Millie Bobby Brown holds back tears in final ‘Stranger Things’ table read with David Harbour following bullying claims

Millie Bobby Brown fought back tears during her final “Stranger Things” table read with co-star David Harbour after she allegedly accused him of bullying.

The emotional behind-the-scenes moment was captured in Netflix’s “One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5” documentary, which premiered Jan. 7.

The cast was seen rehearsing the script during the scene in which Brown’s character, Eleven, has an emotional moment with Harbour’s character, David Hopper, who plays her on-screen father figure.

“When you found me in the woods, I was just a kid,” Brown said, reciting the lines she said in the moments before her character goes after the evil monster Vecna.

“I was scared. I didn’t understand this world, didn’t understand people. But you took me in and you taught me,” she continued.

Brown, 21, stopped to look up at Harbour from across the room, and they gazed at each other with bittersweet expressions.

She choked back tears before reading out to him, “You protected me, you raised me, you became my dad.”

Harbour, 50, was seen looking away after she delivered the powerful lines.

The heartbreaking exchange was captured during the cast’s table read for the series finale.

Ahead of the Season 5 premiere on Nov. 26, reports surfaced that there was on-set tension between Brown and Harbour.

Sources claimed to the Daily Mail that the “Enola Holmes” actress filed a lengthy complaint accusing Harbour of harassing and bullying her on set before they began filming the final season.

“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 — who was not allegedly accused of any sexual impropriety in the report — reportedly faced an internal investigation over Brown’s claims. Brown was also allegedly accompanied by a personal representative while filming the final episodes.

At the show’s Season 5 premiere event on Nov. 6, Brown and Harbour seemed to put the feud rumors to rest when they posed for photos together. However, a body language expert said that their friendly display on the red carpet was “overkill.”

Brown also praised Harbour, saying that they were “so lucky to have each other” and that the actor is “amazing.”

When asked about the reports, Brown spoke of maintaining a united front with Harbour.

“We love this show with everything, and we value our friendship more than anything,” she said.

She also confirmed in an interview with Deadline that she “felt safe” while filming with Harbour.

“Of course I felt safe, I mean, we’ve worked together for 10 years. I feel safe with everyone on that set,” she told the outlet.

“You naturally just… you know, you’ve been doing it for so long. We also play father and daughter, so naturally, we have a closer bond than the rest because we have had some really intense scenes together, especially in Season 2,” she added.

Brown was 12 years old when the series first premiered in 2016, while Harbour was about 41.

In 2021, Harbour opened up about their close bond.

“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,” he said on an episode of the “That Scene with Dan Patrick” podcast at the time.

“I have a real protective feeling for her. I have a real, like, worry,” he added. “I worry about her and the fame and all that she has to struggle with.”
