Millie Bobby Brown Demands Respect from the Press
Millie Bobby Brown has spoken out against press headlines that criticize her body and face. The actress, known for her role in “Stranger Things,” expressed her frustration in a recent interview with British Vogue.
Criticism of Tabloid Headlines
Brown’s biggest issue with the media is the tendency to slam celebrities in article headlines. She went viral earlier this year after posting an Instagram video calling out publications like The Daily Mail for bullying her with negative remarks about her appearance during the press tour for Netflix’s The Electric State.
“Oh my God, what has she done with her face? She looks 60 years old!”
Brown shared with Vogue how these headlines deeply affected her, causing her to “cry every day.”
Impact on Young Celebrities
She emphasized the harm such headlines cause, especially to young women entering the industry who may already be struggling with self-doubt.
“I love reading articles on my favorite people and hearing what they’re up to. I understand that there’s paparazzi, even though it’s invasive, even though it feels like shit to me – I know that’s your job… But don’t, in your headline, slam me at the get-go. It is so wrong and it is bullying.”
Examples of Negative Headlines
- “Why are Gen Zers like Millie Bobby Brown ageing so badly?”
- “What has Millie Bobby Brown done to her face?”
These headlines made Brown feel depressed for several days, affecting her mental well-being.
