Typos on social media and having their feet up on the dashboard are just a few critiques a certain public figure has received from viewers. Since the age of 12, eyes have been on this young actress for her breakout role as eleven in the Netflix series, Stranger Things. That actress is Millie Bobby Brown. While generally well liked, Brown has been demonized for trivial matters such as these ever since her climb to fame. However, she isn’t the first who has had to deal with hate as massive as this. We’ve seen the same type of disdain for teen public figures such as Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, and Charlie D’ Amelio. Today, we explore why this happens. What causes an audience to criticize a famous teen girl for essentially nothing?

How did dressing as someone from the 80s make me look 12 and 40 at the same time?
Do you do your own editing?
There's a recent VSauce video on that
you nailed it tho 🤌
WHAT ARE UR TJOUGHTS ON S4 ST (u ate that look up btw)
You look really great!
The Drake situation is definitely weird but I think putting the judgment onto Millie doesn't make any sense. It's Drake who should know that's not exactly appropriate. She was just a kid who was probably starstruck and excited to talk to someone she likely looked up to. People expect so much from her sometimes.
Its downright misogyny that she was blamed for this
The Drake situation weirded me the hell out and so did people's reactions
her parents push her, it's her parents
Kids and teenagers don't always realise how immature they are compared to adults. I got into online gaming, a hobby dominated by men in their 20s - 30s, at only 14. Most of the groups I was a part of were filled with adult men, most of whom were very nice people and respectable. However, there were a couple who were a bit sus if not downright predatory and only now that I'm an adult can I see just how inappropriate some of the situations were that I found myself in. Back in the day I didn't see the harm in being blatantly hit on by some 25 year old man who knew my age, because I thought I was mature. In hindsight I wasn't mature at all; I was just like any other 21st century teenage girl.
I definitely got that impression from Millie talking about Drake. She likely had no idea how uncomfortable the situation was to adults who knew better.
But srsly when I was that age I would have been texting poems to Johnathan Taylor Thomas if I could have, why is it so hard for ppl to remember how insane being a teen girl is? Like, at 13- ALL YOU WANT is to be liked. You’ll be friends with anyone that is cool and then you’ll casually bring up that you are friends with that cool person at your earliest opportunity
I think it's quite sad to look back on her older interviews and how confident and happy she was as opposed to now where she's rather quiet because of the bullying she's received.
At the very least it's nice to see her in interviews with Noah. She just comes off as so much more confident and willing to get excited when she's with him.
@@robbiesmith8055 I agree! Her interviews with Noah are always great and I think it helps that they're best friends so she probably feels most comfortable around him.
@@robbiesmith8055 We all need a friend like Noah haha. I barely talk anymore either, even commenting is hard sometimes
Everyone: I hate Millie
Me: I love millie
ikr :( the industry can be such a burden on someone’s nervous system
She never deserved the hate imo, she could be a little annoying (what kid isn't) but people over exaggerated her flaws.
Exactly. Kids are cringe and confused to begin with and when you have a billion people looking at you and judging you it can easily make those things worse. It's unimaginable- most people never have to deal with it, so of course people won't understand completely.
she wasn't even annoying, just confident. people wouldn't have mass hated a young boy who acted the same way, they would've found him hilarious
Right?? Like she’s just being a typical kid. What middle schooler isn’t annoying it doesn’t mean she deserves this much hate
It's wild because as you said, all kids are super annoying. The actor from the kids cast who's probably the most energetic in interviews and has the most youthful personality even to this day is probably Noah, not Millie, yet there aren't legions of people saying how annoying Noah Schnapp is. (Just to clarify I don't hate Noah, I honestly love that he still acts like a 5 year old despite his fame, but it's pretty telling that Millie is usually considered the 'annoying' one).
She sure as hell deserved the hate when she went to the UN lmao. You mean to tell me that “Ever since I was 10 I made money for playing pretend in front of cameras” qualifies you to lecture me about luxury gay space communism or something?
i find her very endearing, i think the "cringe" you sometimes feel towards her is really because you see her doing and saying the same cringey things you did at her age
no because literally, the way she has been called cringey SO many times by grown people for doing things they themselves did as kids cause that's what kids do is so ridiculous to me
@@facundoclemente9275 Nah why y'all pushing everything to grown up when its literally other teens that's say she's cringey? Y'all said the same thing about Jojo Siwa except when you went on their social media acc it was all bunch of kids her own age who had sh*t stuff to say. As a matter of fact go on their IG & Tiktok and see who actually follows them and look at the comments...
@@GraceLeo-mc4rr and that's because KIDS are being brainwashed to act adults or their perception of adults! So ofc they bully another kid for acting like a KID. You see it all the time. That doesn't make it right. The kid acting like A KID is not what is abnormal. This society trying to adultify and brainwash kids is the problem.
Or, what she did that you perceived as cringe is something that reminds you of something you did/do.
This triggers a negative response out of resentment as she is a world known star and is worth bank.
If our every moves were recorded at 12-19 I know we'd all do the same things she's done
The video of her "interrupting David" is him jokingly trying to give spoilers for stranger things and her jokingly stopping him each time. It's actually really funny because it's showing her (who was like 13) as the actual mature and responsible person of the two. And it was an awesome and funny panel. The hate to her is ridiculous
I'm sure it's just a coincidence the original video maker showed the clip without sound. They'd definitely never EVER deliberately remove it to avoid providing context, right?
