“I want to take a moment to talk about something that I think is bigger than me, something that affects all young women who grow under public scrutiny. I think it is necessary to talk about this, ”Brown said at the beginning of the clip. “I started in this industry when I was 10 years old. I grew up in front of the world and, for some reason, people seem to be able to grow with me. Instead, they act as if it is assumed that I must remain frozen in time, as if I still have to look as I did in season 1 of ‘Stranger Things’. And as I do not, now I am a goal. ”
He then listed the articles and their authors, adding that Bethan Edwards’s article that quoted Matt Lucas was “amplifying an insult instead of questioning why an adult man mocks the appearance of a young woman.”
“This is not journalism, it is harassment. The fact that adult writers spend time dissecting my face, my body, my choices, is disturbing. The fact that some of these articles are written by women? Even worse, ”he continued. “We always talk about supporting and encouraging young women, but when the time comes, it seems easier to destroy them to get clicks.”
“Disappointed people cannot bear to see a girl become a woman in her own terms, Not at them. I refuse to apologize for having grown up. I refuse to become smaller to meet the unrealistic expectations of people who cannot stand to see a girl become a woman. They will not be ashamed for my appearance, for how I dress or how I present myself, ”said Brown.
“We have become a society in which it is much easier to criticize than to make a compliment. Why is the instinctive reaction to say something horrible instead of saying something pleasant? If that is a problem for you, I wonder: What makes you feel so uncomfortable? Let’s do it better. Not only for me, but for all the girls who deserve to grow without fear of destroying them for the simple fact of existing, ”he concluded.
