Eleven and Hopper are still thick as thieves.
Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour showed a united front at the “Stranger Things 5” world premiere in Los Angeles on Thursday, following reports that Brown, 21, accused Harbour, 51, of harassment and bullying on the set of the Netflix series.
The actors posed and laughed together on the red carpet, seemingly as a way to shut down the rumors about their alleged feud.
Brown and Harbour even gushed over each other while doing press on the carpet.
“I’ve obviously had a really special bond with David because we have a father and daughter relationship, and we do every scene together,” Brown told Entertainment Tonight. “You really get to see that in season 5.”
“It’s been so special to have him along the journey for me. Winona, the kids,” she added. “I’m really honored to have played Eleven and have to met such amazing people along the way.”
While speaking to “Extra,” Brown said about reuniting with Harbour, “It’s been amazing. We’re so lucky to have each other. The show is means so much to the both of us and to everyone here.”
Harbour, for his part, told ET on the carpet: “I adore her, and I’ve been proud to watch all them grow up and become great artists. I doubt it will be the last time we’ll see each other in this world or work together.”
Meanwhile, “Stranger Things” creator Matt Duffer and fellow executive producer Shawn Levy both addressed the bullying and harassment claims at the premiere.
Matt, while standing next to his brother and co-creator, Ross Duffer, told The Hollywood Reporter, “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,” Matt added.
Levy, 57, was asked by THR how production handles a bullying complaint on set and “makes sure everyone feels safe and respected.”
“At the end of the day, that’s the job,” Levy replied. “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.”
The “Deadpool and Wolverine” director continued, “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.”
On Nov. 1, the Daily Mail reported that Brown allegedly filed a complaint about Harbour before filming the fifth and final season of their hit Netflix show.
“Millie Bobby Brown filed a harassment and bullying claim before they started shooting the last season,” a source told the outlet. “There were pages and pages of accusations. The investigation went on for months.”
Harbour reportedly faced an internal investigation over his co-star’s claims, while Brown allegedly filmed the series finale accompanied by a personal representative on set.
The Post has reached out to Brown, Harbour and Netflix for comment.
Harbour previously spoke about the “deep fatherly affection” he has for Brown on an episode of the “That Scene with Dan Patrick” podcast in 2021.
“Millie and I have always had sort of a special relationship because I knew her when she was so young. I knew her before any of this big fame hit,” the “Thunderbolts*” actor said.
“I have a real protective feeling for her. I have a real, like, worry,” Harbour continued. “I worry about her and the fame and all that she has to struggle with.”
