You\u2019re young. You don\u2019t know that bad pics and bad reviews can lead to 350 people losing their jobs. Sell vintage. Work at a shelter. Do something better than what you do now. Because right now you suck.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Many people came to <strong>Shealynn<\/strong>\u2018s defense, pointing out how critics have freedom of speech to share their opinions and that the photo used was an official still provided by Paramount+.<\/p>\n<p>ScreenRant\u2019s <strong>Andy Behbakht<\/strong> wrote, \u201cThis is disgusting behavior on your part, and really tragic to see you tearing down a young female journalist whom you are literally telling that she \u2018sucks\u2019 and that she shouldn\u2019t be in the field that she is in. I stand by my colleague, and you owe her an apology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Paget<\/strong> later deleted the tweet and wrote an apology. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cHi guys, I was mean to Shealyn Scott last night and I profoundly regret it.
