Did Millie Bobby Brown say that being deported is not the end of the world, and that "there's a literal genocide in Gaza"? No, that's not true: The fake quote attributed to Brown originated from an account that frequently posts fake quotes attributed to celebrities. The account does not have any satire or parody disclaimer, but their content output provides a clear context that the posts are tongue-in-cheek. There is no real news reporting that she said it.
The fake quote appeared in a post (archived here) published on X by the account @centristpeater with the username "Will Stancil's 2011 Honda Fit's Blown Tranny" on Jan. 28, 2026. It was captioned:
Millie Bobby Brown explains that being deported is "not the end of the world," noting that "there's a literal genocide in Gaza."
Two photos (pictured below) were included with the post:

The account "Will Stancil's 2011 Honda Fit's Blown Tranny" does not have a parody account disclaimer despite the X authenticity disclosure policy (archived here). The user name of the account has been changed four times, most recently in Jan. 2026. It is currently satirically referring to the Honda Fit (car video here) driven by Will Stancil, the "internet-famous" (archived here) Minnesota lawyer and former candidate for Minnesota House of Representatives (archived here).
Millie Bobby Brown stars as "Eleven" in the Netflix series Stranger Things (archived here). A Google search (archived here) for "Millie Bobby Brown" AND "being deported is not the end of the world, there's a literal genocide in Gaza", did not produce any relevant results. There were only duplicate copies of the false social media post and old articles that did not mention deportation.
