Photo: Karwai Tang/WireImage Millie Bobby Brown may be a legal adult, but that doesn’t mean she’s willing to be sexualized by fans or Hollywood. During an appearance on the Guilty Feminist podcast, the Stranger Things actor described a shift she’s felt in terms of how the press and fans on social media were sexualizing her since she turned 18 in February.
