December 19th 2025.
Actor David Harbour has backed out of an upcoming Stranger Things event due to scheduling conflicts. The 50-year-old, who plays Jim Hopper on the popular Netflix series, was set to attend the Stranger Things: The Final Season Celebration at New York's Paley Center tonight. However, his name is now missing from the event page, with a spokesperson for the venue confirming that he will not be present due to a scheduling conflict. This news comes shortly after reports that Millie Bobby Brown, who plays Eleven on the show, has also pulled out of the event while recovering from an injury.
Harbour's absence from the event also follows reports that he was involved in an altercation at a gastropub in Encitas, California. According to TMZ, the actor allegedly snatched a fan's hat and attempted to run away with it. However, Harbour has not publicly addressed the incident. It is important to note that there is no evidence of a physical altercation.
The actor's cancellation may come as a disappointment to fans, as he was set to appear at the event to celebrate the final season of Stranger Things. However, this is not the first time Harbour has made headlines this year. His ex-wife, Lily Allen, recently released an album titled West End Girl, which many have interpreted as referencing their marriage. The album includes lyrics about the breakdown of their relationship, including allegations of infidelity.
In the album, Allen appears to reveal that they had an open relationship, but accuses Harbour of pushing the boundaries and cheating on her with a woman referred to as "Madeline." However, American costume designer Natalie Tippett has since come forward as the woman behind the moniker, denying any affair with the actor and receiving hateful messages in return.
Harbour and Allen met on the dating app Raya and married in Las Vegas in 2020. In February of this year, they confirmed their divorce. Harbour has not publicly addressed the allegations of infidelity.
In addition to these headlines, it was also reported that Harbour faced bullying and harassment complaints from his Stranger Things co-star, Millie Bobby Brown, before filming for the final season began. However, neither Brown nor Harbour have publicly addressed these claims.
The Mail on Sunday reported that an internal investigation was launched after Brown filed a complaint against Harbour, alleging pages and pages of accusations. According to a report from Variety, the investigation was resolved. Co-creators and showrunners of the series, Matt and Ross Duffer, were asked about the allegations at the season five premiere, but declined to comment on personal matters. They did, however, express their care for the cast and the importance of creating a safe and happy work environment.
In light of these recent events, it is understandable that Harbour has pulled out of the Stranger Things event due to scheduling conflicts. Metro has reached out to his representatives for comment.
