What was Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour's harrassment controversy?
Recently, a report by The Daily Mail alleged that Millie Bobby Brown has lodged a formal complaint against her co-star David Harbour, accusing him of harassment and bullying ahead of Stranger Things 5 finale season's release.
The 20-year-old actor, who plays Eleven (El) since the Netflix series first aired in 2016, was said to have submitted “pages and pages of accusations” against Harbour, who plays Chief Jim Hopper - her on-screen father.
The report further claimed that Brown’s complaint triggered an internal investigation that spanned several months. However, no allegations of sexual misconduct were made. The probe, reportedly, focused on workplace behaviour and set dynamics.
An insider had told the outlet, “She filed a harassment and bullying claim before they started shooting the last season. The investigation went on for months.”
Neither Netflix nor Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour's representatives had cleared the claims, until now.
Meanwhile, Stranger Things 5 is releasing in three parts - the first four episodes of Stranger Things 5 will release on November 26, followed by three episodes on Christmas. The Finale episode will be out on New Year's Eve.
