Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown (@Milliebbrown) left Twitter on Wednesday. We don’t know why, exactly, as the 14-year-old actress has yet to comment on it. But her departure follows months of seemingly ironic Twitter jokes about Brown being homophobic, Islamophobic, and a bully.
The jokes were part of a meme using the hashtag #TakeDownMillieBobbyBrown. It surfaced last year when a Twitter user wrote: “I saw Millie Bobby Brown in the airport and asked for a pic and she said ‘only if you remove the hijab’ and I said its my faith and she aggressively pulled it off my head and stamped on it.”
