Duffer Brothers Address Bullying Allegations at 'Stranger Things' Premiere
During the final season press tour of Stranger Things, a viral report surfaced claiming Millie Bobby Brown accused co-star David Harbour of harassment and bullying on set. Netflix and the show's creators have avoided discussing the topic publicly.
Cast's Response at the Premiere
Despite the rumors, Brown and Harbour appeared together, smiling, at the season five world premiere in Los Angeles. When asked about the bullying claims, co-creator Ross Duffer stated:
“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.”
Producer Shawn Levy on Workplace Environment
Director and executive producer Shawn Levy called parts of the report “wildly inaccurate.” Asked how the production ensures a safe and respectful environment, Levy answered:
“At the end of the day, that’s the job. 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.”
Summary
The Duffer Brothers and Shawn Levy firmly emphasize their commitment to maintaining a safe, supportive work environment, dismissing the bullying allegations as unfounded.
