Deadline

"We looked into the concern that was raised when we heard of the allegation on Thursday, and found no wrongdoing," Netflix said of crew member Peyton Brown's allegation of  verbal abuse against women by the Stranger Things showrunners. "Maintaining a safe, respectful atmosphere on set is important to us, and we know it is to the Duffer Brothers as well.” The Duffer Brothers released their own statement, saying: “We are deeply upset to learn that someone felt uncomfortable on our set. Due to the high-stress nature of production, tempers occasionally get frayed, and for that, we apologize. However, we think it is important not to mischaracterize our set, where we believe strongly in treating everyone fairly regardless of gender, orientation, race, religion, or anything else. We remain totally committed to providing a safe and collaborative working environment for everyone on our productions.”
