Millie Bobby Brown’s team censor social media feeds to only include ‘positive posts’ after it had ‘detrimental effect’ on her mental health
She’s amassed a staggering 63.5 million Instagram followers since rising to fame as a child star on Stranger Things.
But Millie Bobby Brown now has her team ‘censor’ her social media feeds so that she only sees ‘positive’ posts after finding the platforms had a detrimental effect on her mental health.
The British actress, 19, who was just 12 when the phenomenal success of the Netflix show sent her star into the stratosphere, said shutting out negative content has given her ‘mental freedom.’
‘I personally feel it wasn’t adding anything to my life. And I felt positive when I didn’t have it on my phone,’ she said of deleting her social media apps.
‘I just felt like I could live my life with more confidence and freedom, mental freedom. I just feel better for it,’ she told Women’s Wear Daily.

She added: ‘But that doesn’t mean that the good social media I don’t get to see: I just have a wonderful team that kind of censors it all, so that I can protect myself.’
Despite not looking at them often herself, Millie still uses social media platforms to promote her makeup brand Florence by Mills, and has her team send customer reviews to her.
‘TikTok, Facebook, Instagram — I love seeing the way people use Florence. It’s really cool. Even though I don’t have those social medias actually on my phone, I get to have people send them to me.’
As well as her makeup range, the prolific star produced and starred in Netflix’s Enola Holmes film, is a Louis Vuitton ambassador and has just written her first novel, Nineteen Steps, which is published next month.
Millie said that her forthcoming wedding to Jake Bongiovi – the son of rocker Jon Bon Jovi – would be a private affair that she would be ‘drawing the curtains’ on.
‘I think probably drawing the curtains, just because there are only so many moments in life that you get only once. And to have everyone’s opinions and eyes looking at that just feels unnatural to me,’ she said.
‘So I feel it’s important to keep those things, those small precious moments in life, really close to your chest. I can say that the planning is going — it’s so fun and it’s such an exciting time in my life.’
In April, the Primetime Emmy nominee announced she was engaged to the son of Jon Bon Jovi.

Taking to social media to announce her engagement earlier this year, the star showed off her glimmering rock with a monochrome picture while in the arms of her new fiancé.
She penned in the caption: ‘I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, I want ’em all’.
While Jake also shared an announcement post to his own page, simply writing ‘forever’ alongside two snaps of the couple.
Their famous friends rushed to the comments to congratulate the happy couple on the news.
