What to Know
The third Enola Holmes movie has hit Netflix, and the stars have been busy promoting the newest flick of their franchise. One of the interviews between Millie Bobby Brown and her costar, Louis Partridge, didn’t end up being received quite the way they probably thought it would, and now that the clip is going viral, people are defending the former Stranger Things star.
It all started with an innocent conversation about the song of the summer — whatever it might be.

While talking to PopSugar, Louis and Millie were trying to figure out what the song of the summer would be this year — a hotly contested debate no matter who’s having the conversation.
Millie’s answer seemed to come to her pretty easily: Midnight Sun by Zara Larsson. But Louis had never heard of the song, and she took that opportunity to mock him, saying in a deep voice, “I was thinking something by Debussy.”
After she was done teasing him, Louis teased her right back when he failed to come up with an idea of a song on his own. “I was thinking something of something poppy for you to get your head around,” he said.
It seems like they were just teasing each other, but some people believe there was more to read into their exchange than just a light moment between friends.
People are calling Louis’ comment ‘misogynistic.’
“I’m trying to think of something poppy for you to get your head around” there’s misogyny everywhere for those with eyes to see https://t.co/8krRyYX1Sd

A lot of fans shared on social media that Louis is insinuating that Millie could only be into pop music because she’s a girl, and therefore her music taste isn’t as sophisticated as his supposedly is, with one person also describing him as “alarmingly pretentious.”
“He’s very classist, she picks up on it and mocks his accent and he retaliates by doubling down,” one person wrote. “Very unpleasant guy.”
Another person posted on X, “Why is he talking like a teenage boy who just hit puberty and hates everyone?”
Others think he might have been throwing shade at an ex-girlfriend.
After dating for almost two years, Louis and Olivia Rodrigo went their separate ways, and since Olivia’s latest album, You Seem Pretty Sad For a Girl So in Love, is speculated to be heavily influenced by their relationship, some people believe pop has left a bad taste in his mouth.
“Perhaps I’m giving him a bit too much grace but is he not acting this way bc he recently broke up with a pop star who released a summer album and is thereby wary of whatever he says being used against him by her fanbase?” one person asked.
That could be it, too… but either way, like whatever music you like. Life is too short to pretend that pop music isn’t fun!
