Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbor were missing from the Stranger Things final season celebration. New speculation about the relationship between the main actors.
The cast of Stranger Things gathered for a gathering in New York. A dazzling event with star power, but two key names stayed away from the event. This now raises questions.
David Harbor and Millie Bobby Brown were not there
On Thursday, December 18, 2025, the cast of the hugely successful mystery series gathered for a party at New York’s Paley Center. The release of the last season was celebrated under the motto “Stranger Things: The final season celebration”. The entire crew came together, but two of the main actors were missing. Both Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbor were nowhere to be found.
David Harbor was originally announced for the event, but was spontaneously removed as a participant, as “TMZ” reports. This circumstance raises questions as the actor has repeatedly caused a stir with his bizarre behavior in the recent past. Things are different for the actress playing the main character “Eleven”, Millie Bobby Brown: she was neither announced nor was there a surprise appearance. According to rumors, the relationship between the two actors has been characterized by ups and downs for a long time.
Tablecloth cut up after all?
The absence of the two stars is now making the rumor mill run hotter than ever. Recently there had been increasing reports that the relationship between the two actors had reached a low point. Serious allegations were made against the 50-year-old Harbor. He is said to have made several missteps on set and was subsequently exposed to allegations of bullying. He is also said to have exhibited misconduct towards his much younger colleague.
However, Millie Bobby Brown denied the rumors. Their relationship is not strained and is still good. The two are often said to have a familial, almost father-daughter-like relationship and a professional cooperation. The two actors also emphasized this recently during harmonious joint appearances, for example at the premiere of the final season. However, Harbor, who was recently divorced from British pop singer Lily Allen, had recently attracted negative attention when he freaked out in a bar and clashed with a fan.
There are no official statements from the two actors yet.
