David Harbour Faces Backlash After Bullying Allegations by Millie Bobby Brown
David Harbour, known for his role as ex-police chief Jim Hopper in Stranger Things, is currently under fire after his co-star Millie Bobby Brown accused him of bullying and harassing her on set. The allegations have surfaced at a challenging time for Harbour, as he is also dealing with cheating claims made by his ex-wife, Lily Allen.
The 50-year-old actor, who plays the adoptive father of Brown’s character Eleven, has reportedly been the subject of an internal inquiry following a formal complaint filed by the British actress several months ago. The timing of these accusations being made public has raised questions about strategic motives, as Harbour’s reputation is already under scrutiny.
Publicity experts like Alexandria Hurley, founder of ABH Public Relations, have highlighted the complexity of Harbour’s current PR crises. “The situation is especially complicated because David is experiencing multiple, overlapping PR crises,” Hurley explained. “The timing of these accusations being made public — coming just days after his ex-wife Lily Allen’s album dropped with references to alleged infidelity — is not accidental.”
As Harbour navigates these challenges, fans and industry insiders are watching closely to see how he addresses the allegations and works to salvage his career. The upcoming fifth and final season of Stranger Things adds another layer of pressure, as viewers anticipate the conclusion of the beloved series.