Just watching the first minute of this video is kind of hard. In a rapid succession of footage, we see a young child actress being groomed right before our eyes. To watch any child go through the throws of Hollywood and how cancerous it can be is really tough. I pray the people that "hate" her allow her some grace.
Remember when the internet started throwing words like "gaslighter" and "groomed" around so much that they started losing their very specific, incredibly important meanings?
Absolutely agree.
@@sk8razer forreal 💀 how was she groomed lol
@@sk8razer I think "groomed" is appropriate in this case as Hollywood and the very obsessive audience is grooming her to be under a lot of unnecessary scrutinies. The word "grooming" is not limited to some sort of sexual deviancy. Would you prefer that I used "prepared"? What alternative do you provide since it seems I'm just using it out-of-context smart guy?
@@dljworks it's not your fault this word has lost all meaning
I saw the interview where Millie was talking over Sadie. I thought it was so sweet of Caleb to ask what Sadie wanted to say. As someone who is often spoken over because I'm naturally more soft spoken I really appreciated seeing that. But I think its ridiculous how much hate Millie got for that.
Just read the comments and then you’ll understand why she did that.
Have you seen the full interview? Or just the TH-cam short clips of it? I had first seen the clips of it and the way it was edited made it seem more negative against Millie but when I watched the full original interview it was different, everyone was talking over and then Lucas asked Sadie if she wanted to talk because she was new and more shy/quiet than the others.
@@giorgia.m Caleb asked Sadie lol. Character and actor names are confusing
@@herz5159 Omg lol I didn’t even notice !!! Yes Caleb asking Sadie, not Lucas!!!
Also, I think they were all talking about how amazing Sadie was, and she said that she didn't want to talk about herself cause that was weird, and when Millie interrupted her, she was still talking about how amazing Sadie was.
I think a lot of people get annoyed by people who seem to gain overnight success and seem to be praised everywhere they look, so they begin to look for flaws in their character to balance out the exorbitant praise those celebrities seem to get. It happened with Justin Bieber too
I think a lot of people are also learning to monetize on the hatred of those celebrities using sites like TH-cam, furthering the image that lots of people hate her
Yeah but biever also added fuel to that fire during his swag phase
@@theoutsiderjess1869 He was a kid being overworked, turned into a cash cow and that grew up seeing grown ups online telling him to off himself. It would be a miracle if he reached his teens without being broken inside.
Except for Olivia Rodrigo, she's super overrated
@@sassycaterpillar6631 Being able to monetize hatred certainly makes thing worse, cause even if the general consensus ain't that negative you'll have a vocal minority blowing stuff outta the water... Sadly it seems like something that will keep on happening to lots of people :(
I almost wonder if it’s because she’s super confident, or comes off that way and she’s also a girl. Her costar is calmer and does not carry herself as boldly. Women aren’t exactly liked when they’re confident and take up space, maybe this is why she gets hate and her other female costar doesn’t, and why despite acting the same way as Millie the boys don’t get treated with the same disdain.
Maybe, but there are a few interviews around when she barely let Sadie talk, and interrupts her frequently. There is a fine line between being confident and being too self-centered. I feel like she was unaware of her attitude but it comes off as rude for some people.
@@clautastic9186 but then again.. she was a child 🤷🏼♀️ they are a little self-centred 😁
@@clautastic9186 she could just be neurodivergent
@@captainjoy8976 my point is Sadie, Finn, Noah, Gaten and Caleb are kids too but they don’t behave like this. They are very polite, and they always look uncomfortable when Millie interrupts others.
@@clautastic9186 then the interview coach should've stept in and corrected that, she was just a child, they speak over eachother all the time
I think that one of the reasons people hate on her is that type of hate that comes to anything/anyone that is getting super popular. There are people out there that just feel enormous joy to say that something that a lot of people think it's awesome it's actually trash.
Agreed. It's the same with bands like FFDP or Nickelback. It's popular to bag on them because "everyone else" is bagging on them, even though *someone* out there is a fan as evidenced by their radio airplay and album sales.
Yea. That's exactly what she said in this video.
Me
Honestly, if you are spending any amount of time on the Internet hating on a teenager, you need to get yourself checked.
This!! Thank you🙌
But she makes it so easy?
@@jenjones90 it's easy when u don't have a life urself
Prb u have a sad life
Wow another sick individual!
Kids / teenagers do stuff that is considered rude / cringe by adult standards. Sure they may interrupt. Sure they may brag too. Who wouldn't have a bit of a chip on their shoulder for being so successful at so young? The hate was silly. She kind of reminds me of myself. In my early teen / tween years I was annoying and was made fun of for it. A lot of other kids didn't like me. I did eventually learn to stop myself and now am significantly more subdued but also quite socially anxious.
I'd rather be around a bunch of people who make mistakes than people who destroy you for making a mistake.
But when does a mistake become cruelty?
@@A5H_01 Agree with you but kids don't often have a choice
You have the point..you can see how anxious has now and how "mature"she got..as a synonymous of domesticated...women in patriarcal world. Poor child!stop the hate.
We all are so 'shocked" by how everyone treated Brittney spears and female celebs of the 90s. Yet, then around and do it all over again to this generations female celebrities.
Younger Millie acted loud and excited and confident- she reminded me of the way boys that age would act in my school. Which isn't surprising, considering she was the only girl her age on set for the first season and didn't really have any big shared moments with Sadie on screen until season 3.
