Millie Bobby Brown Falls Prey to Heavy Criticism For Older-Beyond-Her-Age Looks in Latest Florence Ad

Published 09/17/2024, 12:49 AM EDT

Stranger Things fame, Millie Bobby Brown, has aggressively expanded her empire beyond acting, digging way too deep into the entrepreneur's club for a 20-year-old. While devoted fans applaud her diversified portfolio, eager to stay connected with their idol, critics remain unimpressed with her flurry of business ventures. As if the West did not have had enough of the Jenners and the Kardashians already, Brown's unbridled pursuit has led onlookers to grow weary of the actress' omnipresence. 

Millie Bobby Brown's fashion brand, Florence By Mills, unveiled a new loungewear collection, featuring the actress in its latest ads. The Micro Thermal Crop Cami campaign showcased as "Mill's Picks", a curated selection of Brown's personal favorites, caught the attention of Redditors when it was shared online. However, instead of enthusiasm, the post sparked swift criticism.

The backlash slammed Brown's entrepreneurial endeavors into overstepping, with some accusing even her of prioritizing branding over acting. As the debate wore on across threads, the actress gained hardcore critics in place of staunch supporters against the original plan. Nonetheless, she also had a few supporters who rushed in for rescue, but all went in vain.

Redditors blasted Millie Bobby Brown's ad, with many noting she looks significantly "a good 15 years older than she is" with another claiming her face looks “weighed down with fillers". Others reminisced about her older acting gigs, exclaiming, "How can someone destroy her career that much?". Joining the discussion, critics meanwhile, drew parallels between Brown and the Kardashian-Jenner clan, accusing how "They learned it from Kylie Jenner" to adopt their typical tactics to stay relevant. 

 From Eleven to entrepreneur, Millie Bobby Brown's remarkable journey has catapulted her to millions. At just 20, she owns a sprawling business empire, including skincare and beauty brand Florence by Mills, a coffee brand, and clothing line, contributing to her impressive $14 million net worth. However, it is only natural for critics to wonder if her entrepreneurial zeal will alienate her core audience.
