Millie Bobby Brown's Teen Bikini Photos 'Creepy' And 'Invasive'
By Evie Scott on June 28, 2024 at 12:00 PM EDT
Millie Bobby Brown may be making 2024 headlines for enjoying married life following her secret May wedding to fiance Jake Bongiovi, but it was a different story back in July 2022. Aged 18 at the time, the British actress was photographed enjoying a romantic getaway with then-boyfriend Jake, showing some skin in Sardinia and seemingly not getting much privacy. When photos of the Florence by Mills founder in her swimwear and cover-up were published by The Daily Mail, users were quick to slam the outlet for photographing a teenager in a bikini. In fact, some of the most popular replies deemed the whole thing "creepy" and "invasive."

Scroll for the photos. Relaxing on a cabana lounger in Sardinia, Millie appeared unaware that she was being photographed. The Stranger Things star, chilling out with model Jake, low-key highlighted her slender figure in an orange bikini and sleeveless cover-up, with photos also showing her eventually removing her slip dress to display her swimwear.
Lifting her striped beach dress up, Millie flashed hints of her curves in her triangle, halterneck bikini top, also showing off the tattoo she has on the right side of her torso.

Wearing very little makeup and with her hair tied back in a bun, Millie added in shades and hoop earrings, keeping classy, but still showing plenty of skin as one image showed the dress ridden up to reveal the star's thong briefs. Meanwhile, Jake wore a loud, flower-print shirt in blue and yellow, plus a dark pair of shorts.
While fans likely clicked on the headline, it didn't look like they were impressed by what they were seeing. "Can't the creepy paps just leave her alone? She's 18 years old and on holiday with her bf, let her enjoy herself without being so intrusive," one fan said as over 400 others agreed.

Another user had fans agreeing with a comment reading: "Very creepy intrusive pictures. She is only 18 years of age!" Using the exact same wording, a separate fan stated: "This is really intrusive and actually quite creepy to sneak around taking photos of a teenager."
Millie Bobby Brown is now 20 and she's just done one of the most adult things a person can do. In May, she and 22-year-old Jake secretly tied the knot, telling nobody, but confirming the news with a "WIFEY" shorts look while rocking a "Wife of the Party" baseball cap.