It was easy for people to pick on her undeservedly, because she stuck out the most as the only girl (and the most popular young actor of the show) and nitpicking her every typo and quirk. imo if you already have chosen to dislike a complete stranger, you'll also actively be annoyed by completely innocuous behavior. Which is completely unfair- we don't actually know who these actors are irl, but it sure as hell is shitty to trash talk the way people have done when it comes to Millie.
i dont understand why people are not outgrowing their bullying outside and after school age.
immaturity is a problem because people are afraid to discipline anymore.
why hate on a child growing up?
Bullying is fun and cathartic
@@turtleboy1188 Bullying makes your problems other people’s problems. In getting hurt and fucked up, you hurt and fuck up someone else. That shit lasts _years._ You’re not helping anyone by bullying others, or even making comments condoning it. You’re only making it worse.
bullying is not about immaturity, but trying to feel powerful over something, because you have nothing else in your life 🤷♀️
@@turtleboy1188 its also pathetic
@@turtleboy1188 FUN??
I think there are also two factors not discussed here:
1. Women are expected to almost apologize for success to remain likeable (i.e., "Who, me???" or "I DIDN'T WANT THIS I SWEAR") they can't openly enjoy it.
2. Bit of a smurfette thing going on here where she is "the girl" and therefore a lightning rod in general
Yes!! I thought that Donna was setting this up when she was like 'what could possibly be different about millie compared to her co-stars....'
It's so weird that as a society we've decided that child labor is absolutely unacceptable. Unless... Well you can make a lot of money? Oh okay go ahead and go into *the most adult part of our society*
you sould like a failed jealous actor🤣 if a kids passion is to act and they become rich then so be it🤷🏾♂️ as long as their looked after mentally
@@whereis99 lol yeah, they all have such happy lives 😂
Not jealous, not failed/never tried not interested in that life. A lot of child actors suicide. A lot have rough lives. It's not all pizza and blowjonbs, man
“Most adult part of our society” lmao you must be joking. Hollywood is one of the most deranged and childish and immature parts of our culture
@@yomamma.ismydaddy216 by adult I mean adult like Vegas, silly goose
@@BrutalSnuggles I know what you meant lol. I just thought it sounded funny if ‘adult’ was meant more like “mature” or “responsible”. Makes you wonder what it actually means to be more, or less, of an “adult”
The fact that she was being bullied for acting like a teen is ridiculous, and how was her fault for texting with Drake?
Whoever is making her looks like a 40 yo should be fired immediately.
The whole world put her on a pedestal after season 1 because of her acting. Then they got mad when she felt confident/excited in being herself because whAT CHILD wouldn’t confuse her acting praise with overall interest/acceptance by the world of her true self. But unfortunately the media doesn’t work that way. They build you up and then tear you down always. They wanted her to be quiet, “humble” (aka not confident) and mature when she’s an excitable kid and it’s not her fault. Also if she were a male, it would be considered cute cos boys are allowed to be loud and outgoing/“annoying”. ThaTs juSt my OpinOniOn
If it were Finn it would probably go something like “omG FiNn hAs ADHD omG AdOrabLEeeee”
And I completely agree with you!
Couldnt have said it better myself 👏🏼
No literally. Exhibit A is Noah. I love Noah but he’s seen as the wild, childish (in a good way), prankster out of the kids and he gets called the funny one and not annoying. Yet if it’s Millie then it’s a problem?
If you're annoying most people wont give a shit what's between your legs.
I never had an opinion on MBB as a person. I always just thought she was a good actress because I thought she was phenomenal in Stranger Things. But I admit, she's one of the few guests on The Hot Ones that I didn't particularly like, but even as I watched it with my sister I recognized that it was because I am an old curmudgeon who just wouldn't enjoy hanging out with teenagers which I think is fine and not a bad thing to acknowledge. It's weird that there's this EXPECTATION for parasocial relationships even though we recognize they're bad, for some reason everyone is still expected to be likable AND good at their job. As someone who is waist-deep in the world of academia, there are tons of people who I look forward to working with but would absolutely never invite out for a drink. All those commenters on the world tour video want that experience, but I bet they complain to their best friend for hours when a coworker is less than exceptionally friendly to them. Fame ain't it.
Well said and very true!
I love this comment. It's true, a lot of celebs are trying to keep up with the ideal likable / relatable personality. If you look up the stranger things cast every interview they film is over anaylzed and edited by everyone.
Why didn’t you like her on hot ones may i ask?
@@astrida111 There was nothing really in particular that I found unlikeable. I really think it's just our age difference. She seems very intelligent and eager to work in the industry, and I think that's a good thing. Hearing her talk just sort of reminded me of some teenage cousins or family friends who I get tired of talking to after a while It's nothing I think she could or should change about herself. We're just in very different places in our lives and I'm not invested in her personally enough to particularly care. It's different when you have a personal relationship with someone like a younger sibling or child or someone else you've watched grow up. Even if they talk like they have everything figured out, it comes off as eager and adorable rather than a little annoying. It's not a big deal not to like a kid that talks your ear off at a wedding or at work, you just kind of smile and nod and move on once you get away, but because celebrities are constantly pushed in people's faces, I think people react really poorly and instead of just ignoring the content, they get vocal about their annoyance which is dumb but not surprising as people tend to be reactionary on the internet rather than introspective.
