Millie Bobby Brown Calls Out "Disturbing" Criticism of Her Appearance

Millie Bobby Brown in a metallic dress with attached hood at the BRIT Awards 2025 on March 1 2025.

Millie Bobby Brown was only 12 years old when Stranger Things premiered in 2016, so she's spent a lot of time in the spotlight and fans of the series and of her other work have seen her grow up. Unfortunately, though, not everyone is happy to just appreciate Brown's skill as an actor. Instead, she has had her appearance picked apart. Obviously, no one is going to look the same as a tween as they do when they're an adult. And no one can—or should be asked to—live up to the idea of how anyone else thinks they should turn out.

Brown spoke out about what she considers "bullying" by some in the media in an Instagram video—and in a lengthy caption—on Monday, March 3.
