Millie Bobby Brown and Rachel Zegler face online bullying
Young actresses Millie Bobby Brown and Rachel Zegler are facing criticism online following their rises to fame. This bullying highlights the dark side of social media, where anyone can attack public figures, especially young women. Recently, Brown received backlash over her appearance after the premiere of "The Electric State." Critics claimed she looks much older than her childhood role in "Stranger Things." In response, she urged the press to treat people with kindness and acknowledge that everyone grows and makes mistakes. Zegler has also faced criticism, especially around the premiere of Disney's "Snow White." This event was scaled back, and the media focused on controversies surrounding Zegler and co-star Gal Gadot. Their differing views on the conflict in Gaza have fueled some of the negativity, but much of the criticism seems trivial. For example, Zegler has been mocked for a comment about finding the original "Snow White" scary as a child. Critics have made fun of Zegler's walking style at the Oscars, showing how the online mob can latch onto small details for ridicule. Women in the public eye, like Zegler and Brown, face a level of scrutiny that their male counterparts generally do not. Yet, Zegler is finding success and resilience despite the backlash. She recently learned that she will star in a new production of "Evita" in London, proving that she is moving forward despite the negativity.
