Brown’s been in the public eye for six years, and she’s seen enough to recognize a change in how she’s being discussed in the press and on social media.

(The subreddit was reportedly taken down.)

“If they had published the photographs 24 hours earlier they would have been illegal, but because I had just turned 18 they were legal.” “My immediate response to that was: 'Well, the male population had no problem sexualizing Emma Watson immediately.’” Addressing the narrative of former child stars going off the rails as teenagers, Cole added: “Every single person going through that trauma has a unique experience. I have been dealing with that — but I have also been dealing with that forever.” He said: “My brother and I used to get quite a bit of, ‘Oh, you made it out! “I thought, My, is this really what we’re talking about?” she said. “Any 18-year-old is dealing with navigating being an adult and having relationships and friendships and being liked and trying to fit in,” she said.

The actor made a specific reference to a time when she was “crucified” by the media at the age of 16 because she wore a slightly low-cut outfit to an awards show. “It’s all a lot, and you’re trying to find yourself while doing that. In 2018 she became the youngest person ever named on Time’s 100 most influential people in the world list and was also appointed a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. One Reddit forum even had an “NSFW” warning as it teased that it wouldn’t open until Millie’s 18th birthday.
