I went on a family trip to my mother's hometown. While we were there, we attended my cousin's wedding. During the reception dinner, my uncle and father of the bride, interrupted his meal (for reasons I will never understand) to walk over to my table and tell me that a woman that doesn't take care of her body, doesn't love herself and that I needed to consider losing weight. I was absolutely stunned. Speechless. My sister, who was sitting next to me, was stunned, too. He then proceeded to greet a few others at our table before returning to his table. I ended up quietly leaving the reception and cried the whole way back to my hotel room. It was awful and yet, so so common in my family. I have since practiced how to stand up for myself in moments like these and simply call them out for what they are, bullies!
She's now a woman! No shame in that
Shame on the older actresses trying to look young with extreme procedures!!
Truth is GenZ favor fashion and makeup that are for the older ages. As a millenial I wasn't spruced up like my mom until I started working. Just laid back and casual and I was of the opinion that botox is for forty plus year olds but nineteen year olds are getting it.
She looks like my 50 year old aunt Trudy
Stay strong Millie! Your fans love you – fck the haters!
She’s aging like milk. We all have flaws
She looks like a young Julie Andrews!
Whoever thinks millie looks old is nuts ❤
She's absolutely right too. Leave this poor girl alone..
I absolutely love this girl. She's one of my favorite actress. People should be ashamed of themselves for bullying her.
Strong message millie❤ keep the good fight
You are young strong and beautiful ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Well done you ❤
She actually handled this very well (and I ain’t even a big fan of hers) 👍 When you compare something like this to say, oh I don’t know, Selena Gomez! And her ugly-crying in a video, that was truly sooo damn cringe 🫣 Yes, then this here is to be respected 🙏
Maybe buy some thicker skin?
LUV MBB!❤❤ The rest can smooch it!! Haters will hate!!
This isn't the first girl they've done this, too. Britney Spears, Christina Aguilara, Jessica Simpson, Amanda Bynes, Millie. Your face and body change as you get older and mature. Britney and Jessica were specifically dragged after having babies and their bodies not being the same as before. I'm so happy she spoke out about this issue within journalism and social media. She's growing up, and she's just as beautiful doing it💕
She’s beautiful!
Why so much hate towards her ? Arnt everybody her age dressing the same ?
She’s at the pinnacle of public perception but then wonders why people have an opinion of her? Seems like she was never aware of it cause she was a kid but now that she’s an adult people are speaking their mind and she’s too sensitive for it.
I mean she used to always make fun of American voices
I dont get people saying she looks older than people on their 30. She looks absolutely her age, she DOES look 21, she just dress more mature. On the trailer of the movie you see her looking absolutely like a 21 years old girl. The makeup, the hair, maybe the clothes may make her look more mature, but older than she is? Yall tripping and actually making her a target
Well stop making bad choices. Period
I think you are beautiful loved you in elona 1 and 2 and in damsel you are a great actress and stranger things
I agree with her, that was bullying.
It's a shame the way that we are behaving lately only talking about other persons looks. 👀
It’s not bullying though to tell younger impressionable fans to not get cosmetic surgery and or fillers when they’re 18 or 20.
Why are people acting like white women don’t age fast like this? She’s a pretty young lady, and she is aging normally for her race. It’s not a big deal
Honey you are gorgeous. Also, you should be aware that people have opinions on famous people. Its ok for them to point out what they think about you and every other celeb.
Love the blonde ❤
You’re beautiful! I love your work.
