'Accent-Gate' No More! Millie Bobby Brown Hilariously Explains Why Her Accent Keeps Changing (and Shuts Down Critics)

Okay let's talk about this "accent-gate" thing. Apparently some people online are having a lot to say about Millie's accent sounding British sometimes and American other times. Well Millie went on the SmartLess podcast and set the record straight in the funniest way.

She calls it "The Accent Gate" which is already pretty great right? She explained it is "so frustrating" that everyone is making a big deal about it. Her reason? Simple: "Guys I'm married to an American!" Her hubby Jake Bongiovi is American and she spends a ton of time with his American family. So naturally her accent shifts a bit.

Millie broke it down like this when she is around Jake's family she slips into an American accent automatically. But then when she goes back home to England and hears her parents' British accents she goes right back to sounding super British. It's like code-switching but with accents. She even joked that it's part of being an actor. "You want me to play these characters but you expect me not to morph into people? What I hear is what I do. It's all part of it." Mic drop Millie Mic drop.

It is not just her accent Millie is having to defend. Sadly some corners of the internet have also been criticizing her appearance saying she looks older than her age and all sorts of other nonsense. But guess what? Millie is not letting that slide either.

She took to Instagram to post a Powerful Video addressing the "negativity online regarding her appearance". She straight up called out articles "dissecting my face my body my choices" as "bullying". And she is right it is. Millie pointed out the double standard that women face especially young women in the public eye. "I grew up in front of the world and for some reason people can’t seem to grow up with me. Instead they act like I’m supposed to stay frozen in time like I should still look the way I did on Stranger Things season one." She is so on point.

Millie's message is clear and strong: "I refuse to apologize for growing up. I refuse to make myself smaller to fit the unrealistic expectations of people who can’t handle seeing a girl become a woman. I will not be shamed for how I look how I dress or how I present myself. Let’s do better." Boom. That's how you use your platform to speak truth and inspire others. Fans and fellow celebs are all applauding Millie for her courage and her spot-on message.
