Criminal Minds' Paget Brewster Apologizes After Facing Backlash for Slamming Critic for a Review She Didn't Like - Just Jared - Celebrity News and Gossip

Paget Brewster is apologizing after she faced backlash for lashing out at a TV critic who had mixed things to say about the latest season of her Paramount+ series, Criminal Minds: Evolution.

In a tweet on X, Paget slammed ScreenRant writer Shealynn Scott for using “bad pics” and writing a “bad review.” You can read the since-deleted tweet below.

“Hello critic Shealynn Scott. You’re young. You don’t 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.”

Many people came to Shealynn‘s 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+.

ScreenRant’s Andy Behbakht wrote, “This 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 ‘sucks’ and that she shouldn’t be in the field that she is in. I stand by my colleague, and you owe her an apology.”

Paget later deleted the tweet and wrote an apology.

“Hi guys, I was mean to Shealyn Scott last night and I profoundly regret it. 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.”

Paget recently reflected on being fired from Criminal Minds and what made her return to the show.