I find it ridiculous that Millie is hated on for her spelling mistakes. She literally said she was dyslexic while doing a best friend challenge on Noah Schnapp's TH-cam channel. Millie seems like a great person and definitely does not deserve that hate she receives.
I've always loved Millie, maybe it's because I am a mother of 2 girls. I vaguely remember someone naming her "The Sexiest Woman Alive" or whatever the label was, quite a few years ago when she was definitely underage... like 12 or 13 I think. Sickening. She was/is a young girl! Too many people pushed their insecurities onto her unfairly, and at such a young age. Im proud of the young woman she turned out to be, despite it all.
It makes me so angry whenever I see how horribly this girl has been treated. She’s just a baby- even still! It’s so disgusting and hopefully she has a strong support system around her. It’s unbelievable what has happened to her. ALSO the fact that her parents let a 20 year old man move in with their 16 year old daughter is disgusting. She has deserved so much better from nearly everyone around her.
Media is meant to make you angry
You’re still very young at 20… I would call a 20 year old male a boy, not a man.
@@DaphnesRelaxingSounds 20 year olds are adults. They are men, and a 20 year old with a 16 year old girl is wrong.
@@SM-bp6kz I don’t necessarily agree that 20-year olds are really adults… by law sure, but your brains aren’t finished developing yet (that only happens at about 25). That’s not taking into consideration that everyone develops at a different pace. There’s pretty mature 20 year olds, but also 20 year olds that still act and think very much like teens. (Late teens) I know I was. 😅
16 and 20 is a bit of an age gap at that age, that’s true, but I don’t think it’s necessarily ‘disgusting’. Depends on what he’s like and their relationship. If he’d been 19 instead of 20, so he still would have been a teen, it would have looked different already.
Any comment of her as a bad actor is absolutely insane. She performs so well with any character. How could folks hate someone so blindly
I agree, the hate that she receives definitely seems like extreme pettiness from jealous people.
This reminds me of when I started hearing all the hate on Taylor Swift for her turning her personal experiences and relationships into songs. Like…as a writer. WTF DID YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN. She's a songwriter, of course she'll pull from her experiences. That t-shirt that says “Be careful, you may end up in one of my stories” or whatever is 100% true. I didn't understand the hate then, and I still don't now. Taylor's music, love it or hate it, is basically a diary of things she's felt or gone through. That's better than any hundred cookie-cutter hits, as far as I'm concerned.
Edit: And then I get to the end and wow, you actually comment on there being a lot of Taylor Swift haters. XDDD I avoid celebrity gossip like the plague, so I don't get the hate at all.
I mean I don’t hate her and as an artist I know we pull from emotions but…. That also means art is like a snapshot of someone’s life. Especially our music. So with 95% of her music being about boys it just feels like a love stuck 13 year old accept she’s not 13. Like I said I don’t hate her by any means but her music *revolving* around exes has always just been a bit much for me.
And Adele is praised for it.
@@iloveyourunclebob I mean Adele isn’t 100% break up songs, she’s praised about just as much as Taylor Swift. The people who don’t like Adele are older people who just don’t have the energy to bitch about it while the people who don’t like Taylor are hormonal crazed teens who will scream if the color of a cloud offends them.
@@CottageCritter 5sos, Miley Cyrus, Selena gomez, p!nk, ED SHEERAN all write so many songs about their exes too and it seems like nobody else gets criticized for that but her. It’s not her fault that the songs about her exes are the ones that gain the most popularity, but at the same time it’s completely untrue that all or most of her songs are about someone she’s dated. We have fearless, fifteen, I did something bad, the man, blank space, you need to calm down, never grow up, the last great American dynasty just to name a few. I’m not trying to convince you to like it, I just think that a lot of people don’t know about her other music or just don’t like it because it can be too poppy. It’s also possible that you may feel like she thinks she’s 13 because you listen to her old music that she wrote when she was like 15. Her new music is really different and she’s done so many genres.
@@rachelmichele7697 “so many” and “mostly” are two very VERY different ball games.
I have no issue with Swift and actually enjoy her music. I can enjoy her and objectively, realistically, see why people would have a problem with it. Assuming that because I see flaw I must not enjoy her music is absolutely absurd.
Blindly defending a celebrity without being reality based is just as bad as those who hate without reason.
Edit:
Just double checked, I literally prefaced my comment at the beginning with specifying that I don’t hate her lol so who’s I REALLY don’t get where that assumption is coming from.
I recently saw a Quora ask of Why is Millie Bobby Brown rude?!
Hardly seen any teen actors being talked about like that.
She's an excited teen growing up in unrestricted social dominant times. She's just like kids her age.
It's just her personality that she's so open and boisterous. Yet had she been a boy, that would be overlooked or seen as boys being boys.
Though I think how she was styled and news media exposure, lead to people criticising her instead of the adults that should be protecting her.
Also remember reading that her family depended on her income and so they were trying get her more exposure to be cast in other projects.
It's just sad. She's just an open and bubbly girl.
Exactly 💯 protect children and youth
Not true, Bieber got the same treatment as a kid. It's not a boy vs girl problem, it's deeper than that.
