Emmy nominee slammed for 'ungrateful' comments about the show that made her a star

Millie Bobby Brown is counting down the days until "Stranger Things" ends, and her attitude is upsetting fans.

The 19-year-old actress has portrayed Eleven on the Netflix series for seven years but recently told Glamour that she's ready to move on in order to focus on things she's actually "passionate about." The implication is that she isn't passionate about the sci-fi series, which keeps her from taking on other projects. 

Soon after the Glamour interview hit the Internet, "Stranger Things" fans took to social media to blast the former child star.

In a new interview with Glamour, Millie Bobby Brown said that "Stranger Things" limited her creativity. She also compared the final season to graduating from high school.

"When you're ready, you're like, 'All right, let's do this. Let's tackle this last senior year. Let's get out of here,'" she said. "'Stranger Things' takes up a lot of time to film and it's preventing me from creating stories that I'm passionate about. So I'm ready to say, 'Thank you, and goodbye.'"

It wasn't the first time that Millie Bobby Brown has expressed her desire for "Stranger Things" to end.

In March, she told Seventeen, "I'm definitely ready to wrap up. I feel like there's a lot of the story that's been told now, and we know of it, it's been in our lives for a very long time. But I'm very ready to say goodbye to this chapter of my life and open new ones up. I'm able to create stories myself that are important to me and focus on the bigger picture. But I'm really grateful [for the show]."

Many fans perceived Millie Bobby Brown's comments as extremely ungrateful.

"Imagine being this ungrateful to the role that gave you fame and pays you millions," one person wrote on X.

"How about be grateful for the thing that gave you the life you enjoy today," another fan wrote.

"A third critic penned, ""She has the right to feel that way. However, it's stupid to put your employer on blast publicly for – checks notes – having to work," agreed a third critic.
