The actor admitted she was shocked by the criticism of her looks.
Madeline Brewer says she was shocked by the haters who criticized her appearance in the final season of Netflix’s “You.”
In a new interview with People, the actor, who starred as Louise “Brontë” Flannery in the thriller series, said she’s aware she’s “not everybody’s cup of tea” but admitted she felt blindsided by the online hate over her looks.
“I didn’t expect people to like Brontë, but I didn’t expect them to call me ugly, because I’m not,” she told the outlet in a story published Sunday. “I get that I’m not everybody’s cup of tea, but I’m not ugly.”
In the fifth and final season of “You,” Brontë orchestrates the take down and arrest the beloved serial killer and so-called lover boy Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) after he spent years murdering dozens of people.
Brewer, 33, who called herself a “huge fan” of the show, said the criticism of her appearance particularly threw her for a loop considering that women make up the “largest fan base” of the show.
