Millie Bobby Brown dépose plainte contre David Harbour : Stranger Things secoué avant sa dernière saison
À quelques semaines de la sortie tant attendue de la cinquième et ultime saison de Stranger Things, une affaire éclate en coulisses. Millie Bobby Brown aurait déposé une plainte pour harcèlement et intimidation contre son partenaire de jeu David Harbour. Netflix, pris de court, a ouvert une enquête interne alors que les tensions s’invitent sur le plateau de l’une de ses séries les plus populaires.
Un tournage sous haute tension
Des plaintes “pages et pages” contre David Harbour
Publicités
D’après un rapport du Daily Mail, Millie Bobby Brown aurait adressé à Netflix une plainte comportant « des pages et des pages » d’allégations visant David Harbour, l’interprète du shérif Jim Hopper. Ces accusations portent sur des faits de harcèlement, d’intimidation et de comportements jugés inappropriés durant le tournage. Le studio aurait été alerté avant même le début des prises de vue de la saison 5, amorcées en janvier 2024.Une année de tournage marquée par les tensions
Le tournage de la dernière saison s’est étalé sur douze mois, de janvier à décembre 2024, dans un climat apparemment tendu. Selon plusieurs témoins, les échanges entre Millie Bobby Brown et David Harbour auraient souvent dégénéré, au point de créer une atmosphère pesante sur le plateau. Aucune allégation d’ordre sexuel n’a été mentionnée, mais de nombreux techniciens et acteurs auraient confirmé des épisodes d’insultes et de remarques humiliantes.Netflix au cœur de la tempête
Une enquête interne déclenchée avant la sortie de la série
Publicités
Face à la gravité des accusations, Netflix aurait rapidement ordonné une enquête interne. Le géant du streaming aurait recueilli de nombreux témoignages détaillant des comportements récurrents de harcèlement moral. Ces révélations surviennent à un moment particulièrement critique : la première partie de la saison 5 doit sortir le 27 novembre, après trois ans d’attente des fans, déjà marquée par les grèves des scénaristes et des acteurs à Hollywood.Un coût colossal pour une production fragilisée
La plateforme a investi plus de 400 millions de dollars dans cette ultime saison, présentée comme la conclusion d’un phénomène mondial. L’affaire tombe donc au plus mauvais moment pour Netflix, qui espérait un lancement triomphal. En interne, l’inquiétude serait palpable : la polémique pourrait affecter la réception du show, pourtant attendu comme l’un des plus grands succès de la plateforme en 2025.Millie Bobby Brown, une actrice en quête de protection
Des mesures exceptionnelles sur le plateau
Publicités
Âgée de 21 ans, Millie Bobby Brown aurait pris la décision de se protéger activement. Durant tout le tournage, elle aurait exigé la présence constante d’un représentant du personnel à ses côtés, une mesure rare dans l’industrie. Ce dernier aurait joué un rôle de médiateur, veillant à éviter tout débordement ou comportement abusif. Cette précaution illustre la gravité du malaise ressenti par la jeune actrice, devenue une figure incontournable de la série depuis son lancement en 2016.Un silence total des principaux intéressés
Jusqu’à présent, ni Netflix, ni Millie Bobby Brown, ni David Harbour n’ont réagi publiquement. Ce silence nourrit les spéculations et alimente l’embarras de la production. Plusieurs sources proches du tournage évoquent toutefois un climat professionnel détérioré, où la cohésion d’équipe aurait été sérieusement mise à mal. Cette situation fait d’autant plus écho aux tensions passées entre les deux acteurs, dont la relation à l’écran, déjà marquée par une dynamique conflictuelle, semble s’être prolongée hors caméra.Stranger Things face à sa plus grande épreuve
Une image écornée avant le grand final
Publicités
L’affaire survient alors que Stranger Things s’apprête à tirer sa révérence après près d’une décennie de succès mondial. La série, devenue un symbole de la culture pop des années 2010, se retrouve confrontée à un scandale interne qui menace d’éclipser la sortie de ses derniers épisodes. Pour Netflix, il s’agit désormais de concilier gestion de crise et stratégie de communication, tout en préservant la confiance du public.Une ombre sur la conclusion d’un phénomène mondial
Le retour tant attendu d’Eleven et de ses amis devait être un événement majeur pour les fans. Mais cette controverse, qui met en cause deux de ses figures principales, jette une ombre sur l’un des projets les plus ambitieux du géant du streaming. En attendant les résultats de l’enquête et la sortie officielle des épisodes, une chose est sûre : l’univers de Stranger Things semble plus agité que jamais, des plateaux de tournage aux coulisses.Alors que Netflix s’efforce de gérer la situation, les fans espèrent que cette affaire ne ternira pas la conclusion d’une saga devenue culte. Le sort de la série repose désormais autant sur la qualité de son scénario que sur la capacité de la production à apaiser les tensions et restaurer la confiance au sein de son équipe.

