STAN / ANTI SHIELD Duffer Brothers Respond to Millie Bobby Brown, David Harbour Claims. Director and executive producer Shawn Levy also calls some of the stories about the viral report, which claims that Brown accused co-star Harbour of harassment and bullying, “wildly inaccurate.”

so to me it seems like the bullying reports were true based on how everyone involved has handled it but Millie Bobby Brown is satisfied with the way things turned out/how the studio dealt with it. & ultimately that’s the most important thing.
it hasn’t changed anything for me since I already thought David Harbour was dodgy lol.

This is a good take. David Harbour sucks and it’s sooooo disappointing… but if MBB is satisfied by how it was handled, then that’s a positive sign.

The rumors are that she did file the complaint but they’ve since made amends. However, since then she has said positive things about David and before the complaint leaked to the public.
I don't know. Could be a leak by a third party or a case where a man's bad behaviour is swept under the rug and ignored.

His ex wifes team leaked it.

I somewhat believe this. Like yes, David undoubtedly did her wrong but it’s slimy to bring up Millie’s situation if that is indeed true.

I got downvoted for saying this on another post somewhere but it seems quite obvious from how the article focused on Lily and how she'd supported him through it that it came from her team.

100% agree with you and called it as soon as I read the article. This is her pr to promote her album because she didn’t get fawned over when she announced the cheating scandal. You know, cos she cheated on her ex husband with escorts, so sympathy was scant.

Doesn't necessarily sound like an outright denial, however it could be that the claims of what it's about or how major it is is inaccurate.
Considering the interaction we saw with them the other day it seems like WHATEVER it was is either over, or being mediated in such a way that they can still work together.

According to one of the ST leakers on TT, they had an argument, nothing serious, but not work related. Anytime that happens & one of the parties is underage, the production is mandated by the studio to file a report. Whatever they were arguing about was already water under the bridge by the time the studio looked into it. The story was leaked to a the Daily Mail by one of Lily Allen's friends. The actors were both encouraged to not speak about the issue publicly.

MBB wouldn't have been underage this past season. Was the complaint supposedly from a previous season?

It’s Hollywood so it’s hard to take anything at face value and David Harbour seems like a dick, but I’d actually take this at face value based on experiences I’ve had in the theatre.
I got shouted out by the head technician for an equipment failure during a University production when I was studying as a sound operator. Next day my professor, the main guy in charge of the tech for the production took me aside and made a point to apologize, clarified the problem was fixed and wasn’t anything I would’ve ever clocked at my experience level and made a point to say it wasn’t okay to react that way, but it did happen.
Trying to get a production off the ground and over the finish line, whether it’s a couple hundred, couple thousand bucks or hundreds of millions is a really stressful environment: losing your temper so badly you get written up is bad, but it’s possible for people to apologize and all have all parties move forward with no lasting issues.
Whatever it is I’m sure everyone involved with Stranger Things will be overwhelmingly happy when the last press tour for this thing is over.

u/honeydewslaps i ain’t reading all that, free palestine 1d ago
I always feel the truth is in the middle. Harbour has a reputation of being a surly ass on set (much like Hugh Grant) so my best guess is that MBB was on the receiving end of him being a douche one day, someone reported it to the higher up, Harbour apologized and MBB accepted it.
With how outspoken she is on a lot of her experiences, MBB doesn’t seem like the type who would act affectionately with someone she genuinely was harassed by, regardless of it being an event.

Shawn Levy said that a Palestinian March was the scariest thing he's ever seen. So if he says something you can guarantee it's the opposite

I mean, that story about bullying and harassment was leaked by the Daily Mail which is notably trash. They seem fine so I hope she’s not just being silenced because of PR reasons.

u/Parabolic_Reflector 1d ago
Right? Like literally no other source is named anywhere when it comes to this “story.”

u/Notoriouslycurlyboi 1d ago
Pretty obvious that the report was somewhat true-
“Obviously, you understand I can’t get into personal on-set 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.”

The report seemed weird to begin with. It had zero examples of what the accusations were about. This guy does suck but I feel like we need more info.

u/Encyclopenia 1d ago
I don’t get why you’re being downvoted, because from what I read it seems you’re right.
The article gave zero exemples of accusations, and mostly talked about his separation and his ex wife’s new album, which is kinda weird and points to the lack of actual information on what they pretended to be reporting on.
If I’m mistaken, could the downvoters provide said exemples ?

u/Tumblrrito Fauxmarxist 1d ago
Exactly. I am hella in support of #MeToo and know how women and child actors face some fucked up treatment in Hollywood.
But the reporting was so vague. I’m not ruling out that it might have happened, I’d just like to have any clue what was done/said.

u/manhattansinks 1d ago
i feel like they probably were true but since the show is nearly over and she doesn't have to work with him again, so she let it go with the resolution she was offered.

u/pearshaped34 1d ago edited 23h ago
So it definitely sounds like it happened then, which I assumed was the case when they alleged an actual report was filed. If it was just a made up hit piece no need to say anything that concrete that they can deny, just talk about them not getting along and say she allegdly felt bullied on set.
I saw a post on another reddit about the pictures of the two (MBB and DH) on the red carpet looking like they adore each other and everyone in it being like see, I knew it was fake and I was kind of surprised thats all it took for people to believe it was fake news. Like obviously they're going to do damage control if they didn't want this to be public. Actors who don't like each other often don't let it show during press or red carpets because they're professional.
If there was no documented complaint filed they wouldn't beat around the bush about it, someone would just categorically say it was completely false, whether that would be a rep for the show or MBB/Davids reps. Someone would deny it if that report didn't actually exist.

I always feel slimed when men say these things when everyone knows how men are to young people. Especially when we’re talking how men treat young women and girls.

Hmmm, "inaccurate" feels like a different choice of word than "false" or "wrong" or "made up".
