  1. The medias endless cycle of building young stars up so they can tear them down continues.

  2. Show up on a red carpet and complain about the media talking about you.

    Dude she looks 50. It isnt because she aged. She looks normal in Enola Gay or whatever that show was. She still looked like her. Now she looks like a Real Housewife or some shit.

  3. > “A thing that I get a lot is like, ‘Oh my God, she looks like 40,’” Brown said. “And I’m like, well yeah, you did meet me when I was 10, so I understand. Now I’m 21, it’s been 10 years. She grows. My face like, grew. What do you want me to do about that?”

    > “I wish I could be like, ‘You know what, it does get to me.’ It used to get to me, it did … And I remember trying to change myself to please the masses,” she said. “And actually now, I’m in a place where, yeah, my accent does change. My face does grow. I do wear a lot of makeup. It’s just the kind of person I am.”

  6. I don’t agree with tearing her down, but damn she does look like a Kardashian now, and that’s a little weird. She looked fined the way she was

  7. Younger women these days just happen to wear their hair & make-up in a manner that makes them look older: I don’t think it’s anything scandalous.

    Look back at 80s fashion and you’ll see plenty of examples back then of people “looking” much older.

  10. at this point im sick of hearing about Millie Bobby Brown. Stranger things was good but it wasnt any better or worse because of her. She hasnt done anything else of relevance. Why do people care about her so much?

    Shes a child star that grew up loving the kardashians and all of that kind of stuff, now she has money and is taking the path and making the choices that interest her. Not surprising. Again, she is a B tier actress at best, why do people care?

  12. I’m fine with her defending herself. I do wonder if it’s the Streisand Effect. I hear more about the criticisms of her when she responds.

  13. She doesnt look her age. When she was younger she was trying her Best to look older, so, why she thinks this perception of her it’s weird? It’s because she try so hard and accomplish.

  14. It’s not that she actually looks 40 age wise, it’s how she dresses and the makeup.

  15. She doesn’t look 40 lmao. She dresses “older” than she is but it’s not her face.

  16. Its her clothes and the hair colour that make her look older. Blondes can age someone if they get the wrong tone/shade.

  17. She just doesn’t get it. It’s not her looks. It’s her styling. The bad bleach job isn’t doing her any favors either.

  19. I really like her but she is obviously not a fan of the marketing side of being a celebrity which is understandable.

    Maybe we can just stop posting her for a while. Let this all die down and then revisit.

  21. She doesn’t “look 40” she’s dressing like she’s 40. She’s wearing a lot of gold or brown heavy fabrics. She needs a new stylist. She is young a beautiful, she should wear whatever makes her happy.

  22. It’s just cause you look like you’re one of the jersey housewives from bravo girlie. It ain’t your face. Stop dancing around the very obvious issue, which is styling.

  24. No it’s the fucking plastic surgery or Botox or whatever causes their stupid faces to look less like a person than a cat, or in this case a horse.

  25. If that’s 40, then I’ll take two bags full sir, if you please…

  26. Oh that’s a perfect response from her. Her style is retro and is what “ages” her, but who cares? She has the same name as an 80s R&B star and is married to the son of an 80s rock star. Why the hell not embrace an 80s style? Lol she’s perf, adore her!

  27. Isn’t it kind of a known thing that lots of actors translate well on screen with heads slightly disproportionately larger than their bodies?

    She did mature into her bone structure which changes her look from when she was younger. That’s not new, either. Only Ralph Macchio remains forever 14.

    People are being mean to her because she’s living a best life with a prince charming she’s actually in love with, and people always like to kick a princess off a hill. Let her enjoy her life right now.

  28. She did an excellent job on Enola sherlock Holmes movie. Highly recommend.

  29. Has nothing to do with her face. She was on Jimmy Fallon a year ago and looked 17. It’s her clothes and makeup, she needs to fire her people, that simple.

  31. I think this has more to do with her makeup artist and stylist than her actual age. Her face hasn’t changed that dramatically.

    Also, she can wear her makeup any way she pleases. But people will notice that she looks very different than her fresh faced zero makeup look she’s sported in her most prominent roles.

  32. I’m starting to wonder if this is all fabricated press to create the Streisand effect

  33. BAM! Gr8 comeback! I see so many pics where they put a young pic against a current one. Then all say or she’s looks so different, wrecked her face. NO its called natural aging ppl!

  34. People are awful.
    You are literally the modern day Starlet of film television and magazines.

  37. Ok, do I care about a girl who is 20 and is probably gonna be a bilionaire in 5 years ?

  38. I see both sides to this. On the one hand people need to lay off and let her be. But on the other hand she is a celebrity and she chose this life and is raking in all the benefits from it. So she made the choice to be vulnerable to the public and for people to talk about her also.

    You can’t have it both ways. People should be respectful but at the end of the day she’s a celebrity and people pay money to read and see pictures of her. Just one of the cons of being a celebrity.

  39. With the amount of work and makeup she undergoes, she’s definitely in range of 30 is the new 50. A lifetime of a fake face and always being under the knife is going to age hard

  42. It’s not that lol, it’s the damn Botox. It makes her look like someone in their thirties.

  43. Everyone here saying it’s fault she looks old for xyz are the exact reasons she has to even talk about how she looks.

    Stop. Talking. About. It. No one actually gives a shit anyways.

  44. I find her speech about this ridiculous.

    No one is hating on her ACTUAL appearance. The conversation is about young ass girls using fillers and botox and how it’s giving them a prematurely aged LOOK.

    But of course, the conversation will get twisted, and now if you DON’T like an expensive, semi-invasive medical treatment to make young girls look “hotter” you’re against all women lol.
