‘Stranger Things’ Actor David harbour Accused of Harassing and Bullying Millie Bobby Brown

David Harbour, ⁢known for his role as Jim Hopper in the hit netflix series Stranger Things, is facing allegations ​of ⁣harassing and bullying his co-star, Millie Bobby Brown, during the show’s early seasons. The​ claims,recently reported by the Daily Mail,stem from an alleged incident on set where Harbour reportedly berated Brown,then 14,over her phone usage.

The⁣ accusations surface as Stranger Things prepares to release its final season, a cultural phenomenon that propelled ​both Harbour and Brown to international stardom. While the reported incident is ‌not believed to ⁢be⁤ a factor in Harbour’s recent⁢ separation from ⁢singer Lily Allen, ‌the allegations‌ raise‍ questions about the ‌working surroundings on the ‌show and the power ⁢dynamics between established actors and young performers.

According to a source who spoke with the Daily Mail, Harbour “exploded” at‍ Brown, ‍accusing her ⁣of being “distracted” and unprofessional ​for being on her phone ‍during filming. The source described the outburst as “verbal abuse” and said it left Brown “mortified.” Harbour’s behavior‌ reportedly prompted an ​intervention from producers, though details remain ‍scarce.

Brown rose to prominence alongside Harbour on Stranger Things,which premiered in 2016 ⁤and quickly became one of Netflix’s most-watched and critically acclaimed series. The 1980s-set, coming-of-age‍ drama also stars Winona Ryder, finn Wolfhard, Joe Keery, and Natalia​ Dyer. Season 4 of the show garnered a record-breaking 286.8 million hours of viewership within its first three days of ⁤release in 2022, according to Netflix.

Since Stranger ⁣Things, Brown has starred in⁢ feature films including Enola Holmes and Damsel.She married⁢ actor Jake Bongiovi,son of Jon Bon Jovi,in 2024 and the couple,who live on a farm in Georgia where they run an animal sanctuary,adopted a baby girl in August. Harbour ⁤and Allen separated earlier in 2024, with a source telling the Mail that Allen supported Harbour “throughout” a “brutal time” involving workplace bullying claims – though these claims are not thought to ⁤be related to the Brown incident.

The Daily Beast has ⁢contacted‍ netflix and also Brown and Harbour’s representatives for comment.⁤ Neither Netflix nor Harbour’s ⁣representatives responded to The ⁣Mail’s requests for comment.

The final season of stranger Things will be ​released in three parts, beginning with⁤ four ⁢episodes⁤ on November 26th. The following three episodes‌ will drop on Christmas, and the ‍final, two-and-a-half-hour episode will⁢ be⁤ released in cinemas and‌ on Netflix on New Year’s ⁣Eve.
