Millie Bobby Brown Strikes Back At Critics Over Husband'S Stroller 'Scandal'

Millie Takes on the Trolls

Millie Bobby Brown, the ever-bold star of Stranger Things, isn't holding back when it comes to defending her partner, Jake Bongiovi. The 22-year-old actress recently faced a social media whirlwind after paparazzi snaps showed her juggling luggage and a stroller while her 24-year-old husband stood by. On the Not Gonna Lie podcast with Kylie Kelce, Millie passionately addressed the uproar: "Hi, I’m Millie Bobby Brown, and I’m not gonna lie, when did women become incapable of holding their own bags, car seats and stuff? I can also do it on my own."

"People are like, 'Your husband doesn’t hold a single thing.' Because I’m three miles ahead. I have been planning this all night." Millie exclaimed, emphasizing her proactive nature.

Empowering Women, One Stroller at a Time

Millie was quick to dismiss the notion that she needed rescuing, highlighting her love for taking charge when traveling. "We’re all about empowering girls and, 'you got it' and 'you don’t need a man.' But then when I’m like, 'OK, I can carry my own things,' people are like, 'Where’s your husband?'" she explained. She also took a moment to praise Jake, son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi, describing him as "the most polite, sweet, will-do-anything-for-me" partner. Yet, she pointed out, "he also knows I’m capable and not broken."

Standing Strong as a Young Mom

Addressing criticism of her becoming a mother at 21, Millie called out "vicious and angry" trolls who questioned her life choices. "For everybody who was like, 'Oh my god, a 21-year-old mom. Oh my gosh, how could she?' I’m having the most amazing time," she shared. The couple, who surprised fans with their adoption announcement, tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in May 2024, followed by a lavish celebration in Tuscany. Their joint Instagram post joyfully proclaimed, "And then there were 3. We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy."

Millie vs. Online Bullies

Navigating online criticism is nothing new for Millie. The Enola Holmes actress has long been vocal about the negative impact of internet trolls, sharing how the relentless comments have caused her "pain and insecurity" since childhood. Refusing to let the haters win, Millie has fiercely defended her choices and her loved ones. She previously clapped back at critics dissecting her private life, boldly stating, "The fact that adult writers are spending their time dissecting my face, my body, my choices is disturbing."

Through it all, Millie Bobby Brown remains a force to be reckoned with, standing strong against the naysayers and embracing her independence with pride.
