On November 14, 2025, Millie Bobby Brown, the lead actress of the hit Netflix series Stranger Things, made headlines for standing up to photographers who demanded she smile at a special screening event in London. As Brown posed on the red carpet, one photographer yelled "Smile!" to which she quickly retorted "Smile? You smile!" before leaving the event with evident displeasure.
This incident comes just a week after Brown and her co-star David Harbour reunited at a premiere event, following reports of alleged bullying and harassment on the Stranger Things set prior to the show's final season. Notably, Harbour was not in attendance at the London screening.

The young actress has emphasized the need to address the issue of paparazzi harassment, particularly towards young stars new to the industry.
