Millie Bobby Brown Says She Receives More Se[x]ualized Comments Since Turning 18

She’ll always find a way to smile.

Millie Bobby Brown has admitted she’s been dealing with more sexualized comments on social media since turning 18 in February. This revelation emerged as the Stranger Things star highlights the challenges of growing up in the public eye, confessing she no longer shares anything personal online but shares things she wants to put out in the world.

“I have definitely been dealing with that more in the last couple of weeks of turning 18,” Millie insisted as she discussed the issue on The Guilty Feminist Podcast.

She added her experience in Hollywood is a good representation of what’s going on in the world and how young girls are sexualized, claiming: “I have been dealing with that, but I have also been dealing with that forever.” Millie attested her experience is no different from that of any other 18-Year-Old, and it can be pretty overwhelming.

The actress continued: “I deal with the same things any 18-Year-Old is dealing with. Navigating being an adult and having relationships and friendships and it’s all of those things.”

Millie further shared that being liked and trying to fit in is quite a lot, and have decided to no longer share any personal information and prefers to use her platform as a force for good. Of her dislike for social media, she stated: “I think social media is the worst place of all time.” The star had in 2020 shared an Instagram clip where she detailed the insecurities she’s suffered from due to the negative comments.

Millie said in the video, “our world needs kindness and support for children to grow and succeed.”

She revealed there are moments she gets frustrated from the inaccuracy, inappropriate comments, sexualization, and unnecessary insults that ultimately have resulted in pain and insecurity for her. Millie then concluded that she hoped her video would inform her audience about the things behind the scenes, of the headlines and flashing lights.
