David Harbour, the Emmy-nominated star known for his role in the hit series Stranger Things, may face significant challenges in his career following serious allegations involving both his estranged wife, Lily Allen, and his co-star, Millie Bobby Brown. Reports have surfaced that Lily Allen has accused Harbour of infidelity during their marriage, which has contributed to the couple’s separation. Compounding these personal troubles, Millie Bobby Brown has made complaints regarding alleged bullying and harassment by Harbour, which she cited as occurring before the final season of Stranger Things was filmed.
The weight of these allegations has led some industry insiders to express concern about the potential impact on Harbour’s career. A source described the situation as “the equivalent of Armageddon,” suggesting that the fallout could threaten his standing in Hollywood just as the final season of Stranger Things is set to debut. Indeed, the timing of these revelations poses a significant dilemma not just for Harbour but also for Netflix executives, who are gearing up for the series’ conclusion.
While details of the alleged bullying behaviors remain undisclosed, reports clarify that they do not involve sexual harassment. Interestingly, despite the ongoing tension, Brown and Harbour were recently seen at a promotional event smiling together, which some observers interpreted as an attempt to downplay the allegations.
Moreover, the situation between Harbour and Allen suggests complications beyond just infidelity; there are claims that he pressured her into an open marriage, which allegedly contributed to the unravelling of their relationship.
Despite the current media scrutiny, Harbour may have opportunities to rebuild his public image through upcoming projects. He has several film releases scheduled, including the animated feature Goat, set to be released in February.
As fans eagerly await the final episodes of Stranger Things, slated for release on Christmas Day with the series finale on New Year’s Eve, the lingering questions about Harbour’s future in the industry add an unexpected layer of drama to the conclusion of such a beloved series.
As the entertainment world watches closely, the hope remains that Harbour can navigate this tumultuous period and find a path back into the good graces of his fans and the industry.
