Millie Bobby Brown says journalists are 'bullying' her

Millie Bobby Brown, the talented 21-year-old actress known for her role in the popular series Stranger Things, has recently expressed her frustration with the media. In a heartfelt video posted on her Instagram, she criticized journalists for their negative articles about her appearance, stating, 'this isn't journalism, this is bullying. ' Millie has been actively promoting her new film, The Electric State, and has made several public appearances at events like the SAG and Brit awards. However, she feels that some people expect her to remain the same as she was when she first appeared on screen, and when she doesn't meet those expectations, she becomes a target for criticism. 'I grew up in front of the world and for some reason people can't seem to grow up with me,' she remarked, highlighting the unrealistic standards placed upon her. The articles that Millie highlighted in her video have made unkind comments about her hair, face, body, and fashion choices, with some even suggesting that she appears much older than her actual age. Millie expressed her concern, saying, 'The fact that adult writers are spending their time dissecting my face, my body, my choices, is disturbing. ' She also pointed out that it is particularly troubling that some of these articles are written by women, which adds another layer of disappointment for her. Millie has been in the public eye since she was just nine years old, starting her career with roles in shows like Once Upon a Time in Wonderland and Intruders. Her breakthrough role came in 2016 when she was cast as Eleven in Stranger Things, which catapulted her to international fame and earned her numerous award nominations. In her Instagram video, Millie concluded with a powerful message: 'I will not be shamed for how I look, how I dress or how I present myself. ' She emphasized the importance of supporting young girls and encouraging them to grow up without the fear of being judged for simply existing. Millie's message resonated with many, and she received an outpouring of support from fellow actors. Sarah Jessica Parker, known for her role in Sex and the City, expressed her pride in Millie, stating that she was 'enormously proud' of her. Louis Partridge, who starred alongside Millie in Enola Holmes, praised her for handling the situation with grace. Mckenna Grace, another young actress, also voiced her support, saying that no one should feel pressure or cruelty for just being themselves. Millie's courage to speak out against the media's harsh treatment serves as a reminder that everyone deserves to be treated with kindness and respect, regardless of their appearance or public persona.
