Millie Bobby Brown is setting the record straight after she was accused of actively losing her British accent in favor of sounding 'more American.'

The Stranger Things star, 20, raised eyebrows last week while appearing on The Tonight Show as fans called her out for speaking 'differently' during her interview with host Jimmy Fallon.

She addressed the backlash on TikTok as she explained how growing up in both the UK and the United States has influenced her accent over the years.

Brown was born in Spain and spent part of her childhood in Bournemouth, England and Orlando, Florida before settling down in Atlanta, Georgia.
