    Millie Bobby Brown says she and David Harbour value their friendship "more than anything"

    The 21-year-old star has insisted she and her Stranger Things castmate - who plays her character Eleven's on-screen dad Jim Hopper - have "always" put on a united front after being asked about their appearance together at the Netflix show's world premiere earlier this month following a report alleging she accused him of bullying and harassment on set.


    Asked by it was important to show a united front amid the allegations, she told The Hollywood Reporter: "We've been doing that for the last 10 years.

    "I mean, we have always been united in that. We love this show with everything, and we value our friendship more than anything."

    A report from the Daily Mail newspaper claimed that Millie filed a complaint against her 50-year-old co-star before they started filming the fifth and final season of Stranger Things.

    Neither of the actors have addressed the report, while Millie insisted it was "so nice" to reunite with David for the fifth season.

    She told THR: "It was quite nostalgic because it reminded me so much of season two and three, 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.

    "And I think some of people's favorite scenes of Eleven are Ele and [Hopper], so I'm really excited to have that come to screen once again."

    Following the alleged report, Stranger Things co-creator brothers Matt and Ross Duffer were asked about the bullying claims.

    Ross told the same outlet at the LA premiere: "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.

    "So, you know, nothing matters more than just having a set where everyone feels safe and happy."

    The show's director and ex ecutive producer Shawn Levy insisted the team are "proud" of being able to "create a respectful workplace where everyone feels comfortable and safe".

    Asked how they handle a bullying complaint, he added: "I've read a bunch of stories and they range from wildly inaccurate to ... there's so much noise around it.

    "But the truth is that we view this crew and this cast as family, and so we treat each other with respect, and that's always been bedrock."
