Millie Bobby Brown is speaking out — and shutting down speculation — after explosive claims about behind-the-scenes tension rocked the Stranger Things universe earlier this month.
The 21-year-old actress, who has starred in the sci-fi phenomenon since her early teens, affirmed her unwavering friendship with co-star David Harbour despite media reports suggesting conflict on the Netflix set.
When asked about the importance of standing united through the noise, Brown made it clear that loyalty isn’t new for the duo.
“We’ve been doing that for the last 10 years,” she told The Hollywood Reporter, reinforcing that their off-screen bond runs deep. She added, “We’ve always been a team. We adore this show… but protecting our friendship comes first. That’s always mattered more than anything.”
The Report That Lit the Fuse
Earlier this month, unverified claims surfaced alleging Brown had once filed a workplace harassment complaint involving Harbour, 50, during pre-production for Season 5 of Stranger Things in early 2024.
According to insiders quoted by the Daily Mail, the allegation sparked an internal review that reportedly ran for several months. However, sources stressed there were no claims of sexual misconduct or inappropriate behavior of that nature tied to the actor.
Meanwhile, separate rumors suggested Brown was accompanied on set by a personal representative during filming for the Stranger Things finale — claims that executive producer Shawn Levy later publicly dismissed as “wildly inaccurate.”
Levy emphasized the production’s commitment to professionalism, stating, “A safe, respectful set isn’t a slogan for us — it’s the standard. We deliberately built that culture and stand by it.”
The producer, whose career spans both blockbuster film and prestige television, said the team is “incredibly proud” of the workplace environment cultivated throughout the series’ decade-long run.
Back Together — and Better Than Ever
As chatter swirled, the stars themselves refused to let headlines write the narrative.
Brown described reuniting with Harbour for the show’s current season as a genuine joy, calling it “so nice” and “really exciting” to be back in each other’s orbit for Stranger Things.
The pair previously embodied that united front at the Season 5 premiere at the iconic TCL Chinese Theatre on November 6, where their camaraderie was on full display.
Brown didn’t stop there. Speaking to Extra at the premiere, she gushed, “This project has shaped our lives. A decade together — what we created here is bigger than any rumor.”
Jake, the Baby, and Her ‘Lucky’ Co-Star
The actress — who recently welcomed a baby girl with husband Jake Bongiovi, son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi — echoed the same sentiment days later in interviews with Extra.
Brown, who recently worked alongside her cast again, told Extra that she and Harbour are “incredibly lucky to have each other” and described their reunion as “amazing.”
She added to Extra, “We’ve shared a huge chapter of our lives through this experience. Getting to walk back onto this journey side-by-side felt really special.”
David Harbour has yet to issue a personal statement regarding the allegations.
Friendship Over Frenzy
If the last few weeks have proven anything, it’s this: Jennifer Aniston has timeless toes, Beyoncé runs rings around fashion, and Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour are refusing to let whispers drown out one of Hollywood’s most enduring on-set friendships.
After 10 years in the Upside Down, the pair seems more grounded than ever.
