Did David Harbour bully and harass co-star Millie Bobby Brown before shooting began for Stranger Things Season 5? Reports reveal that the actress has filed a formal complaint, and investigations have been going on for months.
Stranger Things actor David Harbour has landed in another controversy after facing cheating allegations from his estranged wife, singer-songwriter Lily Allen. Reports suggest that Millie Bobby Brown has allegedly accused co-star David Harbour of bullying and harassment.
Ahead of the Stranger Things finale, this accusation has triggered a detailed internal investigation at Netflix. Millie Bobby Brown, who plays Eleven, and David Harbour, who plays her on-screen adoptive father Jim Hopper, are two of the most popular characters of the series, and the fifth and final chapter of Stranger Things will begin streaming later this month.
What is the accusation?
As per The Mail, the 21-year-old actress had filed a formal harassment and bullying complaint before filming began for Season 5. “There were pages and pages of accusations. The investigation went on for months.”
Netflix has declined to comment on the investigation, but reports say the streaming platform will “never comment” on internal investigations, yet its silence is being interpreted as telling. One insider told The Mail, “The fact they’ve not denied it speaks volumes.”
It is said that Brown reportedly had a personal representative with her on set while shooting for the final series.
David Harbour’s personal troubles
This is not the first controversy Harbour has landed in; he is simultaneously facing scrutiny over his split from singer Lily Allen. As per reports, her latest album, West End Girl, alleges infidelity during their marriage.
Reportedly, Harbour had an affair with New Orleans costume designer Natalie Tippett. Sources say Lily stood by Harbor during the “brutal” investigation involving Brown.