Its completely misogyny that is the reason for all this hate. She hasnt actually done anything to actually *cause* all the hate. Literally full adult males act confidently and assert themselves in conversations and get absolutely no backlash at all. She was TWELVE when the backlash started, she had no media training, she WAS A CHILD! Even saying this reaction is ‘jealousy’ or saying her relationship with Drake is kind of weird is excusing the misogynistic remarks imo. That relationship is between A GROWN MAN and A CHILD, she should never have been blamed for that, its awful.
I wouldn't completely direct it to misogyny. I think people just get annoyed when the media and Hollywood shove an actor That's just blown up down your throat in every show interview movie advert and newspaper. The reaction to this is always very very toxic and visceral but it isn't exclusive to female celebrities. The worst case of this by FAR was Justin Bieber. The guy got so much hate in his early years for blowing up and being plastered everywhere that even being nearly 30 the guy still can't fully shake that image and reputation. Other examples are Jacob sartorius, James Charles, Tyler Oakley (I see these inclusions as valid as they're TH-camrs that are bigger than most movie stars and became mainstream Hollywood status), Lindsay Lohan, Soulja boy, lady Gaga, like half the cast of game of thrones (especially joffrey, he got so much hate for being good at acting he retired), Susan Boyle, Britney spears, the list goes on. In many ways it's got nothing to do with the actual person or their gender, it's the fact they're shoved down people's throats that causes the aggressive reaction "who the fuck is this person and why are they everywhere I look? They don't even seem that good at what they do or seem very nice" and then the snowball effect begins
@@ImK4Os agreed, this is a much better take
@@ImK4Os the men you have listed are either gay or "feminine". How isnt that hate connected to mysoginy?
@@ImK4Os James Charles is an ass, don't include him here. He's a grown man groomer and he deserves to be hated.
@@toffee1234100I know it’s an old comment but what about Michael Jackson, prince, Freddie mercury, Neil Patrick Harris, Ian mckellen. They’re all really feminine/gay no? I don’t seem to recall them being hated as much as bieber/ new teen celebs nowadays. So I don’t think the reason is misogyny.
the thing about nowadays is that people tend to put whatever moral reasons to explain why they don't like something or someone, it's like "no! I have real reasons to dislike this, this thing it's actually problematic", they say that to themselves so they can sleep better at night.
that's why small shit like millie with her feet up on the car it's "a safety problem", and not just a teen girl doing teen things
You are so spot on lmao!! There are tons of people and teens out there that get so much unnecessary hate like Millie and Charli D'Amelio who feel compelled to rationalize their unnecessary hatred by blowing miniscule things they do out of proportion or going on witch hunts to find something "problematic" they've done. (Ex: The entire internet giving Charli shit for not liking escargot and asking for chicken nuggets)
How adults can hate on a literal child is beyond me.
Adults hate on famous and successful children. Seeing young people doing well reminds them of their own mediocrity. They don't hate the kid working behind the counter at 7-11.
@@NJGuy1973exactly.
I hate when people expect kids to behave like little adults, but then dismiss their opinions about their own lives because they are "just kids"
i think one of the issues was that she got so much attention as the face of stranger things and then the media promoted her as a the best new thing out there, but i think her popularity was conflated with the show itself. so people react negatively to implication of how amazing she is and find reasons to discredit her. the other stars of the show have a more reasonable expectation of celebrity.
Pile of trash you trying to make out Millie was different compared to rest of them, they all never said a word about expectations they were just getting on with their lives and enjoying acting together on the show!
If the other people on the show hyped up Millie, that isn't Millie's fault and she shouldn't be the target of hate for that.
Some people just irrationally hate what's visual, like the main actor. Instead of maybe the hidden producer, director, writer, editor, etc, who made collective bad decisions.
I don't like overly hyping things, but I understand people want to advertise their show.
I have seen so much hate for Billie Eilish too, critizising her for things like... Her parents having money. For not having to "struggle her way up". Just BS.
I do remember seeing an interview where she was incredibly out of touch (saying parents don't homeschool their kids cuz they're lazy etc) and I remember being put off by that, but I don't hold celebrities on a pedestal, so it wasn't like I hated her for it. Nowadays, it's like you aren't allowed to have flaws or different opinions, because then you are a terrible person who doesn't deserve their celebrity status. The hatred on Billie is stupid, it's just another teen girl being hated moment, just like for Taylor, Millie and hundreds of others that don't deserve it to the extent they get it.
I can't even fathom the thought of being a grown ass person and being jealous of a child who won her fame/lifestyle purely on her talent alone. If anything that should inspire people to do better and work harder at whatever it is they want to do. If someone has the time to write nasty comments about a literal child not only are their priorities not in order, but more than likely their entire life is in shambles. Kids making fun of kids I understand that's what they do at that age. However, outlets writing full-blown pieces on a child because she over-talked the other kids in a interview is completely mental. The internet was a mistake.
P.S. Great work as always, Donna.
I like her and her acting but my 12yo daughter absolutely adores her, so I was glad that she doesn't speak English (we're Italian) when I realised all the criticism and bullying against MBB.
I even felt the need to defend the girl in the comment section of some old interviews but it felt to me like fighting against windmills. I can only imagine what it must feel like for a teenager...or for a teenager who idolizes her
I didn’t understand any of the reasons Millie Bobby brown was disliked by the internet when she was literally growing up. All I saw was a kid sprung into an enormous amount of fame at the age of twelve allowing for everything to be scrutinized by the media. Which is really weird to think about, like she just became of age and the amount of attention surrounding her and shit is just weird I’ll never understand picking apart every little thing a literal child does growing up in the spotlight. Growing up is hard enough already but doing so in front of millions has to be difficult.