VTDigger: Orleans County senator resigns following leaked racist group chat. “In a June exchange between former New York State Young Republicans co-chair Bobby Walker and chair Peter Giunta, Walker mentioned a mutual friend who had dated an ‘obese Indian woman,’ according to the report. Giunta replied that the woman was not Indian, to which Douglass responded: ‘She just didn’t bathe often.'”

On Friday, the Supreme Court decided to hear a case,
Braidwood Mgmt., Inc. v. Becerra,
that will decide the constitutionality of the preventable care requirements of the Affordable Care Act, or ACA.Under the ACA, health insurers are obligated to cover preventative health services at no cost to the patient.
This includes everything from vaccines against deadly viruses
to breast and cervical cancer screenings,
to statins for heart disease.It also notably includes HIV prevention under that umbrella—and for good reason.
Not only is it the humane thing to do,
it also saves health insurers a lot of money.
Just as it’s far cheaper to conduct a pap smear and catch cervical cancer in its early stages than it is to provide end-of-life care for those about to succumb to the disease,
so too does preventative care lessen the burden of HIV on patients, doctors, and insurers.This particular lawsuit originated in Texas,
where a handful of Christian businessowners objected to providing the HIV prevention drug regimen known as PrEP to their employees.
One of the employers is represented by the #Stephen #Miller–led legal group "America First Lega"l,
which argued that the requirement
“promotes homosexual behavior”
and therefore violates its client’s
“religious beliefs by making him complicit in encouraging those behaviors.”In his ruling, a Trump-appointed federal judge specifically carved out HIV prevention as a violation of the employers’ constitutional rights,
writing that the PrEP mandate “substantially burdens [their] religious exercise.”
The case then went to the conservative-leaning Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals,
which ruled the requirement is unconstitutional because the
"U.S. Preventative Services Task Force", or USPSTF,
which decides what preventative care services should be covered under the ACA,
is not appointed by the president and approved by Congress.
Put differently, 👉the Fifth Circuit is upset that basic medical decisions are decided by an independent volunteer panel of national experts in disease prevention and evidence-based medicine,
and not by a group of appointees with a political agenda.For now, the Fifth Circuit’s ruling only applies to the Texas businessowners who have won the right to deny HIV care to their employees.
💥But if SCOTUS rules in the Christian employers’ favor, Trump will appoint members to the USPSTF,
and the Republican-majority Congress will then be allowed to confirm his choices.The fallout of this decision would not only impact those at high risk of contracting HIV.
With public health potentially falling under the auspices of noted vaccine-cynic #Bobby #Kennedy Jr.,
parents with immune-compromised children will have another reason to worry -- that their child’s classmates aren’t up to date with their vaccines.A woo-woo “wellness”-obsessed Department of Health and Human Services secretary could also decide that mental illnesses,
such as anxiety and depression,
are best treated with meditation and the like, and cut mental and behavioral health services from the preventative care requirement.
But the fallout from this change in command may fall most cruelly on those who live with HIV,
who have benefited from considerable medical advancement since the bad old days of Jesse Helms.https://newrepublic.com/article/190167/supreme-court-hiv-prep-obamacare

1000 Day Album Challenge (#20) Television: The Blow-Up (1982) [20.01.24]
let me take you to the empty place in my fire engine…
The Blow-Up was recorded live at My Father’s Place in Roslyn, New York in March of 1978. it was released in 1982 by ROIR (Reachout International Records) available only on cassette. at the time ROIR was a cassette-only label. scanning their discography (https://www.discogs.com/label/18316-ROIR?sort=year&sort_order=asc), my count is that I owned five of their releases. I do believe this was my most cherished.
Television was a mainstay of the mid- to late-70s CBGBs scene that was ground zero to the creation of punk rock. they never achieved the mainstream success and cultural cache of Talking Heads, Ramones, Blondie, or Patti Smith. still they were the first from the scene to play the legendary club. they were kinda the advance team. in 1974, they were also the first to release a record, the single Little Johnny Jewel which extended over both sides of their Ork Records release. and then somehow, they were among the last to release an album, Marquee Moon (1977).
this tape is about the joy of rock guitar. which I guess in some respects makes it no different than the rest of Television’s limited output. first up is The Blow-Up which is a renamed cover of 13th Floor Elevators’ Fire Engine. just before Tom Verlaine begins singing you can hear someone in the crowd identify the song as Fire Engine. it seems obvious to me, from this song alone that this is a band in search of transcendence powered by a driving rock beat. the weaving interplay of Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd’s guitars blows me away.
there are a couple of more covers to mention. I never would have thought of Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door as a guitar song until Television showed me how limited my imagination was. I am realizing, perhaps for the first time, as I listen to his that their version is a Cortez The Killer for the punk rock generation. someone just shouted “go boy! go!” hey, that’s what I was thinking.
the tape concludes with a galvanic version of The Stones’ Satisfaction. John Piccarella and Robert Christgau wrote in the liner notes, “And Lloyd, always constrained by the necessity of getting his solos and rhythm riffs just right in the studio, goes nuts here--what he wanted to express on `Satisfaction' was so beyond his chops that he would regularly unwind his bottom E string, twist it behind the neck, and tense the guitar like an archer's bow, producing the unearthly noises preserved for posterity on this cassette.”
you may ask why is a punk rock band covering all of these sixties’ classics? unlike the later starting British punk scene which had the sense that they were destroying or leaving behind what had come before, the New York scene had a stronger sense of history. they viewed themselves as part of a continuum. think of Patti Smith’s gender-bending transformation of Them’s Gloria or Land in which she completely reimagined the classic, Land of a Thousand Dances. shit the Ramones and Blondie were grounded in sixties AM radio classic pop.
there is a particular standout here that is quite forward-looking. the near 15 minute version of Little Johnny Jewel is definitive. if this doesn’t do it for you then there really is no reason for you to checkout the rest of their music. it’s not for you.
as the song nears the halfway point it seems like it is coming to an end. the idea that they can take this interpretation further seems preposterous. in a near whisper, Tom Verlaine says/sings, “then he loses his senses” and we are off. it’s like a whole new song. having listened to this countless times I found myself in an excited state of anticipation as the midpoint change of pace approached.
Tom Verlaine’s performance here, by itself makes him one of my favorite guitarists ever. I truly am breathless as I listen and type. wow! I feel like the term lifechanging does not capture the hyperbole for which I’m searching. maybe on the next listen the right word(s) will find me.

