Before the release of Stranger Things 5, reports surfaced alleging that Millie Bobby Brown had filed a harassment and bullying complaint against her co-star David Harbour. However, their friendly appearance at the show’s premiere seemed to contradict these claims.
While David Harbour has faced unflattering media coverage recently, one particular report now appears questionable. The Daily Mail had claimed that Brown filed a complaint during production of the final season, supposedly leading to a months-long investigation filled with multiple accusations.

Contrary to speculation that Harbour might skip the show’s promotional events due to the controversy and his recent divorce from Lily Allen, he attended the November 6 premiere. There, he and Brown were photographed laughing, hugging, and looking comfortable together on the red carpet.
According to the show’s executive team, several recent stories about the cast’s on-set behavior were “wildly inaccurate,” reinforcing the sense that the alleged tensions were overstated.
Despite troubling rumors before the Stranger Things 5 premiere, Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour’s warm appearance together suggested harmony and cast doubt on sensational reports.
