14-year-old Millie Bobby Brown took to social media to defend her friendship with 31-year-old Drake after she revealed the two text with each other earlier this week.
The Stranger Things actress was asked about Drake on the Emmys red carpet, where she described him as “a great friend and a great role model” and said “We just texted each other the other day, and he was like, ‘I miss you so much,’ and I was like, ‘I miss you more.'”
She also said Drake gives her advice about boys.
Because of their age difference, many took to social media to criticize the inappropriateness of their friendship.

Imagine knowing you had a 14 year old daughter/niece/cousin/sister and she was ‘chatting’ to Drake on whatsapp or whatever…
Big 30+ dude…

Following the backlash, Millie blasted those who take issue with their relationship.
“Why you gotta make a lovely friendship ur headline? U guys are weird…for real,” Millie wrote. “I’m lucky to have people in the business extend their time to help me further my career and offer their wisdom and guidance. I’m very blessed to have amazing people in my life.”
She continued, “U don’t get to choose that for me. It’s nice to have people understand what I do. Now get back to talking about real problems in this world other than my friendships… jeez.”
