She's addressed the journalists by name.
Millie Bobby Brown has spoken out against a series of articles criticizing her appearance during her ongoing press tour for the Netflix film, “The Electric State.”
Publications had criticized her for having “aged far beyond her years", and some headlines read “What has Millie Bobby Brown done to her face?” and “Millie Bobby Brown mistaken for someone’s mom as she guides younger sister Ava through LA”.
The “Stranger Things” star posted a video to Instagram where she called out the media for “bullying” and “tearing young women down". She addressed each journalist that had scrutinized her looks by name.

Millie wrapped her statement by saying "Disillusioned people can’t handle seeing a girl become a woman on her terms, not their own."
I refuse to apologize for growing up. I refuse to make myself smaller to fit the unrealistic expectations of people who can’t handle seeing a girl become a woman.
I will not be shamed for how I look, how I dress or how I present myself. We have become a society where it’s so much easier to criticize than it is to pay a compliment. Why is it the knee jerk reaction to say something horrible rather than just say something nice?
If you have a problem with that, I have to wonder. What is it that actually makes you so uncomfortable?
Let’s do better, not just for me but for every young girl who deserves to grow up without the fear of being torn apart for simply existing."
