Stranger Thingsactor David Harbour is reportedly no longer attending a Stranger Things finale event, following reports of recent erratic behavior. The event, Stranger Things: The Final Season Celebration, is taking place at the Paley Center in New York City on Dec. 18, and although Harbour was initially set to attend, his name is no longer appearing on the list of guests.

According to People, a Paley Center spokesperson stated that Harbour's absence at the event was due to a scheduling conflict. However, speculation has grown that this change has something to do with Harbour's recent alleged erratic behavior on Dec. 13.

Per TMZ, Harbour was seen in video footage exiting a gastropub in Encinitas, Calif., holding a white hat and yelling for someone to come get him. Profanities were exchanged, and tensions appeared high, but the video did not show a physical altercation between Harbour and the other gastropub patron.

Parade has reached out to Harbour's representatives for comment.

Although the two incidents are not confirmed to be related, People also reported that, on the same day, the San Diego County Sheriff's Office took an "adult male who was experiencing a mental health crisis" into custody, and he was placed on a 72-hour hold.

It's unclear at this point whether those events are in any way related. It's likewise unclear (and will presumably remain so) whether Harbour's behavior at the gastropub has anything to do with him missing this Stranger Things event.

Harbour isn't the only major Stranger Things star missing out on the celebration. Leading actress Millie Bobby Brown, who plays super-powered character Eleven/Jane on the show, will also not be in attendance. Brown's absence is reportedly linked to an injury she recently sustained to her arm, which has resulted in other press tour cancellations as well.

Both updates also come on the heels of recent reports that Brown had filed bullying and harassment claims against Harbour before Stranger Things Season 5 began filming, although those rumors have been debunked, with even Stranger Things executive producer Shawn Levy weighing in to say the reports are inaccurate.

While those rumors have largely been put to bed, though, Harbour's absence at this Stranger Things event continues to raise questions.
