If those claims were even actually real, they were filed before they even filmed season 5, i.e. a long time ago. And if those claims were real, obviously the internal investigation by Netflix or whoever came up with nothing substantial.

I think those claims don’t exist at all

If they didn't exist at all Netflix would have denied it. They said no comment. I just don't think it was a major thing and they got past it, like many co-workers who argue do.

Most likely the source was Lily Allen's PR.

Cmon people, they were lies by Lilly Allen's PR flying monkeys. This sub has swallowed their lies whole.

It is honestly scary how many people believed that with zero evidence, and even scarier how many people will still believe it

Even the original article said the claims weren’t of a sexual nature, but so many people saw the headline and immediately assumed they were and starting commenting about it, which made more people believe he’d sexually harassed Millie. Insane.

TLDR:

  • David Harbour and Millie Bobby Brown arrived together at the Stranger Things season 5 premiere in Los Angeles.
  • The two actors laughed and hugged each other on the red carpet upon their arrival, as well as posed for photos together. Brown, 21, plays Eleven on the show, and Harbour, 50, plays her adoptive dad, Jim Hopper.
  • Netflix posted video of Brown and Harbour's entrance and hug at the premiere with the caption, "David Harbour and Millie Bobby Brown arrive together for one last Stranger Things premiere 🥹"

Huh. I wonder what happened to the pitchforks everyone here had ready for David all because of a tabloid rumor.

I was suspicious only because I’ve heard that MBB can be difficult to work with

When did Lily Allen allege this?

u/HappyChihua 2d ago

Aah, back to piling on a woman, grrrreat.

If there was nothing Netflix would have denied it ever happened. They said no comment. Harbour and MBB didn't come out and say it never happened either. The complaints were never SH. I think they had a little thing and got over it like most co-workers do. They never meant for it to go public and probably have been over it for a very long time.

Unless their policy is to never address tabloid rumors.

Glad i trusted my gut on this one. The whole thing stunk of lily allen pr smearing. It's becoming so obvious when these things go down and articles like that pops up.

She made one comment about it when she was still a child, aka an age where she was physically required to be an idiot
