There's no denying that Stranger Things stands as one of the most monumental television phenomena the world has ever seen, and fans are eagerly anticipating the arrival of its fifth and final season on Netflix. The streaming platform is pulling out all the stops to make it an "event of the year," but amidst all this hype, news of a harassment complaint filed by Millie Bobby Brown, who plays Eleven on the show, against her on-screen father, David Harbour, has left fans shocked and intrigued about what really transpired behind the scenes of their beloved series.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, it has been alleged that Brown reportedly accused Harbour of bullying and harassment, filing an official complaint over his alleged behavior on set. Citing a source, the outlet also claimed that the investigation into the matter lasted for several months. "Millie Bobby Brown filed a harassment and bullying claim before they started shooting the last season. There were pages and pages of accusations. The investigation went on for months," the source said.
Furthermore, the source alleged that the streamer will "never" comment on the internal investigation that took place and isn't surprised by Netflix's silence. As of now, neither Brown nor Harbour has commented on the matter.
While no details have been shared about the outcome of the investigation, it is unfortunate that these claims surfaced right before the premiere of the final edition. The relationship between Harbour and Brown has always been in the news because it was always believed that they shared a special bond. However, these allegations suggest that the bond might not have been as warm behind the scenes as it appeared to fans.
Nonetheless, Season 5 of Stranger Things is about to premiere later this month, with the first four episodes arriving on November 26. It will be fascinating to see if these allegations play a role in the public's reaction to the show. The series, which premiered in 2016, is one of the most-watched Netflix series of all time and has won several accolades, including Emmys.
