Fans Slam Millie Bobby Brown Being Pregnant Calls in Support for the Young ‘Stranger Things’ Actress

Published 07/16/2024, 2:12 AM EDT

Fresh off the wedding updates and the merciless flex of the diamond stud on her fingers, Millie Bobby Brown has again found herself the recurring victim of pregnancy rumors that began as early as last year. Although Brown clarified the speculations with a clear-cut confession about how she herself had accidentally stoked the rumor, with the reappearance of the same, Brown fans have grown visibly defiant, questioning the ground of the conjectures and if the ones pointing the fingers had anything to back up those claims. 

Last year in September, Millie Bobby Brown appeared on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna, sharing a hilarious story about how she accidentally started a pregnancy rumor. She recounted buying diapers for a little lamb she was raising at home with Jake Bongiovi, which caught the attention of her neighbors and quickly sparked gossip that she was pregnant. As she recently took to her Instagram to share a carousel of pictures flaunting night-time apparel by Florence by Mills Fashion, her bare stomach in the cropped shirt reignited the speculations once more.

Despite clarifying the situation, fans continued to believe the rumor and eagerly awaited pregnancy updates. Although Millie has expressed her dreams of becoming a mother, the rumor was unfounded and baseless. In March of this year, she appeared on The Jonathan Ross Show and recounted the same incident, emphasizing how buying nappies for her lamb at her Georgia farm led to the misunderstanding. However, the repeated transparency clearly held no weight.

Millie Bobby Brown has openly expressed her frustration when fans disregard her boundaries. It is fitting, then, that her fan club shows resilience against unfounded rumors. As a result, when one user commented, “thought she was pregnant ngl,” they were met with numerous counters. Another confused fan asked, “why do people think she’s pregnant 😭,” while someone else took a sharp jab at the rumor creators, stating, “men when women don’t hold their breath in photos and have a normal body: 🤯🤯😠😠🤬🤬🤬.”

With fame comes the scrutiny of those who enjoy adding spice to celebrity gossip. Recognizing this nature of celebrity culture, a fan commented, “celebrity with little tummy.... ppl be like they’re pregnant 💀.” Another fan criticized the toxicity of such rumors, saying, “for the love of God, people on this internet forgot that organs exist! This place is BIZARRE.” Fame has forever been a double-edged sword. Thus, while some throw mud, others stand ready to wash it away just like the loyalists of Brown just did.
