Did Millie Bobby Brown accuse David Harbour of misconduct? Stranger Things allegations explained

by

After Lily Allen released a revealing new album detailing her breakup with David Harbour, a claim has emerged alleging that Millie Bobby Brown accused a fellow actor from Stranger Things of inappropriate behavior. The truth of this claim is currently unconfirmed. Please be aware that this article contains mature content.

British singer Lily Allen and actor David Harbour, known for his role in “Stranger Things,” were married for four years. Towards the end of last year, reports began circulating about problems in their relationship, and these were later confirmed – and expanded upon – with the release of Lily Allen’s album in October 2025.

Her first album in seven years, ‘West End Girl,’ details the end of her relationship. It covers difficult topics like trying an open marriage, as well as accusations of infidelity, manipulation, and compulsive sexual behavior.

The timing of the release is interesting, coming only a month before the first part of Stranger Things Season 5 premieres on Netflix. Meanwhile, David Harbour is now dealing with new claims involving his co-star, Millie Bobby Brown.

Did Millie Bobby Brown accuse David Harbour of misconduct? 

These claims come from a Daily Mail article published on November 1, 2025, which reported that Brown accused Harbour of bullying and harassment. However, as of now, these accusations haven’t been confirmed and should be viewed with skepticism.

The report indicates the complaint was filed before filming began on the fifth season of Stranger Things, which led to an internal review. While the results of the investigation aren’t clear, the complaint didn’t involve any accusations of sexual misconduct.

I was shocked to hear that Millie Bobby Brown actually filed a harassment and bullying complaint before they even started filming the final season of the show! Apparently, it was a really detailed report – pages and pages of accusations, and the investigation took months to complete. It’s awful to think about what she must have gone through.

Millie Bobby Brown, the actress known for playing Eleven, allegedly had someone present during the filming of the last season of the popular Netflix show. However, this hasn’t been officially confirmed, as no supporting documents have been released and Netflix hasn’t made a statement.

According to the source, Netflix’s lack of response is significant. While they typically don’t discuss internal investigations, the fact that they haven’t refuted the claims suggests something is happening.

Stranger Things was a major success for Netflix, and its finale is highly anticipated by millions of fans worldwide. They want the focus to remain entirely on the show’s conclusion.

According to the Daily Mail, Lily Allen was a strong support for Harbour during this difficult period. A source described it as a very tough time for him, emphasizing that Allen stood by him throughout.

What happened between Lily Allen and David Harbour?

Before news broke about issues with the actors from Stranger Things, Maya Hawke and David Harbour had already ended their four-year marriage. They had been separated for some time, and Maya Hawke’s album, ‘West End Girl,’ released in October, publicly confirmed their split.

Over 14 songs, Allen chronicles the end of her marriage, beginning with her hesitation about trying an open relationship and how she felt controlled and manipulated. In the song ‘Tennis,’ she remembers discovering text messages on her husband’s phone from a woman named Madeline, who also becomes the title of the following track.

In the song ‘Madeline,’ she discusses how a romantic relationship violated the terms of their understanding, detailing her direct confrontation with the other woman. However, the songs ‘4chan Stan’ and ‘Pussy Palace’ are perhaps the most revealing and critical pieces.

Allen publicly ridiculed her husband after learning he was buying lavish gifts for another woman, calling him a follower of the online forum 4chan. She also described finding sex toys and condoms at his apartment, leading her to label him a sex addict.

Okay, so ‘West End Girl’ definitely has stuff pulled from my actual relationship with David Harbour, but I’ve also admitted that not everything on the album is real life. I took some creative liberties, you know?

In an interview with The Sunday Times, she admitted the album isn’t a completely accurate portrayal of her life, saying she took some creative liberties. However, she confirmed that many of the songs are inspired by real experiences from her relationship.

Madeline identity revealed 

Natalie Tippett, who goes by the name Madeline, is a costume designer. Harbour met her while filming the 2023 Netflix movie, We Have A Ghost. The Daily Mail recently confirmed her identity after speaking with the 34-year-old.

When asked about Allen’s album, Tippett said he was aware of the song, but explained he had personal responsibilities. He mentioned his young daughter and expressed some concern about the situation.

In the song ‘Madeline,’ Allen imitates Tippett’s American way of speaking as she recites a conversation they shared. During this conversation, Tippett bluntly stated that their relationship was purely physical, saying, “It’s always been about sex. There’s no emotional bond here.”

When asked if she was aware her text messages were being used as song lyrics, Tippett responded, “Yes, but I’d rather not discuss it right now.”

Has Harbour commented on the situation?

David Harbour recently discussed his personal struggles – “the pain, slip-ups, and mistakes” he’s made – in an interview with Esquire while talking about the upcoming season of Stranger Things.

Someone asked him, now that he’s 50, if he’d change anything about his life, and he admitted it was a difficult question to answer, especially when considering regrets.

I believe in fully embracing life or not changing a thing. Either you accept your life exactly as it is – including the difficult parts, mistakes, and setbacks – and recognize that these experiences lead to growth, understanding, and stronger connections with others, or you don’t change anything at all.

It’s a delicate system where altering even a small part requires adjustments throughout the entire structure. It’s easily disrupted, like a house of cards.

For an artist, the goal is to transform personal experiences into work that resonates with others, offering them a way to process their own emotions. Without lived experience, it’s difficult to create truly meaningful art.

If I could start over, I’d completely change my life to be carefree and joyful, but that would mean giving up my art, which I wouldn’t want to do.

Stranger Things fans divided over allegations

Okay, so I’ve been seeing a lot of chatter from fellow Stranger Things fans about the stuff that’s been said about Millie Bobby Brown, and honestly, it’s pretty split. A lot of us are taking it with a grain of salt and aren’t fully buying into it.

People on Reddit are holding off on believing the news until it’s reported by more reliable entertainment sources like Variety or Deadline, as they don’t trust the Daily Mail. Many are waiting for confirmation from established entertainment reporters before accepting it as true.

Another person agreed, saying they felt the same way. They mentioned that with Lily Allen’s new album release (which they enjoyed), the artist in question is currently facing a lot of negative attention, and tabloids like the Daily Mail often exaggerate stories at times like these. They plan to wait for a more trustworthy news source to confirm the information before believing it.

While some remain skeptical, others are starting to believe the reports. One person pointed out that although the Daily Mail isn’t always reliable, it’s notable that no one connected to the story has yet confirmed or denied it.

One person posted on X (formerly Twitter), expressing dismay that many are dismissing Millie Bobby Brown’s claims against David Harbour. They questioned why it’s difficult to believe a 50-year-old man would harass and bully a 20-year-old woman.

Many people are saying they need evidence before they’ll believe it. As one person put it, they won’t just take someone’s word for it, and another asked for official proof.

The first part of Stranger Things Season 5 will be available on Netflix starting November 26th. The second part arrives on Christmas Day, and the series will conclude with the finale on New Year’s Eve 2025.
