Millie Bobby Brown spoke about her relationship with David Harbour and her feelings towards the final season of Stranger Things.

Earlier this month a report suggested that Millie Bobby Brown had complained about costar David Harbour and accused him of on-set bullying.

However, only days later after the report, the pair were all smiles and affectionate on the red carpet at the Stranger Things season five world premiere in Los Angeles on November 6.

While neither actor has come out and addressed the speculation head on, the videos of the pair being friendly with one another spread on social media and saw many fans dismiss the idea that there was a feud.

Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, Brown explained why it was important for her and her co-stars to have a united front despite headlines suggesting tension between the group.

She said: “We’ve been doing that for the last 10 years.

“I mean, we have always been united in that. We love this show with everything, and we value our friendship more than anything.”

Brown also spoke specifically about her and Harbour’s relationship.

Speaking to the outlet, she said it was ‘so nice and really exciting’ being able to ‘come back together’ with Harbour for the final season.

She continued: “It was quite nostalgic because it reminded me so much of season two and three, where we’re both kind of butting heads and she’s growing up, she’s trying to find her own voice and he’s trying to parent, and that dynamic definitely comes back into play once again, and I’m really excited for people to see that.

“And I think some of people’s favorite scenes of Eleven are Ele and [Hopper], so I’m really excited to have that come to screen once again.”

Not long after the initial report, Co-creator Ross Duffer spoke to the Hollywood Reporter and dismissed much of the ‘noise’.

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.”

Stranger Things director and executive producer Shawn Levy also spoke on how production deals with bullying complaints, in clear reference to the swirling rumors.

He said they go out of their way to ‘make sure everyone feels safe and respected’.

Levy 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.”
