Millie Bobby Brown defends ‘You’ main character, says “he’s not creepy”

Stranger ThingsMillie Bobby Brown has come to the defense of Penn Badgley’s character, Joe Goldberg on Netflix’s latest show, You. Brown recently took to Instagram to share her surprisingly positive thoughts on the show’s main character.

The character is meant to take on qualities of an obsessive stalker. While Badgley’s character does seem to have kind-hearted moments, his true nature is nothing short of sinister and deadly.

However, many people on social media are construing Badgley’s character as just an “intense lover.” One of the people who argue Goldberg’s defense includes Brown, who is a talented, yet still young, impressionable actress.

“So I just started that new show You; He’s not creepy, he’s in love with her and it’s okay,” Brown says in a since-deleted Instagram story. “I’m obsessed with it, I’m binge-watching it. Absolute banger, Netflix.”

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

However, Brown is not the only person who has undermined Joe Goldberg’s demeanor. In fact, Bagdley himself had to remind many people that Joe is not “the good guy.”
