In the letter addressing the film, she went on to question the makers about breaking her ‘perfect illusion of a Barbie. An excerpt from her letter read: "I was anxiously running out of the theater wondering what had I just exposed my child to. She had been waiting to watch your film and here I was just shocked, disappointed and heartbroken with what I had just exposed her to. I was the first one to walk out of the movie within 10/15 minutes and by the time I reached out, I saw other parents following with their little ones crying, while some parents chose to stay back to watch the entire movie. I'm glad though that I chose to walk out within 10-15 minutes as I didn't even want to think about how much worse it would have got-ten.... In fact I would say leave PG-13, the language and content in your film Barbie is inappropriate even for children 13 and above".
