As she&#8217;s grown up, she&#8217;s been open about what she finds acceptable and unacceptable in the media&#8217;s treatment of her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The actress recently spoke about the reason she took tabloids to task earlier this year for &#8220;dissecting my face, my body&#8221; and &#8220;my choices.&#8221; She had <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/millie-bobby-brown-calls-out-criticism-appearance-11690465\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:called out journalists;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">called out journalists<\/a> for &#8220;bullying&#8221; her in March.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I started in this industry when I was 10 years old,&#8221; Brown <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DGwZgLXSJuH\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:said in an Instagram video;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">said in an Instagram video<\/a>. &#8220;I grew up in front of the world, and for some reason, people can&#8217;t seem to grow up with me. Instead, they act like I&#8217;m supposed to stay frozen in time, like I should still look the way I did on Stranger Things season 1, and because I don&#8217;t, I\u2019m now a target.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Looking back on the comments, Brown <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/millie-bobby-brown-calls-out-media-for-scrutinizing-her-body-11844184\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:told British Vogue;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">told British Vogue<\/a> that some of the headlines had tormented her.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Netflix Millie Bobby Brown plays Eleven in the early days of 'Stranger Things'\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/41d17fa7492fc9938166c3436c7068cf.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Netflix Millie Bobby Brown plays Eleven in the early days of &#8216;Stranger Things&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;&#8216;Oh my God, what has she done with her face? Why has she gone blonde? She looks 60 years old!'&#8221; Brown said of what she&#8217;d seen. &#8220;I respect journalism. I love reading articles on my favorite people and hearing what they&#8217;re up to. I understand that there&#8217;s paparazzi, even though it&#8217;s invasive, even though it feels like s&#8212; to me \u2014 I know that&#8217;s your job. But don&#8217;t, in your headline, slam me at the get-go. It is so wrong and it is bullying, especially to young girls who are new to this industry and are already questioning everything about it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In addition to Stranger Things, Brown is known for her work in the Enola Holmes movies and The Electric State, which was released in March.
