Millie Bobby Brown is showing just how to handle critics with grace and confidence. After receiving some harsh comments about her appearance, with people accusing her of looking “too old” and even questioning whether she’d had plastic surgery, the Stranger Things star hit back with a simple but powerful message on her Instagram Story: “Women grow!! Not sorry about it.”
The criticism started after she posted a mirror selfie in a white floral one-piece, where she was also sporting a ring and giving a pout. While some trolls criticized her for looking older than her 16 years—one user even mocking, “How to look 65 when you are 16”—many came to her defense, reminding everyone that she’s no longer the young Eleven fans are used to seeing.
This isn’t the first time Millie has had to clap back at online trolls. In March 2024, she responded to critics who mocked her accent, stating that as an actor, she had to adapt and sometimes mimic others. With her latest response, Millie is making it clear: she’s growing, evolving, and she’s proud of it.
On a more personal note, Millie also recently wrapped up filming for Stranger Things Season 5, keeping her busy while continuing to take the internet’s negativity in stride.
