Millie Bobby Brown, known for her role as Eleven/Jane Hopper on the Netflix series Stranger Things, filed an extensive harassment and bullying complaint against fellow cast member David Harbour before filming of the show’s fifth season began. The allegations reportedly span multiple pages and prompted a months-long internal investigation, according to a source familiar with the situation.
Investigation into Allegations and Responses
The British newspaper Daily Mail exclusively revealed the complaint on Saturday, noting the inquiry into Harbour’s behavior covered several months. A person close to the matter explained,
“Millie Bobby Brown filed a harassment and bullying claim before they started shooting the last season. There were pages and pages of accusations. The investigation went on for months.”
Despite the gravity of the claims, no sexual misconduct accusations were made against Harbour. Neither Netflix, the show’s co-creators Matt and Ross Duffer, nor representatives for Harbour and Brown have provided comments on the matter.
Context Surrounding the Allegations and Upcoming Season Release
This news emerged shortly after Harbour’s ex-wife, singer Lily Allen, released an album titled West End Girl, which hints at infidelity and boundary violations during their marriage. A source told the Daily Mail that Allen, though distressed,
“steadfastly supported her husband throughout the ‘brutal’ ordeal.”
Meanwhile, Harbour and Brown continue preparing with the cast for the much-anticipated release of the final season, scheduled for November 26 in the United States.
Potential Impact on Stranger Things and Its Cast
The timing of these accusations raises concerns about the atmosphere on set and the effect on the series’ conclusion. As the investigation’s outcome remains undisclosed, fans and industry observers are left uncertain about possible repercussions for Harbour, as well as how the series creators will address the situation privately. The release of the fifth season will mark a critical moment for the entire cast and crew, shaping the legacy of a beloved show amid troubling claims.
