Do You Recognize My Daughter

[Blind Gossip] Parents of child actors sometimes try to take advantage of their child’s fame.

This family has a young girl on a successful TV series that just got picked up for another season. The family went to dinner. The father of the girl kept bugging the wait staff about one particular thing.

He was saying, “Do you recognize my daughter? Do you recognize my daughter? She’s the star of [TV series]! Don’t you recognize her?”

When one of the wait staff finally did recognize her… the father asked that the meal for the entire family get comped! Strangely enough, the management politely declined to pick up the tab.

    Her dad is a piece of work and I genuinely hope she can emancipate herself. She’s an amazing actress and I’d hate to see her become a Lohan.

    There is already a story about him demanding a $100K bonus before anything is even signed.
    My heart already goes out to her and her career hasn’t even begun yet 🙁

  24. PinkCrayon says

    Never seen this show, but….

    Millie Bobby Brown
    Stranger Things

    “Strangely enough” was the clue that stuck out to me.

    Her father has been trouting around making a fool of himself rather than having a professional handle his daughter’s career. Very sad.

    Clue : “Strangely enough, the management politely declined to pick up the tab.”

  28. SusieBoo says

    Millie Bobbie Brown, 11 from Stranger Things. Her father has already been a tool, charging managers to rep her. That poor girl. That poor family.

    Actress: Millie Bobbie Brown

    TV Series: Stranger Things

    Clues: “Strangely enough…”

    [Optional] Was it reasonable or greedy for the dad to ask the restaurant to comp their meal? It was definitely greedy! It’d be one thing if management recognized her and offered to comp their meals, but insisting on it isn’t very classy.

  31. pharmchick says

    Don’t know who but NO it was really rude of the dad. Unless the restaurant offers you should pay! And if they comp then you should at least tip! Us regular people can, why do those who have tons more money think they deserve everything for free?

  32. Helobar says

    I think this is the girl who plays Eleven in Stranger Things. ‘Strangely enough’ being a bit of a clue I think. I’ve just Googled and her name is Millie Bobby Brown. It’s unreasonable to ask for free stuff just because you, or your child is famous. Why would you even think it’s ok to ask?! If you want something, you pay for it, unless someone decides to do you a favour.

  35. MizGrandma says

    Poor child! No, asking the restaurant to comp the greedy stage father was not right. Hasn’t this father been called out for this type of behavior before? Don’t remember the name & it was a show I would never watch, but still. . .

    Stranger Things

    Clues “strangely enough”

    The kids is tv famous but not child star famous, the last big child star was Dakota Fanning, I can’t think of a single child that most people across generations would be able to name and I honesty think that Stranger Things is a one hit wonder that thrived off nostalgia and hype, Dad dearest needs to sit down

    [Optional] : This is a mess! her dad made the headlines a couple of times for being very difficult. It’s a shame because she is super talented /: I hope this doesn’t intefere in her career.

  49. shelaur22 says

    Millie Bobby Brown, Stranger Things. I adore this kid, it really sucks that her dad is like this. I hope he doesn’t ruin her or her career.

    Actress: Millie Bobby Brown (11)
    The show: Stranger Things.
    Clues: ‘thing’ and ‘strangely’
    Completely greedy. If the staff had offered to comp the meal without being prompted then fair enough, but he shouldn’t have asked.

  54. bubbasbbq says

    “I’m a dramatization of somebody important. Give me free stuff.”
    “I’m a dramatization of somebody who cares, here is your bill.”

  55. Shamrox says

    Millie Bobby Brown. Her dad is already known as a nightmare and her only big thing so far (I think) has been Stranger Things. Poor girl. Hopefully she gets away from him as quickly as possible.

    Hint: Stranger
    Optional: Greedy. You aren’t entitled to free things because you are an actor, despite what everyone seems to think. If you make an advertising agreement with a company/business fine, but that doesn’t mean you can ask for free things where you have no working relationship. How…

  56. Soni123 says

    So sad, but it has to be Millie Bobbi Brown. I’ve read her dad is using her name to get all sorts of free stuff and that she feels obligated to work in order to pay for her family’s expenses 🙁

  57. pattycakes says

    Millie Bobby Brown

    This father sounds like he’s going to be another Michael Lohan.

    Clues: Strangely, ?

