Just weeks ahead of the release of Stranger Things Season 5 anticipated as one of Netflix’s biggest events, a serious behind-the-scenes issue has come to light. British actress Millie Bobby Brown, star of the series, reportedly accused her on-screen father figure, David Harbour, of harassment and bullying. The claim triggered a months-long internal investigation at Netflix and raises questions about working dynamics on one of the streaming platform’s most successful shows.
What Are the Allegations Involving Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour?
According to multiple reports (via TV Insider), Millie Bobby Brown filed a formal complaint alleging that David Harbour engaged in repeated bullying and harassing behaviour during production of Stranger Things. The complaint was reportedly submitted before filming of the show’s fifth and final season began.
A source told The Mail on Sunday:
“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.”
The key details reported so far:
-
The allegations do not include claims of sexual misconduct.
-
Netflix launched an internal inquiry; neither the outcome nor full details have been publicly disclosed.
-
Brown is said to have had a personal representative present on set during filming of the final season.
Given the high-profile status of the show — and the close on-screen father-daughter relationship between Harbour’s character Jim Hopper and Brown’s Eleven — the revelations have drawn significant attention.
