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.

    • Agreed. From what I’ve read, they had no problem almost ruining the family financially to make her famous– and they have other children, to boot. I hope someone is taking her money and keeping it far away from the hands of mom and dad.

    No, it’s not reasonable. This young lady is a great actress but her father is going to ruin her career!

    “Strangely enough”

    I mean it’s at the restaurants discretion I believe.

  15. Millie Bobby Brown

    Clues: Straner Things just was renewed for season 2, “strangely enough”…Stranger things

    Mouth breather

  17. Millie Bobby Brown

    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.

  20. Actress: Millie Bobby Brown
    TV Series: Stranger things
    Clues: bugging, strangely enough.

    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 🙁

  23. Never seen this show, but….

    Millie Bobby Brown
    Stranger Things

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

  25. Millie Bobbie Brown
    Stranger Things
    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. 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.

  29. Millie Bobby Brown
    Stranger Things
    Clues: strangely enough, one particular thing, the show has been picked up for another season

  30. 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. 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. 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.

  34. This is that awful parent of that kid in Stranger Things.
    He needs to reign it in, or he is going to cost his child some opportunities in the future.

  36. 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. . .

  39. 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? Greedy!

  40. Millie Bobby Brown

    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

  49. Actress: Millie Bobby Brown

    Tv Series: Stranger Things

    Clues: “one particular thing”
    “strangely enough”

    [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.

  50. 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.

  52. 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.

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

  56. 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…

  57. 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 🙁

  58. Millie Bobby Brown
    Stranger Things

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

  61. Millie Bobby Brown
    Stranger Things
    Clues: Strangely, ?

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

  62. 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.

  66. 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.

  68. 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.

  70. Millie Bobby Brown
    Stranger Things
    it was announced that the show will get a second season & “strangely” = stranger things

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

  72. Millie Bobby Brown
    Stranger Things
    Clues: Strangely, bugging.
    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. Actress: The little girl with the name “Eleven”

    TV Series: “Stranger Things”

    Clues: “Strangely enough…”

    Optional: Here comes a case of Hollywood Dads Strike Again (ugh!)

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

  76. 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!

  77. Actress: Millie Bobby Brown

    TV Series: Stranger Things

    Clues: One particular thing, strangely enough

  80. 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.

  81. 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…

  83. 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.

  84. Millie Bobbie Brown from Stranger Things???

    Very greedy of the dad to do that…….

    Strangely enough…. Stranger Things….:)

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

  88. 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!

  91. Millie Bobby Brown of Stranger Things.

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

  92. 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.

  93. 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. 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. 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. 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
