Millie Bobby Brown Blasts “Disillusioned” Writers For “Disturbing” Articles Commenting On Her Looks: “I Refuse To Apologize For Growing Up”

Millie Bobby Brown took to her Instagram today to address a “very necessary” conversation that affects any “young woman who grows up under public scrutiny,” blasting the media for spending time “dissecting” her looks in “disturbing” articles. “I started in the industry when I was 10 years old,” she began in a video post, also including her words in the caption below. “I grew up in front of the world, and for some reason, people can’t seem to grow up with me.

Instead, they act like I’m supposed to stay frozen in time, like I should still look the way I did on Stranger Things Season 1.

And because I don’t, I’m now a target.” The Electric State actress then listed a few posts exemplifying the topic at hand: “Why are Gen Zers like Millie Bobby Brown aging so badly?” to “What has Millie Bobby Brown done to her face?” to “Millie Bobby Brown mistaken for someone’s mum as she guides younger sister through L.A.” to “Little Britain’s Matt Lucas takes savage swipe at Millie Bobby Brown’s new ‘mommy makeover’ look,” adding that the lattermost example was “amplifying an insult rather than questioning why a grown man is mocking a young woman’s appearance.” Brown continued, “This isn’t journalism.

This is bullying. The fact that adult writers are spending their time dissecting my face, my body, my choices is disturbing.
