Considering that Brown has long been a target of criticism regarding her appearance, attire, and even debates about her 'looking older than her age', comments about her body were the last straw that broke the camel's back.
After photos were shared from a gala, certain expressions used by some social media users about Brown's body drew backlash within minutes.
According to a report by the Mail on Sunday, the 21-year-old actor lodged an official complaint against her co-star David Harbour, who plays Jim Hopper, a father figure to her character in the series, alleging 'bullying and harassment.' It emerged that Brown submitted a petition containing 'pages' of testimony, which led to a months-long investigation.
While Netflix declined to comment on the allegations, sources suggested that Brown was on set with her lawyer during the filming of the final season. On Harbour's side, there are rumors that his ex-wife Lily Allen supported the actor during this process. The fact that the final season of the series is set to be released in three parts on November 26, December 25, and December 31, further fueled these allegations.
The young actress became a target not only because of her age-inappropriate attire, but also due to her revealing neckline.
Following the release of photos from the event, some social media users' comments about Brown's chest quickly came under fire. Numerous users expressed their dismay, particularly stating that people have become surprised by the natural female body due to the constant imposition of filtered, surgically enhanced body images on young female actresses.
