Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour Embrace at ‘Stranger Things’ Premiere After Bullying and Harassment Claims

The co-stars, who play a father-daughter duo in the much-awaited series, were all smiles with each other as they arrived at the event. Their reunion comes shortly after reports surfaced that the actress filed a bullying and harassment claim against the actor.

Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour attended the world premiere of the fifth and final season of Netflix's "Stranger Things" and appeared to shut down the rumors about reported tensions between the two actors.

The event took place at the TCL Chinese Theatre on Thursday evening, November 6, where the pair reunited alongside the rest of the cast on the red carpet. They even stepped aside to take photos together as they laughed and chatted.

For the evening, Harbour was dressed in a sophisticated dark pinstripe suit paired with a crisp white dress shirt and a matching striped tie. He completed the ensemble with black dress shoes, a neatly groomed mustache, and his hair slicked back.

Beside him, Brown stunned in a sheer black lace gown adorned with feathered detailing along the neckline and down the front. She accessorized with statement drop earrings and subtle rings, and wore her hair in an elegant updo.

Netflix also uploaded a video of the two happily embracing as they arrived for the premiere. The heartwarming gesture comes after the Daily Mail reported that Brown had filed a bullying and harassment claim against Harbour before they began filming the final season.

The outlet claimed the filing had "pages and pages" of accusations and triggered a months-long investigation. An inquiry reportedly followed after Brown allegedly complained about Harbour's behavior toward her.

"[Millie] Bobby Brown filed a harassment and bullying claim before they started shooting the last season," a source told the Daily Mail. "There were pages and pages of accusations. The investigation went on for months."

Brown is said to have had a personal representative with her during filming. She and Harbour have worked closely together since 2015, when "Stranger Things" first began filming its debut season in Atlanta. Brown, at the time, was 11 years old.

The actress has played the show's lead character, Eleven, while Harbour portrays her adoptive dad, Jim Hopper. In the show, their characters have a tight-knit relationship that fans have watched evolve over the years.

Notably, in season three, they struggle to reconcile Eleven's desire for independence with Hopper's need to protect her. These dynamics — with their ups and downs — even manifested in their real-life relationship on set.

"We went through so many different emotions...we get angry at each other, we are like father and daughter," Brown told the audience in 2018 during PaleyFest in Los Angeles, per Refinery29.

"We got angry at each other, we would express our feelings on and off the set, and… those scenes were so raw and real that the reward is the scenes," she continued. In light of the lawsuit she reportedly filed, videos hinting at her discomfort with Harbour have resurfaced.

In March 2024, during a press appearance on MTV, Brown's interviewer joked about her then-upcoming wedding with Jake Bongiovi being "Stranger Things"-themed and Harbour serving as the officiant.

Brown squinted her eyes before responding with a reluctant "yes" and giving a confused look. She then laughed awkwardly and said, "I don't know how I feel [about that]. Sure." Many, at the time, took her response as a moment of awkward or polite disagreement.