    Poor kid. I’ve heard a few stories implying that her dad is an arse.

  61. Dolly Pardon Me says

    Poor Millie Bobby. Her dad is apparently a real piece of work. :/ Girl, maybe you need to pull up a Ouija board and have a chat with Jackie Coogan.

  65. maudlin22 says

    Sounds like Millie Bobby Brown from Stranger Things

    “Strangley enough…”

    Not at all reasonable, you can’t expect people to give you things just because your daughter is on a TV show. She seems like the coolest kid and she’s very talented, hope her dad doesn’t cause problems for her.

  67. scooby says

    The young girl from Stranger Things, Millie Bobby Brown.

    Clue: Strangely Enough

    It was greedy her parents especially her father are going to mess up her chance of a bigger Hollywood career.

  69. Jessi1994 says

    Millie Bobby Brown

    it was announced that the show will get a second season & “strangely” = stranger things

  70. 4sixx2 says

    Millie Bobby Brown’s dad is making quite an ugly name for himself. Clue: “Strangely” = Stranger Things

    This man is going to ruin her – nothing but terrible things have been said about him. I wonder if she’s aware of it, or how she feels about it?

  74. Poubelle says

    I’m afraid this is the father of Millie Bobby Brown from “Stranger Things” – I was so hoping she didn’t have “showbiz parents”…

  75. bhakti says

    That darling girl from Stranger Things with the horrible dad trying to make a payday off her. I have read the worst stories about him. That poor girl I hope she files for emancipation soon. She’s very talented and needs to get far away from dad!

  79. jolael says

    Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things)

    [Optional] Was it reasonable or greedy for the dad to ask the restaurant to comp their meal? GREEDY. The staff should not have to lose out because he wants to feel important. She is the star, not him.

  80. rcaraway says

    Actress: Millie Bobby Brown

    TV Series: Stranger Things

    Clues: “strangely enough”, bugging the wait staff,

    Optional: it is not reasonable at all. From what I have read, the parents are a real piece of work. They are banking (literally) on her success. Apparently the father was pushing for a ridiculous amount of up front money from the new agency that wanted to support her. I hope that this doesn’t rub off onto her. She seems like a great kid. She shouldn’t have to grow up…

  82. KellyNotRipa says

    Actress: Millie Bobby Brown

    TV Series: Stranger Things

    Clues: “strangely enough”

    [Optional] Was it reasonable or greedy for the dad to ask the restaurant to comp their meal? Greedy. Let’s hope we don’t have another Lindsay Lohan coming along because of crazy parents. These parents could very easily become controlling.

  83. CyndiTx123 says

    Millie Bobbie Brown from Stranger Things???

    Very greedy of the dad to do that…….

    Strangely enough…. Stranger Things….:)

  84. ScottishLass says

    Millie Bobby Brown from Stranger Things.
    And it’s greedy! She’s a brilliant actress but her father sounds awful.

  87. lexistential says

    This is Millie Bobby Brown, Eleven in Stranger Things. Her father is reputed to be aggressive in asking for fees and better watch it, because he might kill her chances to network and get more work.

    Clues: “Bugging”, the monster of Stranger Things!

  90. Amityvillain says

    Millie Bobby Brown of Stranger Things.

    Clues: Strangely, bugging (the weird bug thing Will coughed up)

  91. imamirandagirl says

    Actress: Millie Bobby Brown
    TV Show: Stranger Things

    Clues: ‘Strangely enough, the management politely declined to pick up the tab’

    The father has been in the news for demanding $100,000 up front when signing her.
    Just my guess.

  92. JenJenJen says

    No doubt this is Millie Bobby Brown from Stranger Things. Her Dad demanded a $100k sign on fee when they were looking for a new agent.

    Clues: “strangely enough”

  95. beautysleep says

    I’ve heard story after story about how insufferable Millie Bobbie Brown’s father is. It is a shame, too, because she is already a commanding actress at her tender age. She could have a Streep-worthy career if her pushy stage parents would cut it with the Lohan-starter kit shenanigans.

  97. thelasthigh says

    one of the girls on Stranfer Things

    it is very unreasonable, inappropriate, sad, and exploitative for the father to try to use his daughter in this way. what a loser

  99. elphie says

    why do people think they should be ‘comped’ because they are on tv… the staff could have just said they recognized her to shut the dad up
