Editorial recommendations
The Mail on Sunday reported that Harbor faced a months-long internal investigation after the now 21-year-old complained about his behavior. The result of this investigation is currently unknown. According to the newspaper, Brown’s complaint did not contain any allegations of sexual harassment.
Pages of accusations?
A source told the paper: “Millie Bobby Brown filed a harassment and bullying complaint before filming began on the final season. There were pages and pages of allegations. The investigation took months.” The actress reportedly had a personal representative on set while filming the final season.
Netflix declined to comment on the investigation to Elle. The source continued to tell the Mail on Sunday: “Netflix will never comment on an internal investigation, but the fact that they haven’t denied it speaks volumes. ‘Stranger Things’ put Netflix on the map. Millions of fans around the world have been eagerly awaiting the finale. Nobody wants anything to distract from that.”
Tough times for David Harbour
The allegations are becoming public at a time when David Harbor is already facing many accusations. His ex-wife Lily Allen’s latest album, WEST END GIRL, which was released on October 24th, addresses Harbour’s alleged infidelities. On the record, Allen talks about affairs, a sex addiction and bags of sex toys from her ex-husband. According to the Mail on Sunday, at the time Brown made the allegations, Allen was said to have been supporting Harbor through this “brutal ordeal.”
