Millie Bobby Brown says the harsh online scrutiny over her appearance left her deeply shocked.
The 21-year-old stranger things The star recently opened up about the wave of plastic surgery accusations and age-related insults she faced during the Electric State press tour earlier this year.
“I was depressed for three or four days. I cried every day,” Brown told British Vogue in a new interview. He made this statement while describing what was happening behind the scenes of what should have been a celebratory moment in his career.
The press tour, held between February and March, featured ’90s fashion from the Brown channel with bleached hair and outfits borrowed from Pamela Anderson and Paris Hilton. Instead of receiving praise, he became the target of cruel speculation.
“I love reading articles about my favorite people,” she said. “I understand that paparazzi have a job. But don’t immediately insult me in your headline. It’s bullying, especially for young girls who are new to this industry and already question everything about it.”
The actress later addressed the backlash in a March 3 Instagram video, asking why fans who had watched her grow up “can’t seem to grow up with me.”
