The interaction has been spoken about widely on social media, including a Reddit thread with a ton of people offering a wide range of opinions.
“Man i hate red carpets. Why is everyone yelling. Why is that normal,” one person asked, while a second noted: “I love Millie so much! She is gorgeous and cool!”
Meanwhile, another Reddit user said they were ‘proud’ of Bobby Brown for her reaction.
Earlier this month, a report in The Daily Mail claimed that before filming began for the final season of hit Netflix series began, Brown had filed ‘pages and pages of accusations’ of bullying against her co-star, David Harbour.
According to the outlet’s exclusive report, there were several pages of accusations made against Harbour by the 21-year-old actress, with it being claimed she always had a personal representative on set as a result of the investigation.
Bobby Brown seemed to dismiss the speculation in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, however, as she said: “I’ve obviously had a really special bond with David because we have a father and daughter relationship, and we do every scene together. You really get to see that in season five.
“It’s been so special to have him along the journey for me. Winona, the kids. I’m really honoured to have played Eleven and have to met such amazing people along the way.”
Furthermore, Stranger Things’ co-creator Ross Duffer spoke to The Hollywood Reporter, where he was dismissive of the ‘noise’ around the show ahead of the release of season five.

While fans are excited about the final season of Stranger Things, some have been confused by feud rumors swirling around about two star cast members.
Netflix hit Stranger Things has taken viewers on a whirlwind journey over the last decade and many are sad to see it come to an end with the final and fifth season.
But before we even get there, there have been rumors of serious drama behind the scenes involving Millie Bobby Brown, 21, and David Harbour, 50.
Reports have claimed that the pair weren’t getting on well while filming the final season and some went as far as to allege that the Eleven actress filed a bullying and harassment claim against Harbour.
As the star cast showed up for the season five world premiere in Los Angeles on Thursday evening (November 6), many fans noticed that Brown and Harbour were all smiles and sweet moments, contrary to the rumors.
The show’s creators were even quizzed by members of the press about the rumors and gave some pretty clear-cut answers.

Co-creator Ross Duffer spoke to the Hollywood Reporter and dismissed much of the ‘noise’ around it.
He said: “Obviously, you understand I can’t get into personal onset matters, but I will say we’ve been doing this for 10 years with this cast, and at this point they’re family and we deeply care about them. So, you know, nothing matters more than just having a set where everyone feels safe and happy.”
Stranger Things director and executive producer Shawn Levy also spoke on how production deals with bullying complaints, in clear reference to the swirling rumors.
He said they go out of their way to ‘make sure everyone feels safe and respected’.
Levy added: “You have to create a respectful workplace where everyone feels comfortable and safe, and so we did everything to build that environment. And we’re proud of the fact that we did so.
“I’ve read a bunch of stories and they range from wildly inaccurate to… there’s so much noise around it. But the truth is that we view this crew and this cast as family, and so we treat each other with respect, and that’s always been bedrock.”
Meanwhile, Brown told Entertainment Tonight: “I’ve obviously had a really special bond with David because we have a father and daughter relationship, and we do every scene together. You really get to see that in season 5.”
She added: “It’s been so special to have him along the journey for me. Winona, the kids. I’m really honoured to have played Eleven and have to met such amazing people along the way.”
Netflix also shared a video on Instagram of both actors laughing and falling into each other’s arms in front of fans.
Some fans took to commenting that they no longer believed the rumors that the pair were in the middle of a feud.

Home> Celebrity> News
In a recent interview, the actress spoke about her family plans and how she felt about adopting.
Millie Bobby Brown has grown up in front of many viewers’ eyes due to her role in Stranger Things, but the 21-year-old has had big family plans for a while.
So, when she took to Instagram to announce that she had welcomed her first child with husband Jake Bongiovi it stunned fans – with many congratulating the star.
Writing on her page on August 21 she gave fans some details but omitted the name of the pair’s child and made a specific reference to wanting privacy at this time.
She wrote: “This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption. We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy.
“And then there were 3. Love, Millie and Jake.”
While many fans were shocked at the news, for others it didn’t come as a big surprise as they had heard the actress speak about adoption in March earlier this year.
While on the SmartLess podcast with hosts Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett, Brown opened up about her family plans and the dynamic she wants.
She said: “It has been my thing since before I met Jake.
“Since I was a baby, I told my mum I want to be a mom just like the way my mom was to me and my nan.
“My grandmother is like a huge part of my life and Jake knows how important it is to me and of course I want to focus on really establishing myself as an actor and as a producer but I also find its so important to start a family, for me personally.
“Jake was like we cannot do that until we get married so that was his thing and my thing was I really want a family, I really want a big family like I’m one of four as he’s one of for.
“S
o it is definitely in our future.”
Brown also spoke about her feelings towards adoption and how she doesn’t differentiate between that and having biological children.
She continued: “For me, I don’t see having your own child as really any different than adopting.
“Because for me, my home is full of love for anyone and anything and that is what we stand by, Jake and I, the door is always open and we want everyone to feel really comfortable.”

