Yahoo News Millie Bobby Brown addresses Twitter exit and bullying
Millie Bobby Brown has responded to bullies after being forced off Twitter.
The Stranger Things actress became the subject of a homophobic meme causing her to leave the social media site all together.
But in a defiant speech, the 14-year-old answered back after winning best performance in a show for the second year in a row at the MTV Movie & TV Awards.
"I want you to know how grateful I am to those that support me," she said in a pre-recorded video message.

"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."
Brown added: "There should be no space in this world for bullying, and I'm not going to tolerate it and neither should any of you.
"If you need a reminder of how worthy you are, and to rise above the hate, message me on Instagram."
The teenage actress was unable to attend the awards show after she split her knee-cap.
Her Stranger Things co-stars gave an update on how she's going, admitting the injury was "gnarly".
Finn Wolfhard said: "She's in high spirits... it's a gnarly picture." Noah Schnapp also said: "I hope she's okay. We've sent her a lot of videos and cards and stuff."
And their co-star Sadie Sink added: "She's gonna get better really soon. Unfortunately, she hurt her knee. I think she slipped, it wasn't on set, but she fractured her knee. But she's getting better."
Stranger Things is expected to return to Netflix in 2019.
