David Harbour has now addressed his alleged 'feud' with Stranger Things co-star Millie Bobby Brown following harassment and bullying claims.
Speaking to Variety in a new interview published today (10 June), the 51-year-old actor opened up about the stress he endured following what he dubbed 'false reporting'.
Last November, the Daily Mail published reports that 22-year-old Brown had 'filed a harassment and bullying claim' against him before filming for the final Stranger Things season kicked off.
Netflix viewers will know that Harbour plays Chief of Police Jim Hopper while Brown portrays his adopted daughter, Eleven.

The outlet claimed that Brown allegedly complained about his behaviour towards her.
A source told the outlet at the time: "Millie Bobby Brown filed a harassment and bullying claim before they started shooting the last season. There were pages and pages of accusations. The investigation went on for months."
The allegations did not include claims of sexual impropriety.
The story came out a week after the release of his ex-wife Lily Allen's West End Girl album.
On the record, she details their relationship breakdown and chronicles the alleged betrayals in their four-year marriage, which led to its eventual end early last year.
Harbour has since called the timing of the story 'a weird thing' and said it came 'in a weird way'.
"Straight up, Millie and I are working on several …" Harbour began before stopping himself from revealing their upcoming projects. "You’ll see more of me and Millie — 10 years wasn’t enough. There is a special bond there. I love her. She loves me."
Brown has also since addressed the 'feud' claims.
"Obviously, I changed so much from Season 1 to Season 5, and David was there through all of it," Brown told Variety via an email statement.
"Over time, our relationship became much more collaborative creatively. When you work with someone for that many years, we could really push each other emotionally in scenes. Even though the series has ended, there’s still a lot of gratitude."
She concluded: "Getting to share that experience with him for so many years is something I’ll always remember and value."
Harbour has previously opened up about his working relationship with Brown.
He said on That Scene with Dan Patrick in 2021: "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.
“I have a real protective feeling for her. I have a real, like, worry. I worry about her and the fame and all that she has to struggle with. And I’ve just always felt this kind of deep fatherly affection for her."
Tyla has reached out to Millie Bobby Brown's representatives for further comment.
