\n\t\u201cCriminal Minds\u201d star Paget Brewster lashed out at ScreenRant staffer Shealyn Scott over X on Saturday afternoon for her story lamenting the changes Paramount+ has delivered to the long-running procedural drama.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHello critic Shealynn Scott,\u201d Brewster wrote within the since-deleted post. \u201cYou\u2019re young. You don\u2019t know that bad pics and bad reviews can result in 350 people losing their jobs. Sell vintage. Work at a shelter. Do something higher than what you do now. Because immediately you suck.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFilm and TV critics were quick to hit back within the replies. David Rooney, chief film critic at The Hollywood Reporter, wrote in his response to Brewster, \u201cThis can be a very bad look. An actor on a long-running show attacking a young reviewer who contextualizes her respectful criticisms with obvious knowledge of the fabric \u2014 says far more about u being thin-skinned than it does about her professionalism. \u2018Work at a shelter,\u2019 really?!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSenior ScreenRant author Andy Behbakht also got here to the defense of Scott, writing, \u201cThat is disgusting behavior in your part, and really tragic to see you tearing down a young female journalist whom you’re literally telling that she \u2018sucks\u2019 and that she shouldn\u2019t be in the sphere that she is in. I stand by my colleague, and also you owe her an apology.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBrewster released an apology<\/a> for the post on Sunday. She wrote on X, \u201cHi guys, I used to be mean to Shealyn Scott last night and I profoundly regret it. Shame on me for insulting a human being for doing their job. I\u2019m very sorry, Shealyn. And I\u2019m sorry to those that follow me that you simply saw me behave like that. Seems, last night, I sucked.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cCriminal Minds\u201d premiered its fifteenth and final season on CBS in 2020, after which was revived for Paramount+ in 2022 under the title \u201cCriminal Minds: Evolution.\u201d Scott\u2019s piece<\/a> discussed the changes \u201cCriminal Minds\u201d underwent when it went from linear to streaming.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFrom details as small as a rankings change to TV-MA\u2014 which allows David Rossi (Joe Mantegna) and Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster) the occasional heated expletive\u2014 to latest foremost solid members like Tyler Green (Ryan-James Hatanaka), there\u2019s little question that \u2018Criminal Minds: Evolution\u2019 has its own unique identity,\u201d Scott wrote in her story. \u201cLoads of the continuation\u2019s changes have been received warmly, and \u2018Criminal Minds\u2019 unquestionably still works as a gripping crime drama, but there are only as many tweaks that feel more like downgrades\u2014 including the brand new 10-episode season structure. Though logical in theory, the shortened seasons are unfortunately working against \u2018Criminal Minds\u2019\u2019 biggest strengths.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