The whole thing with Drake is creepy.
Wait wait wait... Millie's boyfriend cheated on her, and people are actually mad at her!?
She could be hated more because people feel jealousy for young kids getting money and can’t stand their success
Seeing so many adults bullying a literal child is just disgusting!
I think overexposure is a big deal too. Kim Kardashian, Kanye and Pete Davidson are all annoying simply for always being in the media.
Not trying to diagnose her, but as someone who is neurodivergent & AFAB, I see a lot of my childhood self in her. I was constantly bullied and mocked, especially for things like being too loud/excited, accidentally talking over people, and saying things that were obvious jokes to me but no one else got. I was even criticized--and still am, occasionally--for "laughing too much." Meanwhile, boys who were just as loud and exuberant (in my case, brothers; in hers, her costars) were popular, "cool," and "hilarious." It's a crappy feeling to be hated like that. It haunted me well into adulthood, and I clearly never experienced it on the same level as Millie Bobbie Brown. It's very much the modern day incarnation of "Women should be seen and not heard." People don't want to know her as a person; they just want to view her in silence, like she's an object.
Loving the hair Donna. I don't think MBB deserves the hate she gets
Britney, Miley, Taylor, Millie .... Extremely talented girls who grew up into successful young women who people will go out of their way to hate. Tall Poppies indeed.
Omg so at 8:21 David was talking about spoilers for the next season of Stranger Things, so that’s why Millie was having such a reaction and putting her hand over his mouth
she was much younger, a literal child, just happy and excited about the attention. did everyone forget that we don't have that kind of emotional maturity at that age?
She had media coaching. If she can act she should be able to control herself in an interview.
I hate that this video and ones like it that give a mature take on media will never reach the same heights as clickbait hit-pieces. So many people just want to believe the worst about people, and one rumor can snowball out of control. But when the target is a literal child, that's heartbreaking to me.
Fame can be toxic for anybody, but in this case, Millie has had her childhood stolen from her. Her people dressed her up like an adult and expected her to act like one, and every time she just tried to act like a normal kid, it blew up in her face. That's going to affect her for the rest of her life.
My unpopular opinion: There should be heavier restrictions on how much actors can do when they are minors. Kids becoming this famous is not okay, and I will never envy them.
Reddit discourse against her were brutal. I saw that going down in real time..
Also I love that shirt and would like to buy one myself.
its completely disgusting to me that people hated on a child for stuff that was not her fault, or for acting like a child. what the fuck is wrong with people...
I used to quite dislike her when we (she's just a few months younger than me) were around 14 but I never felt the need to express this opinion??
Now at the age of 18 I see how much harassment she got of which I didn't even know about and I'm glad that my early teenage self did not take part in insulting her for no apparent reason.
I am still not a fan of hers but I am glad she has a big supportive fan base. I might never become part of it but she is a very talented actress and does not deserve to be trashed, especially not when she was still a kid.
Like seriously: Why would you harass a minor???
I hated her for about a year because there was this joke that started out of thin air (at least to me) that she was homophobic but I thought it was real... So it took me looking it up because I saw people were still talking about her and being confused why the hate wasn't shared and found out it was a meme 😭 but why tho?
I never knew she was so disliked :/ I always thought she seemed like a sweet kid/now young woman who was being successful. Never thought of it more than that
This may sound silly but I also think the name "Millie Bobby Brown" is really memorable and even a little fun to say out loud, and that also promotes talking about her in a way. The other actor's names I find more difficult to remember, they just don't have as much of a ring to them. I don't think it plays a huge factor but the only reason I remembered it so quickly was because I thought it was a cool name.
I'm so glad to see this video. I've been seeing so much hate for this young actress lately and I'm so saddened by it because it seems like she's criticised for being a teen girl, nothing she has done has been harmful to anyone else and she herself has been a victim. I think she's extremely talented, her role in intruders showed an acting range far beyond what is usually seen at that age.
the funny part, in the video of she covering David Harbours mouth, the context is that he was going to maybe spoil the show, and she was trying to stop him from doing so! and they were joking about it
I feel like these bullies are acting like she is an adult, as they were perfect when they were growing up. She deserved so much better. All the love for Millie!!
People hate her? I thought she was a delightful actress
I feel so bad for her. Everything she says is put under a microscope and taken out of context. Literally she was a child and shes just a person. People need to realise that she's not going to say everything people want her to say
This video takes me back to one or two yesrs ago where stan twitter made up memes involving pictures of Millie with homophobic statements written on them. This was pretty much the thing that made me despise stan twitter and realize how performative these people are that they were willing to use a minor for this kind of stuff.
just started watching stranger things 4 today. i dont like el as a character but millie is an amazing actor. i dont want to assume anything about her real life
Her character is annoying. There are times when I want to fast forward past her scenes.
@@kimking5928 Fr I can’t stand her character
Jealousy. That's the reason, it always is.
I truly wonder if her character was male and she was also a guy, if any of this would have happened. It all just feels so dystopian, like how dare this female be confident and enjoy herself. Sure I found some of her interviews slightly irritating but she was a kid and I’m a 40 year old women lol. Most kids do dumb shit, I sure as hell would have if I was on camera at that age. This image that women should be quiet and agreeable creatures is still very much alive still in 2022.
