The interaction has been spoken about widely on social media, including a Reddit thread with a ton of people offering a wide range of opinions.

"Man i hate red carpets. Why is everyone yelling. Why is that normal," one person asked, while a second noted: "I love Millie so much! She is gorgeous and cool!"

Meanwhile, another Reddit user said they were 'proud' of Bobby Brown for her reaction.

Earlier this month, a report in The Daily Mail claimed that before filming began for the final season of hit Netflix series began, Brown had filed 'pages and pages of accusations' of bullying against her co-star, David Harbour.

According to the outlet's exclusive report, there were several pages of accusations made against Harbour by the 21-year-old actress, with it being claimed she always had a personal representative on set as a result of the investigation.

Bobby Brown seemed to dismiss the speculation in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, however, as she said: "I’ve obviously had a really special bond with David because we have a father and daughter relationship, and we do every scene together. You really get to see that in season five.

“It’s been so special to have him along the journey for me. Winona, the kids. I’m really honoured to have played Eleven and have to met such amazing people along the way.”

Furthermore, Stranger Things' co-creator Ross Duffer spoke to The Hollywood Reporter, where he was dismissive of the 'noise' around the show ahead of the release of season five.
