Were reports of Millie Bobby Brown accusing Stranger Things co-star David Harbor of bullying and harassment false? Fans were surprised on Thursday night when the two actors posed together for photographers and even shared a laugh on the red carpet of the world premiere of Stranger Things Season 5 in Los Angeles.
Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbor laugh a lot
The premiere of the final season of the popular Netflix thriller was held at the TCL Chinese Theater in Los Angeles on Thursday night. Millie and David posed together on the red carpet with the 50-year-old actor embracing the 21-year-old. Dressed in a stunning black gown, Millie chatted with David during the photo session, as the two even shared a laugh.
Videos of the interaction were widely shared on social media by media outlets and paparazzi pages on Thursday night, causing some confusion among fans. “Uhhh I thought she filed a complaint against him,” one fan commented, referring to a recent report that Millie had filed a formal complaint against David, accusing him of bullying her.
Others described their joint appearance as an attempt to debunk those reports. “That’s right!! Stop the rumours,” one fan wrote. Another reiterated, “The way she looks at him doesn’t make me feel bad.”
Some people argued that maybe there was some friction between the two, but they decided to be professional and put together a united front for their show. “The rumors aren’t rumors. They’re established. But they’re professionals. They decided they could work through things, and it looks like they can. Which makes me happy to see. I love them both and wish them all the best,” one social media user wrote.
What is the controversy?
Earlier this week, radaronline.com Millie, 21, reportedly filed a formal complaint against David Harbour, 50, prompting an internal investigation by Netflix. An insider told Radaronline.com, “Millie Bobby Brown filed a harassment and bullying claim before she started shooting last season. There were pages and pages of allegations. The investigation lasted for months.”