Justin Bieber. It's not just girls who get the hate lmao
misogyny. that's the answer.
POV: you grew up without a father
@@BigPapaSquirts But it does play a big factor into why people dislike her so much. It’s just plain misogyny, incel.
@@BigPapaSquirts pov: you're a boy who spends too much time online regurgitating quotes you see from incels and dunking on the mean feminists who remind you of your mommy
People hate to hear it, but misogyny absolutely plays a part- a HUGE part, as a matter of fact- in the hate Millie gets. You’ve hit the nail right on the head.
Looking at the comments under a single Stranger Things cast interview tells you all you need to know about the nasty expectations and double standards forced upon this girl.
@@amydunnediditnow look how defensive you are. Lmao. I must’ve hit close to home. Take a long walk off a short peer.
The media was unnecessarily harsh on Millie Bobby Brown. She was a kid when she started and interviews were new to her. She wasn’t even being rude in the interviews. She was bursting with excitement and was being herself. She didn’t deserve the backlash or the online harassment for being an excited kid.
My niece was really excited to meet her at a comicon we attended, and was really disappointed after meeting her. Maybe she was just tired or something, but she had a very dismissive attitude like she didn’t want to be there. The guys were very sweet & engaging, which made up for it.
I guessed those videos of her being 'rude' were clickbait and am glad that they are! Millie is just as young as the other kids and no one deserves to be bullied
i also believe ppl hate her due to outward misogyny by the dudes and internalized misogyny by the gals. something just irks ppl when a girl/woman is succesful without having to conform to society's expectations of a "successful woman". cuz that whole part of her speaking over the rest of the cast (who just so happen to be boys) is a literal sexist stereotype of outgoing and unapologetically expressive woman being perceived as "bitchy". i havent even watched stranger things and always found it so disturbingly odd and confusing of the hate millie receives. SHES A KID (or was) but like she's literally done nothing wrong??? meanwhile ppl excused drake's p3dophilic behavior??? and then also victim blaming her for having dated someone that cheated on her???? and how is it her fault that her brother is homophobic???? like what the actual fuck. i also refuse to believe that bringing down a more sucessful person than you can make you feel better about yourself becuz if you are constantly doing that throughout your life, you lost focus of you individual self and prevent yourself from growing and improving as a person. so in the long run, you just end up becoming depressed by your own actions. a uno reverse on yourself
Listening to those comments on the Netflix video is so sad. There will always be people who want to be famous, but it feels like this era we are in, where social media rules everything, narcissism is rewarded more often, and practically promoted. It's making more people feel that fame is the only way to get ahead in life.
Also, kudos on finding a shirt that accurately captures the opening credit sequence of Saved By The Bell.
When I started watching stranger things at 10 or 11, I thought it would be so cool to be friends with Millie. At 12 or 13 I started disliking her when my slightly smaller mind noticed all her hate and assumed that it must be justified. That and I was a little jealous. Now I'm 14, and though I'm not much older, I think I've grown, and don't hate her at all. I've actually examined the points made against her and I'm honestly just sad that kids can't act like kids anymore. I don't think I've gotten more confident in myself; I've just gained more perspective. I also think the progression of how I felt about Millie is pretty interesting and fitting for the age I was.
Honestly, that makes you much more mature than those grown adults who shit on her endlessly.
But she isn't a regular kid, she's in the public eye. The other cast members don't act like her, they're well-mannered.
@@jenjones90 That shouldn't mean she doesn't get a childhood, and you absolutely should not compare children. That's a whole other set of problems, and not all kids are the same. I don't know how old you are, but as a high schooler I can say that she is much more well behaved than a lot of kids her age. Don't expect kids to be perfect.
Damn, a child was more mature than that first reply. Really says something
why cant people let children live :/ its beyond sad that people tried to constantly tear her down for being an excitable child. If you suddenly got famous overnight at age 12 you'd probably be pretty annoying too. Out of 4 children, the only girl was the one who got bullied so badly she didn't even want to speak in interviews anymore, what a shocker.
Watching this, as well as hearing from ex-child-stars like Jeanette McCurdy and Allison Stoner, leads me to believe that childhood mega-stardom always becomes abusive. Being in the public eye to a massive degree creates psychological trauma that is not appropriate for developing brains, and carrying multi-million dollar projects on your back is a responsibility that's too great for any kid to bear. Many child stars have turned out alright, but I believe they survived IN SPITE of all that abuse. Call this a radical take: but I think nobody under 18 should be in film or television. Have older actors play kids or use CGI/animation.
it seems like they only want to put adults in media as teenagers if that means they can get away with highly sexual content. Sad really and i agree children shouldn't be in the industry the way it is. No matter how strong the child is, they are almost always traumatized and deal with a lot of mental issues even into adulthood.
I don’t condone the bullying and don’t really care about any of the “scandals”. She just simply has one of those annoying personalities 🤷🏻♀️ and it’s fine, I just won’t watch the stuff she’s in. No need to hate follow her imo
I've never understood the hate towards her. She was an impressionable child for pete's sake! I hope nothing but the best for her.
adore the entire look and feel of the video, the editing and cinematography in general, i just love it so much 💖 i can tell there’s SO much effort put in to this; thankyou 👏🏻
It’s crazy to me how some people jump to the conclusion that all celebrities lives are perfect and easy when a lot of them need to be on crazy diets, wake up really early for a shoot, interview, or whatever. Do the same take over and over again, need to be under constant watch under an agent, pr team, or manager; and feel like that almost everyone they meet only there to gain something for them. (There are some exceptions but that goes without saying)
I had an unnaturally high level of anxiety around social interactions growing up. I quickly learned that this was a sure way to become a victim of bullying, not just by known bullies but by everyone. People don't even seem to know they are doing it.