Pildes, the NYU professor, said that while he was concerned about efforts to block certification at the local level,
he was confident that state courts could resolve any disputes by the time the electors meet.A new law, the 🔸Electoral Count Reform Act🔸, should provide a significant new layer of protection against election subversion.
The bipartisan bill passed Congress at the end of 2022.
The law makes it so that Trump and his allies cannot repeat what they did in 2020 and submit false slates of electors from key swing states.
Significantly, it says that the slate of electors submitted by a state’s executive is the legitimate slate and raises the threshold in both houses of Congress to object to the electoral result.
While the law controls what Congress must do once it receives certificates from electors,
it doesn’t have much to say about what must happen in the lead-up to the electoral college vote.🔥That could leave a lot of wriggle room for Trump and allies to try to slow down certification and go to court to try to force states to miss their certification deadline.
After Donald Trump nearly succeeded in overturning the 2020 election, ❓is the US better prepared to stop a similar effort in 2024?❓
Lawyers and other activists say they are ready, having spent the last four years studying and understanding the vulnerabilities that Trump and allies targeted in 2020.
Any effort to block certification is likely to be swiftly challenged in courts,
where Trump has already been unsuccessful dozens of times.The new Electoral Count Reform Act should offer additional safeguards should there be an effort such as there was in 2020 to get Congress to stop its certification of the vote
Yet it would be a mistake to dismiss the threat altogether.
The same pressure points that existed in 2020 exist in 2024,
and in some places election deniers have been elevated to positions of power.“This has started earlier in the cycle and is louder and is more consistent,” said Morales-Doyle of the Brennan Center.
“That is all just at a different level than it was before 2020.”

Any effort to challenge the election results will probably start at the local level.
Just as there was in 2020, there’s likely to be a period of uncertainty after election day when votes are still being counted in key swing states.
Two of those, 🔹Wisconsin and 🔹Pennsylvania, still do not allow election officials to begin to process mail-in ballots until election day.
“I’m definitely concerned that you’re gonna have a lot of efforts to disturb the process of counting those votes, if we go into the late evening, early hours of the next day and all of that,”
said Richard Pildes, a professor at New York University who specializes in election law.The observers amassed by Cleta Mitchell and the RNC could have a significant role.
In 2020, chaotic confrontations at polling sites offered #misleading #evidence
that Trump and allies used in their effort to try to overturn the election.Trump’s effort to challenge the election results in 🔹Arizona, for example, was undergirded by #affidavits from observers and poll watchers who falsely claimed they saw ballots being
❌ rejected because of the type of pen voters were using.In 🔹Georgia, Trump pointed to reports from observers in Atlanta falsely claiming they were
❌removed from the facility where mail-in ballots were counted.In 🔹Michigan, Trump’s team used as evidence an “incident report” from an election observer who falsely said she heard workers giving instructions to
❌ count a rejected ballot.Accusations of fraud may find a receptive audience at #county #boards responsible for certifying elections.
Until 2020, no one gave much thought to these positions, sometimes filled by elected officials and other times by little-known party loyalists.
In 2020, Trump’s campaign made a strong effort to try to ⚠️delay certification at the local and state level as part of his effort to overturn the election.
In Wayne county, home of 🔹Detroit, Trump personally called two Republican canvassers on the board responsible for certifying the vote there. The two officials ⚠️briefly #refused to certify, then #reversed themselves and did.
At the state level, Aaron Van Langevelde, a Republican on the state board of canvassers, faced ⚠️pressure not to certify the vote, but decided to anyway.
In 🔹Wisconsin, Republicans nearly got the state supreme court to ⚠️block certification of the state’s election.
In 🔹Arizona, Trump called the then governor, Doug Ducey, as he was certifying the vote amid a pressure campaign to ⚠️stop the certification of votes there.
