Brown files harassment complaint against Harbour, Netflix probe

Millie Bobby Brown reportedly filed a formal harassment and bullying complaint against costar David Harbour before production began on the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, prompting an internal investigation at Netflix, according to people familiar with the matter. The alleged complaint, filed while the series was preparing to shoot its concluding chapters, led to a monthslong review by the streamer; the outcome of that review has not been disclosed.

Brown, who plays Eleven, and Harbour, who portrays Chief Jim Hopper, are central figures in the show’s ensemble and are both expected to appear in the final season. Sources say the complaint contained extensive allegations of bullying and harassment but did not include claims of sexual misconduct. During filming for the last season, Brown was reportedly accompanied on set by a personal representative. Harbour, who is 50, has not publicly addressed the reports and representatives for both actors did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Netflix declined to comment on the investigation in response to inquiries, and sources note the company typically does not discuss internal personnel matters.
