Her Facebook and Instagram pages remain active as well. Ironically, Brown's secondary Twitter account, which was designed to be a place to share positivity and end cyberbullying, is still active. It's pride month hoping to hit a few fa****s today."Ī similar image of her was captioned, "just ran over a homo xoxo beep beep b****."Īnother photograph showed the star simply posing with a cup of coffee with a doctored caption reading: "Just bought myself a piping hot coffee to throw on a fa****." In one image of the star sitting in a car, a caption was doctored to read: "Just got this car.
Online trolls have been taking various selfies and media she posted on the account and photoshopping them with crude and homophobic captions designed to make the star, who is pro-LGBTQ, seem to be violently against homosexuality.Īs Vanity Fair notes, the star wore a pin to the MTV Movie and TV Awards this year to support the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation's "Together" movement.
According to TheWrap, the tag first appeared in November but resurfaced in June to coincide with Pride Month, reports. “You could genuinely cause so much damage to her reputation and it’s weird as f**k.”Īnother fan wrote that “yall evil as f**k for ruining millie bobby brown like this shes a literal angel and her career could end cause of some dumbasses who think using violent homophobic memes with a minor is funny.The 14-year-old star deleted her account after the hashtag "#TakeDownMillieBobbyBrown" gained momentum. They continue: “She is a f**king child and you are cracking jokes about her hating gay people and wanting to kill them when she hasn’t done anything wrong?

Ironically, it appears her last post was a quote-tweet of the Being Me Campaign, an anti-bullying group. The star had 2.28 million followers before she deactivated the account. Why would I be scared of a faggot?” Terrible (godcyruss/twitter) Posted by someone who called the original Snap – not this one – a “photoshop” (psychosociaal/twitter)Īnd another obviously doctored image says: “I hate the word homophobia. One tweet, for instance, shows a Snapchat post by the actor with “just ran over a faggot cant wait to kill all these gays off” photoshopped over it. Many of the posts attribute obviously false quotes like “We don’t need gun control, we need faggot patrol” to the British star.

This has not stopped the damaging meme from spreading, however, with one popular tweet posted on May 12 saying “Millie bobby brown arriving at pride” above a video of someone driving a car into several protesters. Many have pointed out that Brown, who was one of the first recipients of MTV’s gender-neutral awards last year, has long been a vocal supporter of LGBT rights.
