Criticisms of Millie Bobby Brown
The kiss between Millie Bobby Brown and Louis Partridge in Enola Holmes 2 provoked some backlash. In the second chapter of the film saga Netflix starring the sister of Sherlock Holmes a kiss takes place between the latter and Tewkesbury, the young noble played by Partridge. During an interview released a few weeks ago, the star of Stranger Things he had told how the couple’s first kiss scene came about. “When we were shooting the first kiss scene I had to punch him. And since Louis is a good friend, I kept punching him. You know, I wasn’t pretending. I was really hurting him. And finally he was like, ‘Millie, can you pretend to punch me?’ I was hitting him right in the stomach. That was a lot of fun for me – said Brown – even on the set of Stranger Things, with the boys, I would do the same thing because they are my friends, the people I grew up with“.

However, the intimacy coordinator did not like these words Jessica Steinrock which, through his profile TikTok, has moved some criticisms against the actress. “Oh no, I love Millie Bobby Brown, but this isn’t the cute story you think – he made his debut in the video that you can see above and in which he takes up the words of the actress – I’m sure she and her scene partner have built up a great relationship and trust, but we should never surprise anyone during a fight or intimate scene“.
“Ultimately, that means she didn’t ask for consent to kiss him – has explained – And when your scene partner reacts with surprise after you kiss him, it means the communication didn’t happen the way it was supposed to.“.

“Little things like this can escalate over time, and frankly she has more power than him in this situation because she’s such a well-known star. When we make spicy scenes, we like to keep it light, have fun, but consent is mandatory“Added Steinrock. “For the record, I loved Enola Holmes 2, but next time we have to ask for consent“, concluded the intimacy coordinator.
