Speaking to Deadline at a press junket, Brown addressed inquiries about her working environment with Harbour. “Of course I felt safe,” she stated. “We’ve worked together for 10 years; I felt safe with everyone on that set.” Their shared journey through intense scenes, especially in the gripping second season of Stranger Things, has naturally fostered a deep connection between them.

Motivation and Mutual Respect
The actress described how Harbour’s commitment inspires her. “It makes me want to bring my A-game every single time I see that I’m on the call sheet with him because I know he’s bringing it right back. Definitely sometimes it’s a wake-up call.” Her words reflect mutual respect and a shared dedication to their craft.
These affirmations follow a Daily Mail report alleging Brown filed claims of harassment against Harbour with the show’s producers. However, both actors appeared to downplay such claims, smiling together at the Stranger Things Season 5 premiere.
Reiterating a Strong Bond
While rumors continue to circulate, Brown’s recent interviews reiterate her positive experiences working with Harbour. “We’ve been doing that for the last 10 years,” she told the Hollywood Reporter. “We have always been united in that. We love this show with everything, and we value our friendship more than anything.”
Reflecting on their characters’ evolving dynamic, she noted, “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 expressed excitement for fans to witness these interactions again, highlighting some of the series’ most beloved scenes.
Brown’s comments serve as a testament to the enduring bond and mutual admiration shared between her and Harbour, signaling continued dedication to their iconic roles.
