The Enola Holmes star explained: "[The fan] said, 'Can I take a video of you?' I said, 'Um, no.' But why would anyone want to be taken a video of? Of me? It’s not like of the both of us."

Brown then adds: "It just makes me upset when people try to push the boundary, and I just wish people were more respectful.
"I don’t need to justify it to anyone. If I don’t want to be taken a video of, I don’t have to be."
