Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour appeared together at the Stranger Things Season 5 world premiere in Los Angeles amid recent reports of an on-set bullying complaint.
Despite claims that Brown filed a harassment complaint against Harbour, the actors smiled, laughed, and shared a hug on the red carpet, projecting a united front. The reunion was highlighted on both Netflix’s and Stranger Things' official Instagram accounts, featuring the pair joking and greeting fans.
According to The Daily Mail, 21-year-old Brown submitted a complaint before the final season's filming began, accusing Harbour, 50, who plays Jim Hopper, of bullying and harassment on set. The complaint reportedly contained extensive accusations and led to an investigation lasting several months.
No allegations of sexual misconduct were made, but Brown was accompanied by a representative during production as a precaution. So far, neither actors nor Netflix have publicly addressed the claims.
Brown and Harbour have worked closely since the show began filming in 2015, when Brown was 11 years old. They have previously discussed the emotional depth of their on-screen relationship, which now faces new scrutiny due to these allegations.
"Pages and pages of accusations" and an investigation "went on for months."
Publicly, the pair’s polished appearance contrasts with the serious allegations behind the scenes, reflecting the complexities of maintaining professionalism amid controversy.
Summary: Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour’s public reunion at the Stranger Things premiere contrasts with serious bullying allegations by Brown, revealing the complicated dynamics behind their long-standing working relationship.
