Amidst claims of a hidden feud amongst the Stranger Things cast, Millie Bobby Brown has admitted to a “mild depression” after filming the show.

The Stranger Things kids quite literally grew up together, but with the release of the final season, rumours started to swirl about beef on set. It was a combination of multiple tidbits, including claims that David Harbour bullied Millie, the numerous scandals surrounding Noah Schnapp, reported beef between Millie and Winona Ryder, and general animosity on set.

Nothing was ever explicitly confirmed, but it’s been a looming question since Stranger Things wrapped.

In a sitdown with the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Millie Bobby Brown admitted that she experienced a “mild depression” after filming wrapped.

She spent weeks on an apology tour, convinced that she’d angered her fellow castmates in some form.

“They probably thought I was crazy. I kept asking: ‘We’re still friends, right? You’re not going to stop talking to me, are you?’” she said.

“I also said: ‘I’m sorry if I ever hurt you in any way.’ I just wanted to fix anything that might have been left unresolved. I thought: ‘It’s been 10 years, and I really want to keep being your friend. You’re like a brother to me.’ So I was at the beach, everything was beautiful, and I just sat down and started crying. It was a really tough moment.”

Though she didn’t reveal why she was convinced of her own wrongdoing, Millie noted how her relationships with the cast are more like family.

“And no one will ever truly understand that. I started the series at 10 years old, and that character was part of who I am. These people have been in my life more than my own family. I spent more time with them than at home, having dinner with my family. Saying goodbye to that after 10 years was something extremely emotional. I’ll miss Eleven more than anything else,” she added.

She did not comment on the current state of her relationships.
