**Millie Bobby Brown Dragged for ‘Forgetting How to Be a Normal Person’ in New Video; Fans Ask if She’s Actually a Human-Style AI Now**
Look, I get it. If I had millions of dollars before I could legally buy a beer, I’d probably forget how to microwave a Hot Pocket too. But Millie Bobby Brown is catching some serious heat on the internet today, and honestly? The AITA verdict on this one is a little more complicated than a simple “YTA” or “NTA.”
The 20-year-old *Stranger Things* star and part-time skincare mogul posted a video yesterday that has the internet’s collective eyebrows raised so high they’re practically orbiting the Earth. The clip, which was supposed to be a fun, behind-the-scenes look at her day, quickly devolved into a masterclass of “out-of-touch billionaire energy” that made even the most delusional influencers clutch their Stanley cups in horror.
In the video, Millie is casually showing off her morning routine. But instead of, you know, making coffee like a normal human, she’s got a personal aesthetician doing her skincare while a chef prepares a gluten-free, dairy-free, taste-free breakfast that probably costs more than my rent. She then complains that her “schedule is just so packed” because she has to “fly to London for a meeting” and then “hop over to Paris for a fitting.”
Cool, cool. Tell me more about your exhausting life while I’m sitting here in my pajamas at 2 PM, trying to figure out if that leftover pizza is still safe to eat (it’s fine, it’s always fine).
The internet, being the absolute cesspool of joy and judgment that it is, did what it does best: it roasted her. And not gently. We’re talking full-on, open-flame, rotisserie-style roasting.
“She’s literally forgetting how to be a normal person,” one Reddit user posted in the r/popculturechat subreddit. The thread currently has 4.7k upvotes and a comment section that reads like a therapy session for people who are tired of rich people pretending to be relatable.
Another user chimed in with the absolute zinger of the day: “At this point, I’m convinced she’s a prototype for an AI that was trained on a single season of ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians.’ The emotional range is there. The lack of self-awareness is impeccable.”
But here’s where it gets messy. Because while the internet is having a field day calling her “out of touch,” a small but vocal group of defenders are pointing out the obvious: she’s 20. She’s been working since she was a literal child. She’s worth a reported $14 million. What exactly are we expecting? That she’s going to be at the DMV waiting in line like the rest of us peasants?
Let’s be real for a second. If I had a personal chef, I would 100% forget how to make a sandwich. If I had an aesthetician, I’d probably forget which end of the toothpaste tube to squeeze. It’s a sliding scale of privilege. Millie Bobby Brown is just sliding a little harder than most.
But the real kicker? The thing that has people genuinely asking “Is she okay?” isn’t the wealth porn. It’s the weirdly scripted, robotic delivery of the whole thing. She sounds like she’s reading lines from a Hallmark card written by her PR team. She’s smiling, but it’s that specific smile you make when a relative asks you about your career at Thanksgiving and you have to pretend you’re not secretly plotting your escape.
“It’s giving ‘I’m a billionaire who just discovered poverty exists and I think it’s a lifestyle choice,’” one TikTok commenter wrote, earning 200k likes.
The video has sparked a larger conversation about child stars and the inevitable “lost humanity” that comes with growing up in a gold-plated bubble. Millie started on *Stranger Things* at age 12. She’s spent her formative years on set, in trailers, and on red carpets. She’s never had a “normal” teenage job. She’s never had to deal with a Karen at the grocery store. She’s never had to wait for a bus in the rain while your phone battery is at 3%.
Is it her fault? No. Is it still weird to watch? Absolutely.
The whole thing feels like a modern-day *The Truman Show*, except instead of a hidden camera, it’s a perfectly curated IG story, and instead of Jim Carrey, it’s a girl who got famous for yelling about a Demogorgon.
So, what’s the verdict? Is Millie Bobby Brown the villain for being rich and having a good skincare routine? Or are we all just jealous that we have to use drugstore face wash while she’s getting slathered in $400 serums by someone named “Sven”?
Honestly, I’m leaning towards “we’re all just jealous and looking for something to be mad about.” But then again, I also think pineapple on pizza is a war crime, so maybe my judgment is flawed.
The real tragedy here isn’t that Millie forgot how to be normal. The real tragedy is that we all expect her to be. We want our celebrities to be accessible, relatable, and down-to-earth. But we also want them to be glamorous, successful, and interesting. Those two things are often mutually exclusive. You can’t have a billionaire who acts like your broke friend from college. It doesn’t work that way.
Unless that billionaire is Keanu Reeves. He’s the exception that proves the rule. But let’s be honest, Millie Bobby Brown is no Keanu Reeves. She’s a 20-year-old who probably has a panic attack if she has to buy her own toilet paper now.
So go ahead, internet. Keep roasting her. Keep making the memes. Keep asking if she’s actually an AI designed by Netflix to sell us more skincare products. (Honestly, that would explain
Final Thoughts
Having watched Millie Bobby Brown navigate the treacherous waters of child stardom with a preternatural savvy, it’s hard not to see her latest chapter as a masterclass in controlled deconstruction. She’s leveraging her immense platform not just to sell a brand, but to actively rewrite the script of her own narrative—moving from the iconic subject of a global phenomenon to the architect of her own commercial and creative empire. The real story here isn’t about a girl who grew up on screen; it’s about a young woman who calculated her exit from the spotlight before the spotlight could ever decide it was done with her.
