‘Stranger Things’ Star Millie Bobby Brown Leaves Twitter After She Becomes Subject of Homophobic Memes

Breakout star Millie Bobby Brown, mostly known for her character “Eleven” in the hit Netflix series Stranger Things left Twitter. The actress was the subject of homophobic gay tweets, causing her to leave millions of her followers. The inappropriate tweets that picked up steam on the social media platform started around November of last year and resurfaced once more this month—concurrently when Pride Month is celebrated.
