Madeline Brewer, who stars as Bronte in You Season 5, faced a barrage of criticism from fans of the series on social media. They had rudely accused the actress of ruining Penn Badgley‘s psychological thriller-drama by simply appearing in it. Brewer has now addressed the criticism via social media and reacted to the rude comments.

Here is how Madeline Brewer reacted to fan criticism towards her You Season 5 appearance.

Madeline Brewer reacts to criticism from You fans

In the wake of You Season 5’s release, Madeline Brewer faced a flood of harsh comments on Instagram from angry fans.

Accusations quickly surfaced, claiming Brewer had “ruined” the beloved psychological thriller just by joining the cast. Standing her ground, Brewer clapped back directly. When one user bluntly wrote, “You ruined the show,” she simply replied, “No I didn’t.”

But the criticism didn’t end there. Another fan labeled Brewer as the “worst love interest” for Penn Badgley’s Joe Goldberg. In response, Brewer sarcastically jabbed that the commenter was just upset they didn’t get to kiss Joe themselves—something she proudly did onscreen.

Yet another fan accused her of ruining Season 5 with her looks, leading to Brewer responding by saying she didn’t.

The Reddit thread that shared the above post, was however supportive of Brewer and critical of the fan criticism. “You fans are being completely awful to her and the final season, and proving the show’s final message right,” one fan wrote.

Another fan who claimed that they hadn’t seen the show since Victoria Pedretti’s Love Quinn died called the fan criticism towards Brewer, “jobless behavior.” Several fans even praised Brewer’s boldness, with one user sharing they became an even bigger fan after seeing her clap back at the rudeness.

Oddly enough, Brewer had anticipated fan backlash towards Bronte. In a Vanity Fair interview earlier this month, the actress acknowledged how fans would not be welcoming towards her character. She noted that they would hate her “for one reason or another.”

“They’ll love to hate her—or hate to love her. So that part I’m just gently preparing myself for,” Brewer added. “If that means I’m not on Instagram for a while, that’s fine.”

Brewer then stressed at the time that she had other things to focus on. She expressed hope that fans would be “chill” with her character. However, she also admitted that she would be fine if they did not like Bronte.
