Millie Bobby Brown, child star who plays Eleven on the Netflix series Stranger Things, has been subjected to some bizarre, online harassment of late.
Brown has been accused of being a racist and a homophobe by several internet trolls via Twitter. It’s one thing to create fictional narratives about politicians, and even older celebrities, but to fabricate reality by making unfounded claims about a fourteen-year-old girl is quite another. It’s actually abhorrent how mean-spirited this trolling campaign has been.
Here are some of the tweets:
It started with this. Then she tweeted #takedownmilliebobbybrown which her followers jumped on and it became a full blown meme pic.twitter.com/AqDg04Vcwt

I finally have the courage to tell MY #TakeDownMillieBobbyBrown story. I went to my local Home Depot when I saw Millie walk in. I asked her for a photo. She proceeded to yell “FUCK YOU REPTILIAN DYKE” and shoved an electric saw up my vagina. I’ve never been the same. Please,help.

Many have come to Brown’s defense, however, condemning the preposterous accusations, labeling them as just that, accusations. There is no fruit growing on this rotting tree.
pretending millie bobby brown, a literal child, is a violent homophobe for memes is fucking disgusting and not funny at all. You are grown adults, editing photos of her with captions that include the f slur, violence against lgbt community for comedy and it’s fucking gross.

This might be an unpopular opinion but the Millie Bobby Brown is homophobic memes are disgusting and not funny at all. She’s an fucking child and years from now those images will still be there & could legitimately get her in trouble or damage her career. You all fucking suck

Brown did in fact deactivate her account. I just hope that she is not scarred for life over this absolutely absurd attack from these pernicious members of the online community.
