Actor Milli Bobby Brown has spoken against the harsh investigation faced by young women, including themselves in the public eyes. For reference, Brown was subjected to body-sheming during his recent appearance in the electric state tour, claiming that she looked over her age. In a video shared on Instagram, he addressed the large criticisms in the entertainment industry.

Brown said, “I want to take a moment to address something that I think is just bigger than me, something that affects every young woman who grows under public investigation.”

He recalled his career at the age of 10 and growing up in front of the world. “For some reason, people cannot seem to grow with me. Instead, they do such things as I am going to be frozen on time,” he said, referring to criticism about his changing appearance.

Brown highlighted various articles, which investigate her look. “This is not journalism. It’s bullying,” she said. “The fact is that adult writers are spending their time in dismissing my face, my body, my choice, it’s disturbing.”

He urged for change, asking why negativity default is the reaction. “Let’s do better. Not only for me, but for every young girl who is just worthy of growing up without fear of being torn,” he concluded.

On the professional front, Milli will be seen in the electric state next time, with Chris Prat, Ke Huy Quan, Stanley Tuki and Anthony Mackie. The film will be on Netflix on 7 March.
