Millie Bobby Brown, addressing body-shamers and critics via Instagram, highlights the issue of public scrutiny faced by young women. At 21, she reflects on being judged for her appearance as she grows, stating that critics expect her to remain unchanged from her early career. Brown argues that negative media coverage is not journalism but bullying, especially when it comes from fellow women. She encourages a more positive approach to discussing women's appearances and asserts her refusal to apologize for her growth and transformation.
I want to take a moment to address something that I think is bigger than just me, something that affects every young woman who grows up under public scrutiny.
For some reason, people can't seem to grow with me... instead, they act like I'm supposed to stay frozen in time.
This isn't journalism. This is bullying... adult writers are spending their time dissecting my face, my body, my choices, it's disturbing.
I refuse to apologize for growing up and encourage the media to do better when it comes to commenting on women's appearances.
