Earlier this month, Brown revealed that she was forced to skip a Dec. 15 appearance on *Good Morning America* with her *Stranger Things* costar Noah Schnapp due to an unexpected injury. **

"I'm really sorry I couldn't be there with you guys," Brown said in a pre-recorded message that aired during Schnapp’s interview. **

Panning the camera down to reveal her left arm in a sling, Brown continued, “I took a fall. I wanted to still participate in any way I could, because you know me, Noah, I have to make it about me."
