She said: “I refuse to apologise for growing up. I refuse to make myself smaller to fit the unrealistic expectations of people who can’t handle seeing a girl become a woman. I will not be shamed for how I look, how I dress, or how I present myself. We have become a society where it’s so much easier to criticise than it is to pay a compliment.

“Why is the knee-jerk reaction to say something horrible rather than to say something nice? If you have a problem with that, I have to wonder – what is it that actually makes you so uncomfortable? Let’s do better. Not just for me, but for every young girl who deserves to grow up without fear of being torn apart for simply existing.”

Now, she has criticised the tabloids again in the latest episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast.

She told host Alex Cooper that the press “love to go in on me with certain things,” including saying “that I look a lot older” and pointing out changes in her British accent.

“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?”

Despite, the constant scrutiny, she said that she is comfortable in her own skin.

She added: “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.

“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.”

Elsewhere, she also revealed that her real name is actually Millie Bonnie Brown during an interview for her new Netflix movie The Electric State with co-star Chris Pratt.

The movie is set in an alternative future where an orphaned teenager searches the American West with a robot and an eccentric drifter in search of her younger brother.
