Millie Bobby Brown says online scrutiny of her appearance has shaken her to the core.
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. She made the claim while describing what was happening behind the scenes of what should have been a celebratory moment in her career.
The press conference, held between February and March, saw Brown channeling ’90s fashion with bleached hair and outfits borrowed from Pamela Anderson and Paris Hilton. Instead of receiving praise, she became the target of cruel speculation.
“I love reading about my favorite people,” she said. “I understand that paparazzi have a job. But don’t criticize me in your headline just yet. It’s harassment, especially for young girls who are new to this industry and already questioning everything.”
The actress later addressed the backlash in a March 3 Instagram video, asking why fans who had watched her grow up “can’t grow with me.”
