The actress believes that when someone grows up in the public eye, people don’t notice their own changes but are quick to criticize others.

«I started working in this industry when I was 10. I grew up in front of the whole world, and for some reason, people can’t seem to grow with me. Instead, they act as if I’m supposed to be frozen in time. And since that’s not the case, I’ve become a target. Bullying: grown adults spend their time discussing my face and body,» the star emphasized.

Brown added that for the sake of clicks, tabloids find it easier to spread hate rather than publish something positive.

«Disappointed people can’t stand to see a girl becoming a woman on her own terms, not theirs. I’m not going to apologize for growing up. I refuse to make myself look younger to fit the unrealistic expectations of those who can’t handle seeing a girl turn into a woman. I will not be ashamed of how I look, how I dress, or how I present myself,» Brown concluded in her video statement.
