Stranger Thingsactress 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 Thingsstans 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.
