Millie Bobby Brown breaks silence on relationship with David Harbour amid rumors of ‘bullying’

Millie Bobby Brown has opened up about her relationship with David Harbour after a report claimed she filed bullying accusations against him.

At the beginning of the month, a report in The Daily Mail claimed that before filming began for the fifth and final season of hit Netflix series Stranger Things began, Brown had filed 'pages and pages of accusations' of bullying against her co-star.

According to the outlet's exclusive report, there were several pages of accusations made against Harbour by the 21-year-old actress, with it being claimed she always had a personal representative on set as a result of the investigation.

But Brown, who plays the leading character Eleven in the series, has now addressed her relationship with her co-star in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight.

When she was asked what the relationship means to her, she replied: “So much, so much. I mean, we play father and daughter. And similar to Noah [Schnapp] and Winona [Ryder], you have an amazing friendship."

She told the outlet: "I’ve obviously had a really special bond with David because we have a father and daughter relationship, and we do every scene together. You really get to see that in season five.

“It’s been so special to have him along the journey for me. Winona, the kids. I’m really honoured to have played Eleven and have to met such amazing people along the way.”

Meanwhile, the show's co-creator Ross Duffer spoke to The Hollywood Reporter, where he was dismissive of the 'noise' around the show.

He said: “Obviously, you understand I can’t get into personal onset matters, but I will say we’ve been doing this for 10 years with this cast, and at this point they’re family and we deeply care about them.

“So, you know, nothing matters more than just having a set where everyone feels safe and happy.”

Shawn Levy, the show's director and executive producer, also spoke on how the show's production handles complaints around bullying in a thinly-veiled reference to the rumors, saying that they always try to ‘make sure everyone feels safe and respected’.

He added: “You have to create a respectful workplace where everyone feels comfortable and safe, and so we did everything to build that environment. And we’re proud of the fact that we did so."

As is becoming increasingly common on Netflix, the fifth and final season of Stranger Things will be released in three parts.

The first four episodes of the final season will be released on 26 November, with the next three episodes going out on Christmas Day, before the finale, called The Rightside Up, will be released on New Year's Day.
