'Stranger Things' Barb defends Finn Wolfhard with a few, very real tweets
Justice for Barb was so 2016—now, it's all about justice from Barb.
Stranger Things actress Shannon Purser (who played Season 1's Barb, the breakout character with a cult-like following) came to the defense of co-star Finn Wolfhard on Saturday afternoon after fans of Wolfhard circulated a video of themselves waiting outside the 14-year-old's hotel.
Wolfhard did not stop to say hi to the Stranger Things stans when he entered and exited the hotel, which resulted in them tweeting about how he was "heartless." Purser jumped straight to his defense in a Twitter thread, rationalizing his actions by sharing her own experiences and delivering some piping hot knowledge to his fans.
"Okay, no," she started. "No actor is under any obligation to stop for anyone. Finn is an incredibly kind human. But he's human and needs breaks too."

"I experience this on a significantly smaller scale, obviously, but I've had people waiting for me in hotel lobbies, at my airport gate, etc.," she tweeted, explaining that as an adult, she "can't imagine being inundated with all this attention at his age."

"They give you their art. They love their fans," she continued. "Don't take advantage of that. And if you can't handle them needing space, stay away."
