Millie Bobby Brown Finally Tells The Truth About ‘Friendship’ With David Harbour Amid Bullying Reports

Millie Bobby Brown has spoken up about her relationship with David Harbour.

The actress spoke lovingly about her relationship with her on-screen father figure, noting that they have always remained united no matter what. 

Brown and Harbour’s relationship was rumored to be on shaky ground following reports that the British actress filed a harassment and bullying claim against the 50-year-old actor. 

Following the premiere of the final season of “Stranger Things,” Brown had a candid conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, where she opened up about the dynamics between her and Harbour. 

The 21-year-old actress was asked to shed light on the importance of maintaining a united front against the accusations and rumors circulating about the show’s cast.

She emphasized that the cast of the show has always been united, noting that the actors and actresses have always prioritized their bond above everything else. 

"We've been doing that for the last 10 years. I mean, we have always been united in that. We love this show with everything, and we value our friendship more than anything," she said.

As for her thoughts on reuniting with Harbour, Brown described the experience as "so nice," adding that it was "really exciting" to "come back together."

Like Brown, the Duffer Brothers also stressed the importance of being united as a cast. 

During the L.A. premiere of “Stranger Things,” they were asked to address the alleged bullying and harassment claims from their cast members. Ross Duffer revealed that while he is not at liberty to divulge details, the cast members remain closely knit and have become like family.

“Obviously, you understand I can’t get into personal on-set matters, but I will say we’ve been doing this for 10 years with this cast, and at this point they’re family, and we deeply care about them. So, you know, nothing matters more than just having a set where everyone feels safe and happy,” he said. 

Similarly, the show’s director and executive producer, Shawn Levy, revealed that the show has always prioritized creating a safe work environment for its cast members. 

“You have to create a respectful workplace where everyone feels comfortable and safe, and so we did everything to build that environment. And we’re proud of the fact that we did so,” he said. 

He also recalled reading “wildly inaccurate” stories about the situation and emphasized that the crew and cast have always been treated with nothing but respect. 

A few weeks before Brown addressed the bullying claims, she and Harbour attended the “Stranger Things” premiere in L.A. as a united front on the red carpet.

The actress donned a stylish black dress for the occasion, while Harbour opted for a striped suit, as reported by The Blast.

Despite the rumors surrounding their relationship, the two didn’t appear to be at odds with each other and even hugged, laughed, and posed for pictures on the red carpet. 

Furthermore, Netflix shared a video of the heartwarming moment with the caption, “David Harbour and Millie Bobby Brown arrive together for one last Stranger Things premiere.”

Brown and Harbour’s heartwarming red carpet moment came on the heels of explosive reports that claimed the latter had harassed and bullied the former before filming the show's final season. 

According to The Blast, a source revealed that there were “pages and pages of accusations” against Harbour. As such, Netflix reportedly launched an internal investigation into the matter.

Although the exact nature of the allegations was not revealed, the report noted that there was no mention of sexual misconduct. 

Despite the rumors of harassment claims within the cast of “Stranger Things,” the show was successfully filmed and premiered.

However, during the London premiere, Brown had an unpleasant exchange with a photographer who asked her to smile, per The Blast.

Brown was captured posing in a sheer black number on the red carpet when one of the photographers shouted, “Smile!” This command sparked a negative reaction from the actress, who instantly replied, “Smile? You smile!” She then turned around and walked away, visibly irritated by the exchange. 

Several fans online reacted to the incident, with some defending Brown and others criticizing her. One fan wrote that the photographer was “rude,” and defended the actress, writing that she was probably exhausted from being a mother to a newborn.

On the other hand, another fan compared her to Chappell Roan, who has had unpleasant red carpet moments as well.
