slamming her body in article headlines. The 21-year-old stated, "I respect journalism, but get off my f--ing case. I am 21." This comes as the latest child star to speak out against the intense scrutiny they face in the public eye.
Elsewhere, fellow former child actor Taylor Momsen opened up about her dramatic exit from the hit TV series 'Gossip Girl' during Season 4. Momsen, who had already appeared in major films like 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' before joining the show, said it was an "easy decision" for her to quit in order to focus on her music career with her band The Pretty Reckless. However, the process of getting out of her contract was far from easy, as studio executives at Warner Bros. Television deemed her "ungrateful" for wanting to leave the successful series. Fortunately, Momsen had the support of 'Gossip Girl' showrunners Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwartz, who agreed to write her character out of the show so she could pursue her musical ambitions.
