"Stranger Things" star Millie Bobby Brown called out online bullies, saying she will never give in to abuse and also urged others to not surrender.
The 14-year-old actor slammed the social media trolls as she accepted the Best Performance in a Show for the Netflix series for a consecutive second year.
"I want you to know how grateful I am to those that support me. Since I know there are many young people watching this, and even to the adults too, they could probably use the reminder that I was taught - that if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say it.
"There should be no space in this world for bullying, and I'm not going to tolerate it and either should any of you. If you need a reminder of how worthy you are, and to rise above the hate, message me on Instagram," Brown said in a pretaped video message as she could not attend the show due to a broken kneecap.
This is the first time the actor has addressed cyber bullying after she quit social media, barely a week ago.
The actor left the platform after various memes surfaced online depicting her as a homophobe.
In the past, "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" actors Kelly Marie Tran and Daisy Ridley also were subjected to online trolling.
