David Harbour Hit With Harassment Allegations Ahead of Avengers: Doomsday & Stranger Things 5

Right after those rumors of tension on the Avengers: Doomsday set involving Thunderbolts actors, new reporting now puts David Harbour back in the spotlight.

With Stranger Things 5 about to debut and Harbour’s personal life under scrutiny due to his recent split from estranged wife Lily Allen, the actor is now facing claims that he bullied and harassed Millie Bobby Brown during production of the final season.

The Allegations

According to Daily Mail, Brown filed a formal harassment and bullying complaint against Harbour before filming began:

“Millie Bobby Brown filed a harassment and bullying claim before they started shooting the last season. There were pages and pages of accusations. The investigation went on for months.”

The report says Netflix conducted an internal inquiry, though no outcome has been made public. The outlet notes the allegations did NOT involve sexual misconduct.

Harbour allegedly continued filming while represented by his team, and Brown reportedly had her own rep on-set throughout the shoot.

A Chaotic Moment for Harbour

These accusations surface as Harbour faces separate headlines about cheating allegations tied to his breakup with Lily Allen. Her new album includes songs referencing alleged infidelity during their marriage.

Netflix declined comment, but sources told the outlet the streamer didn’t deny the investigation and has remained focused on the Stranger Things finale rollout.

Stranger Things Finale Pushes Forward

Despite the drama, Netflix expects Stranger Things 5 to be a massive success, planning a two-part release starting on November 26 with Volume 1, and Volume 2 will be released on Christmas. Additionally, a streaming and theatrical run for the final episode is scheduled for December 31st.

The Daily Mail reports:

‘It will be a theatrical event,’ a Netflix source said last night. ‘Nothing is going to overshadow this, not even the leading man’s private life.’ The source added it was ‘unfortunate’ that Mr Harbour’s personal woes have hit the headlines at a time when Stranger Things fans were looking forward to a global celebration to mark the end of the groundbreaking show.

Thunderbolts Actors Reportedly Clash During Avengers: Doomsday Shoot

What about Avengers: Doomsday?

Back in August, it was rumored that an on-set altercation happened between Wyatt Russell, who plays John Walker/US Agent, and David Harbor, who plays Red Guardian.

The situation reportedly happened during filming for a Thunderbolts segment of the movie.

The incident is described as a shouting match that escalated into a shove. The source claims it started after Russell complained about a part of his role being cut, and Harbour made a remark that Russell didn’t appreciate.
