Nearly four months after the Daily Mail<\/a> reported that the Stranger Things<\/a> actress allegedly filed a bullying and harassment claim against her costar, 50, ahead of filming season 5 of the Netflix show, the duo was spotted celebrating Brown\u2019s 22nd birthday at Maison Close Restaurant in New York City on Friday, Feb. 20. Brown turned 22 the day before.<\/p>\n In photos from her birthday celebrations, Brown could be seen arriving at the SoHo restaurant alongside her husband, Jake Bongiovi<\/a>, her grandparents and her mother. Shortly behind them, Harbour quietly arrived on his own, joining Jamie Campbell Bower<\/a>, Shawn Levy<\/a>, Whitney Leavitt<\/a>, Conner Leavitt<\/a> and Elena Taber for the festivities.<\/p>\n \u201c22. grateful for my husband and daughter. for my family and friends. all of my animals,\u201d Brown wrote on Instagram<\/a> alongside a photo of her and her daughter<\/a> sitting on a beach on Thursday, Feb. 19. \u201cI am so blessed. thank you for the birthday wishes.\u201d<\/p>\n KONY \/ BACKGRID<\/p>\n Despite reports that harassment claims against Harbour led to a \u201cmonths\u201d-long investigation into what a source said was \u201cpages and pages of accusations,\u201d Brown told The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> just weeks later that she and Harbour had been putting on a united front<\/a> \u201cfor the last 10 years.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe have always been united in that,\u201d she said in the Nov. 26 interview. \u201cWe love this show with everything, and we value our friendship more than anything.\u201d<\/p>\n Brown also expressed how nice it was to share scenes with Harbour, who plays Jim Hopper,\u00a0the adoptive father of her character, Eleven, on the Stranger Things set.<\/p>\n Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter<\/a> to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer\u200b\u200b, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.<\/p>\n KONY \/ BACKGRID<\/p>\n \u201cIt was quite nostalgic because it reminded me so much of season 2 and 3, where we\u2019re both kind of butting heads and she\u2019s growing up, she\u2019s trying to find her own voice and he\u2019s trying to parent, and that dynamic definitely comes back into play once again, and I\u2019m really excited for people to see that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n On Nov. 28, Brown further spoke to her and Harbour\u2019s relationship by emphasizing that she \u201cfelt safe\u201d<\/a> around the actor.<\/p>\n \u201cOf course I felt safe. I mean, we’ve worked together for 10 years,\u201d Brown told Deadline<\/a>. \u201cI feel safe with everyone on that set. You naturally just, you know … you’ve been doing it for so long.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe also play father and daughter, so naturally you have a closer bond than the rest, because we have had some really intense scenes together, especially in season 2,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n When it later came time for the Stranger Things cast to read the script for the show\u2019s final episode, Brown choked up as she read her character\u2019s final goodbye to Harbour\u2019s<\/a>, as seen in the Netflix documentary, One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5<\/a>.<\/p>\n “When you found me in the woods, I was just a kid,” Brown said, reading the scene between Eleven and Hopper. “I was scared. I didn’t understand this world, didn’t understand people. But you took me in and you taught me.”<\/p>\n She then paused to look at Harbour across the room with a sad smile on her face, choking up as she continued, “You protected me, you raised me, you became my dad.\u201d<\/p>\n Read the original article on People<\/a><\/p>\n![\"Millie](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3d0c863bf2972a146ada1e759b992b30.jpeg\"\/)