Millie Bobby Brown gives brutally honest review of living on farm and compares it to ‘trad wife’ aesthetic
The farm life isn’t for the fainthearted

Millie Bobby Brown has been a big face in Hollywood for years but she has opened up about moving away from the bright lights for a simpler life.
The British born Millie Bobby Brown shot to international fame when she played Eleven in the hit Netflix series Stranger Things, in case you forgot.
Since then, she has been on screen alot for both films and TV, so you would be forgiven for thinking she had a lovely home right by the big studios.
Speaking to Vanity Fair, the 20-year-old explained that isn’t the case, and she instead lives with her new husband Jake Bongiovi on a farm.

Brown also revealed she isn’t actually on her phone or social media very much, but is very much aware of the surge in conversation surrounding traditional – or trad – wives.
She said she barely checks her phone and largely delegates social media duties but argued that the discourse pretty much overly romanticizes the type of life it is.
She noted that this glorification of the lifestyle isn’t what actually drew her to live on a farm in rural Georgia.
She added: “I’m not doing it for the aesthetic.
“I’m doing it because I love it. There are maybe some trad wives out there doing it because it seems wholesome, but it is not.”
Explaining the less than glamorous aspects of farm life, she continued: “If you’re not picking up horse s**t or washing a cow with your bare hands, then that life is not made for you. At all.”
Brown certainly has a love for animals, as the farm is full of horse, sheep, goat, cow and donkey, as well as a few more house-friendly animals.
As well as tending to them, she explained that she has gone a step further when it comes to caring for the animals.

Back in 2022, she started taking classes in veterinary studies and has also copped an ultrasound machine so she can learn how to scan the animals to know if they are pregnant.
Explaining the skills she has already learnt, she said: “I’m able to treat wounds, take their pulse, moderate blood pressure, things like that. I do all their medical records myself.
“Now I just have to do my externship, which is like sitting in on surgeries and things like that. Adoption campaigns [on social media] are wonderful temporarily, but you really have to get in there and do the work to make a difference.”

Millie Bobby Brown has opened up about how awkward it was filming a few scenes when she started on Stranger Things.
The actor, who plays Eleven in the hit Netflix series, was only 12 when the show kicked off.
In the first season, we get introduced to her character, who is a runaway from a secret medical testing facility for people with special powers.
She has a shaved head and virtually no knowledge of the outside world.
Eleven quickly discovers a love for waffles and demands to be fed them at any chance.
While her character might lap up the delicious food in the show, Millie feels very differently about it.
When asked in an interview by WIRED Auto Complete Interview whether she shared Eleven’s affinity for waffles, Millie said: “No, I don’t.
“People think I do, but actually in Stranger Things I had a little spit bucket next to me and I’d spit into it because I couldn’t swallow the waffles because I’d gag.”
Now that’s an extreme disdain for waffles.
To be fair, if you had to keep eating them again and again because they wanted to film the scene one more time, you’d probably get over it pretty quickly.
Thankfully for Brown, the waffles haven’t made much of an appearance in later seasons.
In a separate interview, the 18-year-old revealed there was another awkward part of filming scenes.
Play
She revealed back in 2016 that her kissing scenes with Finn Wolfhard, who plays Mike Wheeler in the show, was her first kiss.
Brown was asked in a Vanity Fair lie detector test: “You exclaimed ‘kissing sucks’ after your first kiss with Finn Wolfhard. Is Finn just a lousy kisser?”
Millie responded: “He is.”
The technician stated the teenage actor was telling the truth.
The questioner added: “So he hasn’t gotten better?”
Brown responded: “Not with me. No.”
Rough.
These revelations come a few days after Brown said she would love to play Britney Spears if there was ever a biopic made about the queen of pop’s life.
She told Drew Barrymore: “I want to play a real person. I think [Britney’s] story, first of all, resonates with me growing up in the public eye.
“Watching her videos, watching interviews of her when she was younger. Same thing with you.
“I see the scramble for words [in the interviews] and I don’t know her, but when I look at pictures of her, I feel like I could tell her story in the right way and hers only.”
