Once celebrated as Hollywood's favourite gruff-but-lovable father figure, David Harbour is swiftly finding himself at the centre of a perfect storm that threatens to dismantle his career. The Stranger Things actor is currently fighting a war on two fronts: his private life has been flayed open by estranged wife Lily Allen's chart-topping record, while his professional reputation faces a potentially fatal blow from none other than his on-screen daughter, Millie Bobby Brown.

According to explosive new reports, Harbour, 50, is 'fighting to save his Hollywood career' after being hit by a double whammy of allegations. Insiders reveal that whilst he was already reeling from the release of Allen's scathing new album, West End Girl, a far more damaging narrative has emerged from the set of Netflix's flagship show.

Sources claim that Brown, 21, lodged a formal complaint against the actor, accusing him of bullying and harassment prior to the filming of the series' final season.

The timing could not be more catastrophic for the star. Sources close to the situation suggest that Harbour was 'already on the ropes' following the release of Allen's album. The British singer, 40, has reportedly used her latest musical offering to skewer her ex-husband, with tracks that paint a vivid picture of a 'shameless skirt-chaser.'

The lyrics appear to confirm rumours that the implosion of their four-year marriage was fuelled by infidelity and Harbour's alleged insistence on an open relationship—a dynamic that reportedly left Allen heartbroken.

While the tabloid frenzy surrounding his marriage was damaging, the allegations from his co-star have struck at the heart of his professional integrity.

For years, the public has adored the close, paternal bond Harbour and Brown appeared to share during press tours and red carpet events. However, the reality behind the scenes of the hit sci-fi drama appears to be far starker.

Insiders told RadarOnline.com that Brown accused her screen dad of 'harassment and bullying' before cameras rolled on the final season.

Although details of the specific incidents remain under tight wraps, sources are keen to clarify that the British actress did not accuse Harbour of sexual harassment. Instead, the complaint reportedly focuses on an aggressive on-set demeanour that allegedly created a hostile working environment.

The severity of the situation has reportedly triggered an internal review by show bosses, casting a long shadow over what should be a celebratory conclusion to the franchise. 'David is known for being one of the most ruthlessly ambitious actors out there, so for him, this scandal is the equivalent of Armageddon,' an insider revealed.

The source added that the timing is a 'total disaster,' noting that Netflix executives are 'taking a very dim view' of a controversy that reflects poorly on the production and threatens to derail the show's promotional campaign.

The stakes for Harbour could not be higher. Having reportedly pressured Allen into an open marriage—only to allegedly develop feelings for his mistress—the actor's 'nice guy' persona has been thoroughly dismantled.

Now, industry observers believe the combination of his ex-wife's lyrical exposé and his co-star's official complaint could be the 'final nail in his career coffin.'

'David swears he's innocent and that these claims have no merit,' the insider continued. 'But it's opened a real can of worms that could get very ugly if more people come forward to call out his behaviour in any way.'

The fear within Harbour's camp is that the two scandals will feed into one another. There is a growing concern that West End Girl will serve as character evidence for those within the industry looking to distance themselves from him.

'He's smart enough to know Lily's album will be Exhibit A for anyone else accusing him of wrongdoing, and that he's one step away from being totally cancelled,' the source claimed.

While Harbour reportedly retains allies on the Stranger Things set and within the broader acting community, the tide is turning dangerously fast. As Netflix executives monitor the fallout of the internal review, and with the public devouring every word of Allen's vengeance-fuelled tracks, one thing is certain: there are 'a lot of people baying for his blood.'
