Millie Bobby Brown is standing up against “disturbing” online comments about her changing appearance and age. The 21-year-old actress, known for her role as Eleven in Stranger Things, shared an emotional video on Instagram, responding to criticism about her face and body as she transitions into adulthood.
Fighting Back Against Unrealistic Expectations
Brown, who has been in the public eye since she was 10, expressed frustration over the way people view her growth. “I’ve been in this business since I was 10 years old,” she said. “I’ve watched the world grow up, but somehow, people can’t seem to grow up with me.” She explained that many expect her to remain frozen in time, looking the same as she did in the first season of Stranger Things. Because she has changed, she has become the target of harsh criticism.
Addressing Criticism of Her Appearance
The actress recently debuted a new blonde look on the red carpet and has since addressed the rising speculation about her appearance, including claims of plastic surgery. She criticized those who aim to “demean young women” and questioned why writers amplify rude comments rather than questioning the motives behind them. She condemned the media for exploiting her appearance for “clicks” and making her a target for bullying.
A Stand Against “Bullying” and “Devaluing” Young Women
Brown made it clear she would not let the negativity affect her. “It’s so disturbing that adult writers spend their time dissecting my face, my body, my choices,” she said. “Those who feel disillusioned can’t handle watching a girl grow into a woman on her own terms, not theirs.” The actress refused to apologize for growing up and rejected the idea of conforming to unrealistic standards. “I will not be ashamed of how I look, how I dress, or how I express myself.”
A Call for Change
In her closing remarks, Brown called for a cultural shift, urging people to “do better.” She emphasized that this message is not just for her, but for every young girl who should grow up without fear of being torn apart simply for existing.
This is not the first time the British star has responded to such comments. Recently, she shared a British Vogue article on her Instagram Story, which boldly read, “Nobody cares how old you think Millie Bobby Brown looks.”
