Millie Bobby Brown makes it clear: The bullying allegations against David Harbor are unfounded. The Stranger Things stars have a close working relationship.
Millie Bobby Brown publicly rejects allegations of bullying against her “Stranger Things” colleague David Harbour.
Rumors of harassment and bullying
A report in the British “Daily Mail” recently revealed that Harbor was said to have noticed inappropriate behavior on the set of the “Stranger Things” filming. Specifically, there was talk of bullying and harassment. Sexual harassment was explicitly not the subject of the allegations, which were never publicly confirmed.
Clear attitude from the “Eleven” actress
Now Millie Bobby Brown – whose real name is Millie Bonnie Bongiovi after her wedding to Jon Bon Jovi’s son Jake – spoke out about these vague allegations herself. She emphasized that she always felt safe working with Harbor. She confirmed to Deadline: “David and I have a great relationship. We work very closely together on the scenes and preparing the scenes.” Already At the premiere, Millie gave her first hints against the rumorsas you can see in numerous recordings of the evening.
Special relationship through father-daughter dynamic
In “Stranger Things” the two play father and daughter. The 21-year-old concludes: “We have a closer bond than the others because we had some really intense scenes together, especially in season two.” But she is also very excited about the audience’s reaction to the Eleven Hopper scenes in the final season. She looks forward to seeing “how much love and hard work we put into ending our relationship.” She continued: “I think these scenes will have a big impact. I love it. Every time I see myself filming with him, I want to do my best because I know he does just as much.”
Just an inside rumor
An insider reported to the Daily Mail at the beginning of November 2025 that there had been pages of allegations against Harbor. Netflix’s intensive review of this is said to have taken months. Millie Bobby Brown has now made it clear that there is no truth to these allegations. Furthermore, she emphasized: “I feel safe with everyone on set.”
Director already contradicted false report
Already at the beginning of November 2025, shortly after the allegations emerged, director Shawn Levy spoke to the “Hollywood Reporter” and rejected the allegations: “Ultimately, our job is to create a respectful workplace where everyone feels comfortable and safe. So we have done everything we can to create this environment, and we are proud that we have succeeded.”
