Stranger Things creators speak out about rumors of Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour feud as the pair reunite

While fans are excited about the final season of Stranger Things, some have been confused by feud rumors swirling around about two star cast members.

Netflix hit Stranger Things has taken viewers on a whirlwind journey over the last decade and many are sad to see it come to an end with the final and fifth season.

But before we even get there, there have been rumors of serious drama behind the scenes involving Millie Bobby Brown, 21, and David Harbour, 50.

Reports have claimed that the pair weren’t getting on well while filming the final season and some went as far as to allege that the Eleven actress filed a bullying and harassment claim against Harbour.

As the star cast showed up for the season five world premiere in Los Angeles on Thursday evening (November 6), many fans noticed that Brown and Harbour were all smiles and sweet moments, contrary to the rumors.

The show’s creators were even quizzed by members of the press about the rumors and gave some pretty clear-cut answers.

Co-creator Ross Duffer spoke to the Hollywood Reporter and dismissed much of the ‘noise’ around it.

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.

“I’ve read a bunch of stories and they range from wildly inaccurate to… there’s so much noise around it. But the truth is that we view this crew and this cast as family, and so we treat each other with respect, and that’s always been bedrock.”

Meanwhile, Brown told Entertainment Tonight: “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 5.”

She added: “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.”

Netflix also shared a video on Instagram of both actors laughing and falling into each other's arms in front of fans.

Some fans took to commenting that they no longer believed the rumors that the pair were in the middle of a feud.
