What did Millie Bobby Brown say about the criticism of her appearance?
In her message, the actress expressed her frustration with the obsession certain sectors of the press have with analyzing every detail of her physique. “It’s disturbing that they are dissecting my face, my body, my choices”, she commented. Additionally, she pointed out the irony that some of these articles were written by women, which, according to her, exacerbates the situation even more, as instead of supporting and uplifting other women, they choose to tear them down for clicks.
Brown emphasized that she will not apologize for growing up and becoming the woman she is today. “I refuse to apologize for how I look, how I dress, or how I present myself”, she stated. She also called on society to reflect on why the immediate reaction is to criticize rather than praise, urging everyone to be kinder and more understanding, not just to her, but to all young women who deserve to grow up without the fear of being torn down for simply existing.
This is not the first time the young actress has faced comments about her appearance. Previously, after posting a selfie on Instagram, she received criticism for looking “older.” On that occasion, she responded sharply: “Women grow up! I don’t regret it".
