The Stranger Things star posted about the unsettling interaction in her Instagram Stories and had a simple message for anyone who wanted to call themselves her fan.
Millie Bobby Brown already called out adults who insisted on making inappropriate comments about her both in the media and on social media platforms. Brown even deleted her Twitter account in 2018 due to the overwhelming amount of harassment she received on the platform.
On her 16th birthday, the actress posted a montage featuring the cruel and derogatory comments aimed at her. Now, she’s calling out an aggressive fan who insisted on invading the young actress’s privacy.
Brown posted a video to her Instagram Stories about how she was approached by a fan while out Christmas shopping with her mom. The fan, a girl, asked to film Brown. “I said, ‘Um, no.’ But why would anyone want to be taken a video of? Of me? It’s not like of the both of us,'” she recalled.
I don’t need to justify it to anyone. If I don’t want to be taken a video of, I don’t have to be.
The encounter only got worse after the girl deliberately ignored Brown’s wishes and began filming the teenaged star anyway. “I was paying and she walked past me and began to video me again. And I said, ‘I’m a human being. Like, what more can I ask from you?’ She said ‘So I can’t take a video of a human being?’ And I said, ‘No, not when I said no,'” Brown explained, in tears over the incident.
