“He’s not creepy, he’s just&#8230;” &#8211; Why Millie Bobby Brown Defended You’s Joe Goldberg for “Stalking”

Apart from being two of the most watched shows on Netflix, there is something
else that connects Stranger Things
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/] and You
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/you/]. And it is the love Millie Bobby Brown
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/millie-bobby-brown/] has for the series. Back in
2019, when Stranger Things had dropped its third season and Brown had already
attained unprecedented fame, the young actress shared a hot take about the
protagonist of Netflix’s You.

Considering how it is a fictional series, Netflix took things up a notch. While
most identified the problems in the protagonist, some like a fifteen-year-old
Millie Bobby Brown at that time could not.


HOW DID MILLIE BOBBY BROWN DEFEND JOE GOLDBERG?

When you step foot into the twisted world of Joe Goldberg in Netflix’s You,
nothing seems out of the ordinary. That is until a woman catches his eye, and
any semblance of morality leaves his body. This is why fans were left
disappointed when Millie Bobby Brown justified his actions. “He’s not creepy,
he’s in love with her and it’s okay...” Brown wrote on her Instagram story as
reported by Teen Vogue
[https://www.teenvogue.com/story/millie-bobby-brown-voices-problematic-thoughts-on-netflixs-you].

Brown further wrote, “By the way, I know everybody is gonna say ‘Ahhh, he’s a
stalker, why would you support that?!’ But like, he’s in love with her… just
watch the show and don’t judge me on my opinion.”

The protagonist of the series starts by stalking and proceeds to gaslight,
kidnap, and murder all the while quoting revered authors. Therefore, fans could
not heed the Stranger Things actress’ demands and schooled her about how wrong
she was.


HOW BROWN DISAPPOINTED HER ENOLA HOLMES CHARACTER IN 2019

The lack of awareness on Brown’s part disappointed fans when they saw the story.
But it would have completely shattered Brown’s very own character Enola Holmes
had she known of this ordeal. Brown first played the young detective in 2020,
precisely a year before she justified Joe Goldberg’s psychopathic behavior.

While Brown did not hesitate in justifying Goldberg’s actions, fans of the
actress cannot bring themselves to support her opinion. However, it is to be
noted that she was only fifteen when she made those statements.

Meet Aliza Siddiqui, a Hollywood News reporter at Netflix Junkie. Her love affair with Hollywood began with Anne Hathaway and The Princess Diaries, but it was the thrilling climax of Don’t Look Up that cemented her infatuation with the industry and its filmmaking. Aliza's journey into entertainment reporting began with her time at Otakukart, where she wrote over a thousand articles. Her writing style is cheeky and engaging, as seen in her report "Somewhat Alarmed," where she narrates Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious story of how Jason Bateman tricked him into gecko-sitting. Aliza's ultimate dream is to study and critique films that capture her imagination and the attention of movie-goers worldwide. When she is not busy binge-watching Sacha Baron Cohen movies and The Office, she loves to curl up with a weathered copy of a Khaled Hosseini or Indu Sundaresan book.
