As anticipation builds for the ultimate season of Netflix’s hit series Stranger Things, reports have emerged about serious tensions off-screen amongst key forged members and private turmoil within the lifetime of one among its stars. Millie Bobby Brown, who plays Eleven on the show, has accused her co-star David Harbour, known for his role as Jim Hopper, of bullying and harassment. These allegations reportedly surfaced before filming for the last season commenced.
Millie Bobby Brown accuses co-star David Harbour of bullying ahead of Stranger Things finale: Report
In response to sources cited by the Every day Mail, Brown filed a harassment claim against Harbour, citing inappropriate behaviour, though there have been no accusations of sexual misconduct. This led to a protracted internal investigation lasting several months. Despite the turmoil, Harbour’s wife, singer Lily Allen, supported him publicly in the course of the probe.
Parallel to those workplace allegations, Harbour has been navigating a difficult personal phase. Reports indicate his marriage with Allen led to February 2025 after allegations of infidelity surfaced. Allen released her album ‘West End Girl’ in October 2025, where she openly references heartbreak and betrayal, allegedly connected to Harbour’s extramarital affairs. Songs like ‘Madeline,’ ‘Tennis,’ and ‘P****y Palace’ chronicle themes of cheating, obsessive control, and emotional pain experienced during their marriage. Allen has called Harbour a “sex addict” and accused him of manic control despite their “open marriage.”
The allegations of bullying and harassment, coupled with Harbour’s troubled marriage, have fueled speculation amongst fans about his reduced presence in promotional events for Stranger Things Season 5. Some fans note an old video resurfacing where Brown appears visibly uncomfortable speaking about Harbour.
Adding to the complexity, Brown was asked on MTV prior to her wedding whether Harbour would officiate the ceremony. She initially hesitated before naming actor Matthew Modine—the character who plays the antagonist “Dr. Martin Brenner” within the show—as her officiant, distancing the event from Harbour.
Stranger Things Season 5 is ready to release in two parts, with the primary premiering on November 26 and the second on Christmas Day, culminating with a finale on Recent Yr’s Eve. Because the series bids farewell, off-screen dynamics between beloved forged members and private controversies have added unexpected drama to the highly awaited conclusion.
