Millie Bobby Brown Calls Out ‘Disillusioned’ Writers by Name for ‘Bullying’
“I refuse to apologize for growing up,” she said in a three-minute video.


If the acting thing doesn’t work out, we think Millie Bobby Brown would make a great Real Housewife in a few years — she’s already married to the Prince of New Jersey (the son of Jon Bon Jovi), and nobody would ever have to tell her to “name ’em.” In a March 3 video posted to her Instagram, Brown came after various writers who had written poorly about her appearance recently, with headlines like “Little Britain’s Matt Lucas Takes Savage Swipe at Millie Bobby Brown’s New ‘Mommy Makeover’ Look” and “Why Are Gen Zers Like Millie Bobby Brown Aging So Badly?” Though she did not expressly state it, all of the headlines are from British tabloid the Daily Mail.
“This isn’t journalism,” Brown says in the video, which is reiterated in the caption. “This is bullying. The fact that adult writers are spending their time dissecting my face, my body, my choices, it’s disturbing. The fact that some of these articles are written by women? Even worse.” Brown attributes the articles to a refusal to let her grow out of her child stardom. “Disillusioned people can’t handle seeing a girl become a woman on her terms, not theirs,” she says. “I refuse to apologize for growing up.”
