The Stranger Things actress calls out reporters for passing comments on her appearance

The actress is seen quite active on her social media accounts and promoting her movie 'The Electric State.' Amidst this, many reporters called out Millie for her looks. In response, Brown uploaded a video on March 3, calling out the journalists, including Lydia Hawken, John Ely, Cassie Carpenter, Bethan Edwards, and Matt Lucas.

In the video, she said:

"This isn’t journalism. This is bullying. The fact that adult writers are spending their time dissecting my face, my body, my choices, it’s disturbing. The fact that some of these articles are written by women makes it even worse."

A reporter, Matt Lucas, further apologized to The Electric State actress on Instagram by writing:

"I was mortified when the press wrote that I ‘slammed’ you, firstly because that’s not my style, and secondly because I think you’re brilliant. I would not have posted it if I had thought it would have upset you but I realise it has and for that I apologise."

Millie hasn't responded to Matt Lucas's statement yet.
