In an interview with famous TikToker Max Balegde, Millie Bobby Brown finally opened up about her views on these comments.
The Damsel star began by saying, "I'm an actor." Further explaining her side, "I grew up in the public eye. I grew up in America. I come to set, and I'm an actor, and I adapt, and so I want to mimic other people!"
Brown further described how people around her, including Jake Bongiovi, her husband-to-be, and Jon Bon Jovi's son, affect her voice and accent, stating, "I can't help that when I'm around my fiancé, or when I'm with people like Jimmy Fallon who have a very American accent, I wanna replicate it!"
The 20-year-old actress further stated, "And now I'm in England, I wanna replicate that [accent]! I don't do it intentional, and I'm sorry if it offends you, okay? But listen, I'm trying my best! I'm trying my best."
