New Accusation Against ‘Stranger Things’ Star David Harbour
David Harbour, the star of Netflix’s hit series “Stranger Things,” has found himself at the center of a bizarre and controversial incident in Encinitas, California. According to reports from TMZ, the 50-year-old actor was accused of stealing a fan’s hat during an altercation that unfolded over the weekend.
Surveillance Footage Reveals Incident
The alleged incident took place at the Encinitas Ale House, where Harbour entered the venue and soon after exited with a white hat in his hand. A video surveillance recording viewed by TMZ showed Harbour running back outside and yelling, “C’mon, dude! F–king get me!” A witness told the outlet that Harbour walked by the bar with a friend and the fan with the hat came out to say “hi.”
The situation escalated when an irritated patron appeared, putting his hands up and asking, “What the f–k did I do to you, dude?” Moments later, several people emerged from the bar to see what was happening. A woman shouted, “Don’t get into a fight,” as Harbour returned inside with his cap.
Behavioral Issues Spark Speculation
A source with direct knowledge told TMZ that Harbour’s bipolar disorder may be to blame for his erratic behavior during the incident. This comes on the heels of Harbour’s ongoing personal struggles, including a messy divorce from Lily Allen and filming multiple projects simultaneously.
In 2018, Harbour revealed in an interview that he had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder when he was 25 years old. He previously shared that his mental health issues were so severe that his parents checked him into an asylum.
The insider added, “David has always been honest about managing his bipolar disorder. Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what he’s dealing with here after working non-stop all year and having his personal life under public scrutiny.”
Previous Controversies and Current Situation
This is not the first time Harbour has faced controversy. In November, a report surfaced alleging that Harbour had bullied and harassed his “Stranger Things” co-star Millie Bobby Brown. However, they put on a united front at the Netflix show’s Season 5 premiere.
Harbour’s current situation with his divorce from Allen adds another layer of stress to his life.
The 40-year-old singer implied that Harbour cheated on her despite them having an “open” marriage. These recent events have placed additional pressure on Harbour, who has been working tirelessly to maintain his career while dealing with personal challenges.
Page Six has reached out to Harbour’s representatives for comment but did not receive a response as of press time.
Conclusion
The incident involving David Harbour at the Encinitas Ale House highlights the complex lives of celebrities, especially those managing mental health issues. As Harbour navigates his personal and professional life, it is crucial to understand that behind every public persona lies a person dealing with real-life struggles.
For now, fans will have to wait for official statements from Harbour’s representatives regarding these recent events. Until then, the community watches closely as another chapter unfolds in the life of one of Hollywood’s most recognizable actors.
