Millie referred to the uproar as “accent gate,” expressing her irritation over the constant discussion regarding her speech patterns. She shared, “That was such a huge thing for a minute. Everyone seemed to have a real problem with it. I was like, ‘Guys, I’m married to an American.'”

The young actress, who is married to Jake Bongiovi, elaborated on how her accent fluctuates depending on her surroundings. “When I’m around his family, I immediately slip into an American accent. But then I was just in England, and as soon as I hear my parents’ accents, I switch right back.”

Brown emphasized that her ability to speak in different accents is an integral aspect of her craft as an actor. “You want me to portray these characters, yet you expect me not to adapt to different influences. What I hear is what I do,” she stated, underscoring the nature of her profession.

With her straightforward comments, Millie Bobby Brown is reminding fans and critics alike that accents are part of the diverse landscape of her life and career.