Studying social isolation from an academic perspective I began to understand what it is that makes people so vicious. We live in a status-seeking society, again most people are unaware of the extent to which this affects our beliefs and attitudes about everything. It makes us psychologically violent against anyone who might upset the order of human interactions.
If anyone starts to get attention that doesn't "deserve it" by what we perceive to be society's narcissistic standards we feel not only justified in attacking them, we may go so far as to claim that it's our duty to judge them for the greater good, for everyone's mental health.
But at a deeper level what we are really doing is attempting to prove that we are worthy of the kind of status that our society values: that of a bully.
I love Millie, she’s grown up so much & I hope the best for her, her mental health & her happiness.
The people who bully her & hate her for her confidence, humor & personality are honestly just jealous imo. Especially those podcasters who were grown ass adults hating on a then 17-18 year old.
She like the other child actors need to be protected.
Especially from Drake who has a history of being creepy & that one guy who said vile things about her.
I personally hated her because when she was younger she faked her British accent. But now I could careless even if it's fake, she's a adult at the end of the day
I just didn't think cutting people off and them already knowing it's like"sigh..again" seems like she's done it so many times ...and not a one time thing..I think it's disrespectful
yea totally, 12-13 year old cutting ppl off in interviews? absolutely disgusing and totally NOT MATURE... and yea she deserves to go to hell for it...
I mean she was a kid, of course they didn't have the social awareness, because that's what you learn when you grow into adulthood. Baffling how she was bullied for just being a happy and normal child....
The hate for MBB is so weird to me.
I find people who can’t separate the actor from the art immature and need to grow up.
You can love or hate El, that’s your opinion. But having on opinion on the actor is stupid cause you don’t know her personally. She’s just a performer. Leave her private life be for fucks sake.
on the one with David she was trying to make him stop spoiling things they where joking around.
i feel like it's the same reason people didn't like Billie ellish they're young white and famous ig they're an easy target... weird
what does them being white have to do with it lol. i promise you that their being white protected them from an even higher level of bullying: racial harassment.
the black actress in the new percy film is 12 and has been inundated with racial abuse, the same kind of abuse happened to a 13 year old amandla stenberg.
Billlie did a little more than that but I’m sure that’s a big part of it. Let’s not pretend the majority of her haters care about cultural or racial things they’re not that morally straight
Stop
i wish Millie would still be herself in interviews, literally the world will judge girls no matter what so i hope she finds some confidence and courage in herself to not care
Never understood why she got hated on
I have never understood why people started hating on her it never made sense to me
The hate for her reminds me of the generalized hate for Anne Hathaway
I think the majority of people dislike her because of her attitude, not jealousy. I mean she's self-centered and rude, and you can clearly tell the fame has gotten to her head. The rest of her cast mates are much better behaved than she is. But I blame her parents because they didn't raise her well.
From someone in their early 30s: can y'all imagine what social media would be like if we had it when we were growing up? The Britney vs. Christina and Backstreet Boys vs. N*Sync "wars" were bad enough just from how non-techonological people (including the media) said and acted.
I feel bad for these kids, especially Millie (yes I am aware she is 18 now and therefore an adult, doesn't change how I feel) - she and the rest of her castmates, past and present, should absolutely be having the time of their lives and be happy and live in the moment instead of most likely getting mentally scarred for life because of faceless people on the internet or media outlets just throwing buzzwords out to try and get clicks/views.
I had no clue people disliked her or she had any type of hate... I have always loved her since she started in Stranger Things and I still love her in all her interviews...
Attractiveness is also a big factor i think. Has anyone seen that "Pretty Ugly Little Liar" website (i think it was taken down, but there are still archives). All targets are young attractive women in the public eye and most of the criticisms are mild, but the comments are vitriolic. I would love someone to do a video about this.
I always saw pretty female youtubers who lived in Asian countries on there. Everyone hated those women for living the lives others wanted. It was disgusting
I never knew about this, I don't watch tv or like to look at tabloid stuff, I just like watching streaming services with no ads. I feel bad for her having to grow up with so many mean people judging her during her breaking out with such a successful show as Stranger Things. I look forward to seeing more of her future projects though.
The fact that Millie still gets criticized by paparazzi when they see her makes me even more mad
We still have a lot of weird attitudes/treatment of child stars out there.
I love her so much, it's so unfortunate to see her bullied like this :(
I personally find her annoying in the extreme, but I won't go out of my way to harass her, I simply avoid content that involves her.
I also think people are trying to protect her now because after amanda bynes, princess dianna, whitney houston, britney spears, jeez even beyonce with her miscarriage stuff, we’ve really seen where the “i hate her because i cant be her” thing goes, and i think people are starting to recognize that pattern and theres more of a push to protect women, and especially young women.
she needs the biggest apology, millie was just a child i don’t understand how people were so mean to such sweet young girl
People just hate a happy confident female. There is no rhyme or reason. Sad.
