“I love Millie Bobby Brown, but that’s not the pretty story you think it is. We should never surprise anyone during a fight or an intimate scene. She didn’t ask for his consent to kiss him. And if your partner reacts in surprise after you kiss them, that means the communication wasn’t what it was supposed to be,” Jessica said in a video she posted on TikTok.
