Why does Millie Bobby Brown use 'a fake name?'

Brown explained on the podcast, “I have a fake name because I think it’s important, you know? My whole life is people criticizing me. So I’m gonna give it back to you sometimes.”

She recounted the incident that prompted her to start leaving reviews, citing specific situations that warranted her feedback. Brown remembered an encounter where an elderly woman in a store mistook her for an employee and asked for assistance in finding socks.

The actress proceeded to seek assistance for the woman and approached an employee for help. However, she noted that the employee did not fulfill his duties adequately.



 

“I think she thought I worked there. And I was like, I don’t, but I’m going to help you,” she said. “And I was just like, please, this isn’t even for me,” Brown said to the unhelpful employee. “So I left a review.”

When asked by the podcasters if she identified with the label of 'a Karen,' the 20-year-old actress didn't seem bothered by it.

“Okay, I’m A Karen. And I don’t want to say — listen, I do think it’s important to know where you went wrong, and [there’s] always room for improvement,” Brown replied.

Millie also appeared on ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show,’ and talked about her love for Taylor Swift’s music.

“Like I know exactly where she is at all times. Some might call that a stalker,” she told the presenter.



 

Internet supports Millie Bobby Brown

Fans also reacted over TikTok, where one said, “This is refreshing. We don’t get to see celebs being this authentic these days. Good for Millie.”

A second one praised Millie, “She’s so real for this 😂👏.”

“That’s NOT a Karen! Being honest about service is fair. It’s when expectations are awful that you become a Karen,” said another.

“I am a review leaver lover,” another wrote.

One user admitted, “I am brutally honest but then I will also make sure I’ve added in a positive so they don’t think they are terrible. I do also leave very positive reviews for places I love."

“More people should leave reviews!!! I love reviews!! shared a user.
