Millie Bobby Brown is sharing where her friendship stands with Stranger Things costar David Harbour after reports alleged she filed a harassment complaint against him.
The Hollywood Reporter asked the actress, 21, about putting on a united front with Harbour, 50, and the rest of the cast at the Nov. 6 premiere of the show’s final season held in Los Angeles.
“We’ve been doing that for the last 10 years. I mean, we have always been united in that,” Brown told the outlet in a story published Nov. 26. “We love this show with everything, and we value our friendship more than anything.”

Brown, who has played Eleven on Stranger Things since the hit Netflix series debuted in 2016, added that it was “so nice” sharing scenes with Harbour, who plays dad Jim Hopper, on the latest season. The first four episodes of season 5, Volume 1 premiered on Netflix on Nov. 26.
“It was quite nostalgic because it reminded me so much of season 2 and 3, where we’re both kind of butting heads and she’s growing up, she’s trying to find her own voice and he’s trying to parent, and that dynamic definitely comes back into play once again, and I’m really excited for people to see that,” said Brown.

On Nov. 1, the Daily Mail reported that an unnamed source alleged that Brown filed a bullying and harassment complaint against Harbour before production began on season 5. Allegedly, there was a months-long investigation about the complaint, and Brown had a representative with her on set while filming, according to the outlet.
Reps for Netflix, Brown and Harbour did not responded to multiple requests from PEOPLE for comment at the time.
Brown and Harbour smiled and laughed for the cameras while posing together on the red carpet at the season 5 premiere just days after the news made headlines.
She told Entertainment Tonight at that event, “I’ve obviously had a really special bond with David because we have a father-daughter relationship, and we do every scene together. … It’s been so special to have him along the journey for me.”

Additionally, Harbour told the outlet of his costar, “I adore her” and praised the rest of the cast: “I’ve been proud to watch all of 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.”
Stranger Things co-creator Ross Duffer was asked about the alleged harassment complaint while at the premiere, telling THR: “Obviously, you understand I can’t get into personal on-set 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.”
He added that “nothing matters more than just having a set where everyone feels safe and happy.”
Volume 1 of Stranger Things season 5 is now streaming on Netflix. Volume 2 drops Dec. 25, followed by the finale on Dec. 31.
