There is a line that people should not cross, but people do. One should never comment on others looks and yet, people always do. A persons laugh, a persons smile, the way a person dresses, their bodies – it’s off limits. Yes, we know that sometimes a person will ask for your opinion and that’s a different story.
But one of the worst things that you can say to a woman – “smile.” If they wanted to smile, they would.
Look, smiling is simple, we get that people think that. But you can easily tell the difference between a fake or a real smile. If a person doesn’t want to smile, then they don’t want to smile. They shouldn’t be told to smile – especially you NEVER say it to a woman.
Celebrities have pictures taken of them almost daily, so there is no shock to us that they aren’t always going to be smiling. It’s how they want their picture and there needs to be a level of respect for that. Unfortunately paparazzi rarely does.
Millie Bobby Brown is a celebrity that is constantly under scrutiny and we’re loving that she’s not taking anyones crap.
While on the carpet for Stranger Things in London. a photographer told her to smile. Millie wasn’t taking that and snapped back, “Smile? You smile!”
We love a queen that stands up for herself and doesn’t take crap. see the interaction below.
