'You' actress Madeline Brewer feels the season finale was 'intense' and 'traumatizing'; says calling her 'ugly' is unreasonable
Madeline Brewer , the actress whose role ended the obsession (to kill) of the infamous Joe Goldberg , revealed that the finale of the fifth season was 'intense' and 'traumatizing.' However, along with the intense choreography, she said that it was all worth it. While the internet chose to mock or troll Louise/Bronte, Brewer has given her firm statement about them as well. Madeline Brewer felt the choreography was intense In an interview with People, Madeline stated, 'It was a huge moment and it was really exciting to help land the plane of these five seasons of a show.' 'It was intense, but it was really choreographed. It was every moment, down to where little scrapes and things were on us were super choreographed. But really traumatising in a lot of ways. I talked about this on Penn [Badgley]'s Podcrushed Podcast. Yeah, it was really intense. It was great, though,' she added. "I don't care — but you don't need to call me ugly.' Additionally, Madeline stated that people choose to troll her about the actions her character does, seamlessly forgetting the difference between the character and the actor. In an interview with Vanity Fair, she said, 'People aren't going to like Bronte 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. If that means I'm not on Instagram for a while, that's fine.' In a different interview with L'Officiel, Madeline expressed about Kaitlyn Denver getting hate for her role (Abby from 'The Last of Us' - who killed Pedro Pascal's character). Questioning the incapability of separating the actor from character, Madeline stated that if the audience doesn't like her character, 'I don't care — but you don't need to call me ugly.' While the trolls have supported Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti), the former partner of Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) in 'You,' the hate for Louise Flannery has been common. There have been subreddits of netizens supporting the actress, calling out the users for supporting misogynistic comments.

Madeline Brewer is opening up about her role as one of You's final girls. At the launch celebration for the PEOPLE app, held at the Hotel Chelsea in New York City on Tuesday, April 29, Brewer, 33, broke down the show's dramatic ending. The actress told PEOPLE exclusively, "It was a huge moment and it was really exciting to help land the plane of these five seasons of a show." She continued, "It was intense, but it was really choreographed. It was every moment, down to where little scrapes and things were on us were super choreographed.

Louise is an English student from Ohio who once worked with TA Guinivere Beck (Elizabeth Lail) at New York University. Beck was the central love interest in You season one, and among the show's serial killer Joe Goldberg's (Penn Badgley) first victims. Upon discovering that Beck's true killer may have gotten away with murder, she adopts the alter-ego of Brontë (named after the famous literary Brontë sisters of Gothic literature) to lure Joe Goldberg to justice after getting a job in his bookstore. The show's final showdown sees Brontë and Joe engaged in a grisly confrontation in the woods near the U.S.-Canadian border, where Brontë enticed him under the guise of fleeing the country together. Throughout the show's five-season run, Joe's character kills off several of his love interests, starting with Beck, and later his wife, Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti) along with a number of other characters in their orbit.

I've been engaging in this ... my entire 30s," Badgley said. "I became a father while I was on this show. I only got married just before I took the role. So I've grown a lot and I've grown with Joe in a strange way," he added. "He's taught me a lot about what it is to be a man by knowing what it is not. And I don't mean the obvious things like, 'Oh, don't murder, that's bad.' That's very clear." Season 5 of You is now streaming on Netflix. Read the original article on People
