Millie Bobby Brown Hugs David Harbour, Shares Laugh After Harassment Claims

Days after reports surfaced that Millie Bobby Brown filed a harassment complaint against David Harbour, the on-screen father and daughter shared a warm, public reunion on the red carpet of the Stranger Things 5 premiere.

November 7, 2025: The cast of Netflix’s hit series Stranger Things reunited for the Season 5 premiere in Los Angeles on Thursday night, but all eyes were on stars Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour, who play the beloved father-daughter duo Eleven and Chief Jim Hopper.

The reunion comes just days after a report by The Daily Mail alleged that the 20-year-old actress had filed a detailed harassment and bullying complaint against Harbour ahead of filming the final season, which wrapped in December 2024.

A United Front on the Red Carpet

Despite the tense rumors of an on-set dispute, the two actors shared a laugh and a warm embrace on the red carpet. Netflix shared a video of the interaction on social media, writing: “David Harbour and Millie Bobby Brown arrive together for one last Stranger Things premiere 🥹.”

The display of camaraderie appeared to put the “on-screen rift” rumors to rest for many fans, though neither actor nor the streaming service has officially commented on the allegations.

The Allegations

According to the initial report, Brown allegedly lodged a formal complaint against Harbour before the start of production on the final season.

Nature of Claims: An insider told The Daily Mail that the complaint included “pages and pages of accusations,” and that the ensuing investigation “went on for months.”
No Sexual Misconduct: The source clarified that the allegations did not include any claims of sexual misconduct.
On-Set Safety: The report further alleged that Brown had a personal representative present on set throughout the filming of the final season to ensure her comfort and safety.

The alleged tension is notable given that the relationship between Eleven and Jim Hopper is widely regarded as the emotional cornerstone of the sci-fi series. Harbour has previously spoken publicly about having a “deep fatherly affection” and “protective feeling” for Brown, whom he has watched grow up on the set.
