Millie Bobby Brown Filed Harassment Complaint Against David Harbour Before Stranger Things 5 Filming
Imagine two actors who play a father and daughter on a popular TV show called Stranger Things.
Before they started filming the last season of the show, one actor, Millie Bobby Brown, reportedly told the show's bosses that the other actor, David Harbour, was bothering her.
She said he was harassing and bullying her, and she even had a lot of things to say about it.
It's like if a student told the principal that a teacher was being mean.
An investigation happened, which took a long time.
Even though they play a loving family on TV, sometimes actors have complicated feelings off-screen.
They had spoken before about how they sometimes got angry with each other while acting, but they also seemed to care about each other a lot in real life.
The show's bosses and the actors haven't said anything about this report.
Millie Bobby Brown reportedly filed a harassment and bullying complaint against Stranger Things co-star David Harbour.
The complaint was allegedly lodged before filming began for the show's fifth and final season.
The report from The Daily Mail suggests an investigation into the claims lasted for months.
Allegations reportedly did not include sexual misconduct.
Representatives for Netflix, Brown, and Harbour have not commented on the report.
