Millie Bobby Brown finally addresses all the controversy surrounding her husband and baby.
ICYMI, fans have been concerned about what Millie’s husband is like for a while now Jake Bongiovi is often seen next to her on outings and not helping with their daughter. There have been several cases where the Stranger things An actress has been spotted carrying all the bags or pushing the stroller, with Jake seemingly not doing much to help.
One example even involved Millie becoming overwhelmed and snapping at paparazzi (rightly so). But when Jake didn’t step in to defend his baby mama, fans went so far to tell her to divorce him!
But what does the 22-year-old think of that? Well, she got really excited Kylie Kelce‘S I’m not gonna lie podcast Wednesday, and wrap it all up:
“Hi, I’m Millie Bobbie Brown and I’m not going to lie. When are women going to stop being able to hold their own bags, car seats and the like? This is because I’m holding all my suitcases and bags and my child and people are saying, ‘Your husband isn’t holding anything.'”
She went on to explain that her reason for Jake not helping is because she is “miles ahead, I’ve been planning this all night.” She continued:
“We’re all about empowering girls and, ‘You got it’ and ‘You don’t need a man.’ But when I say, ‘Okay, I can carry my own stuff,’ people say, ‘Where’s your husband?’
Millie also took a moment to adore her husband, saying about Jake:
“I can also do it alone. No one knows my husband. My husband is the most polite, sweet, who wants to do everything for me. But he also knows that I am capable.”

Logically! And of course you know Kylie had to agree! She said, referring to her own marriage to Jason Kelce:
“I love this. The amount of times people come up to me and say, ‘Do you need help with that bag?’ and I said, ‘Hey guys, I really appreciate it, but if I needed help, I would ask for it.’ The first person I ask – you guessed it – my husband. Thank you.”
The 34-year-old added:
“I want there to be some level of civility and consideration for your wife and whatever, but at the same time don’t pretend to be broken or graceful.”
Millie REALLY seemed to resonate with this and reiterated:
“I’m not broken!”

There were many different reactions in the comments. Some fans loved that Millie stood her ground and addressed this:
“People need to leave Millie and her husband alone!!! She does a lot of humanitarian work but all people want to talk about is her husband!!! Leave her alone!!! She is an independent woman and we need to treat her like one!!!”
“I absolutely love that she tackled this!”
“Don’t just boss me around, you know? Lead me, for example. Lead me when I’m in the mood… to be led!”
“The number of women who say Millie is wrong is crazy. She’s entitled to her view of things. Just because you disagree doesn’t mean she’s wrong.”
“Yes, women can do their chores on their own too! Millie said it all!”
“I have the same thing, so I completely understand. My husband is always there, but I tell him, “I have this!” and he leaves me alone. He does so much for me, but he also knows that I can do my own thing.”
But others were still not convinced! They wrote:
“I understand the sentiment, but there is a difference between chivalry and co-parenting.”
“If you have an equal partner, he has to DO SOMETHING!”
“I love this for her, but at the same time I think you’re making your husband lazy. I can carry my own stuff, but I love it when my husband does it for me without me even asking”
“It’s not even about gender. If one person wears all the stuff and the other wears none, it shows that he or she is just too self-centered and lazy. It should be 50/50 or close to it in relationships or friendships for ALL genders.”
“It’s almost like she’s missing the point… this isn’t the flex she thinks it is. Power isn’t doing everything yourself, it’s letting people help so you don’t have to do it all yourself.”
“It’s not really about chivalry when people see you carrying all the bags and asking where your husband is. It’s more about him seeing you carrying everything and not getting up to help. As far as I know, that includes his daughter.”
