You’re young. You don’t know that bad pics and bad reviews can lead to 350 people losing their jobs,” Brewster wrote in the now-deleted post (per Variety<\/em><\/a>). “Sell vintage. Work at a shelter. Do something better than what you do now. Because right now you suck.”<\/p>\n The backlash to Brewster’s post was immediate.<\/p>\n Within 24 hours, Brewster had deleted the post and thrown up an apology.<\/p>\n “Hi guys, I was mean to Shealyn Scott last night and I profoundly regret it,” she wrote on the same platform<\/a> on Sunday. “Shame on me for insulting a human being for doing their job. I’m very sorry, Shealyn. And I’m sorry to those who follow me that you saw me behave like that. Turns out, last night, I sucked.”<\/p>\n Entertainment Weekly <\/em>has reached out to representatives for ScreenRant and Brewster for comment.<\/p>\n
