Paget Brewster Goes OFF on Critic, Then Immediately Regrets It

Paget Brewster just proved that even Hollywood A-listers have their breaking points. The Criminal Minds icon absolutely went there on a TV critic — then spent the next few hours eating her words.

Here’s what went down: Shealyn Scott, a senior writer at Screenrant, dropped a pretty brutal review of Brewster’s latest project. Instead of letting it roll off her back like a pro, Brewster took to social media and went straight for the jugular, calling out Scott by name and basically telling her she had no idea what she was talking about.

But the rage spiral didn’t last long. Within hours, Brewster had deleted the posts and released a full apology, admitting she \”shouldn’t have responded that way\” and that Scott was \”just doing her job.\” She even acknowledged that negative reviews are part of the deal when you’re in entertainment. Very mature, very classy — the complete opposite of her initial meltdown.

Brewster’s quick pivot actually earned her some respect from fans, who appreciated the accountability. Scott, for her part, hasn’t publicly responded to the drama. Sometimes the best move in a Twitter war is to just let it die.
