Millie Bobby Brown calls out 'disturbing' headlines and treatment about her appearance

She calls out multiple headlines such as 'Why are Gen Zers like Millie Bobby Brown ageing so badly,' 'What has Millie Bobby Brown done to her face,' 'Millie Bobby Brown mistaken for someone’s mom as she guides younger sister Ava through LA,' and 'Little Britain’s Matt Lucas takes savage swipe at Millie Bobby Brown’s new “mommy makeover” look.' The sad reality is that women actually wrote some of these articles, thinking it is okay to bully rather than report. 

We have become a society where it’s so much easier to criticize than it is to pay a compliment. Why is the knee-jerk reaction to say something horrible rather than to say something nice? If you have a problem with that, I have to wonder—what is it that actually makes you so uncomfortable? Let’s do better. Not just for me, but for every young girl who deserves to grow up without fear of being torn apart for simply existing.

Society continues to push unrealistic beauty standards on women, but to have to grow up in the spotlight and have the world comment on your every look and move is a whole different beast. The industry and world in general need more women of all ages speaking up against this type of journalism rather than accepting it. 

The Electric State will be released March 14 on Netflix. Brown will also reprise her beloved Stranger Things role in the fifth and final season, which has already wrapped production and is confirmed to release sometime this year.
