Stranger Things Star Grace Van Dien Leaves Acting Behind for Twitch

1 year ago

As a result of on-set sexual misconduct by a movie producer, Grace Van Dien is taking a break from acting. As part of her Twitch streaming on Tuesday, the Stranger Things alum, 26, told a story about what happened on one of my last films, mentioning that she has passed on four films recently and prefers streaming. After hiring a girl that he had been sleeping with, he asked her to have a threesome with them, Grace Van Dien said. I have a boss like that. In the end, I did not [do it], and I was so upset that I cried. In the meantime, when people ask, How does streaming benefit your mental health?

Here’s how. Playing video games at home and staying at home without having to deal with my boss asking me for sex is a great deal for me. That’s how it’s better for my mental health, said Van Dien. Her management was informed about the incident, which she explained was handled correctly. Additionally, she had the support of a co-star. Van Dien, whose parents are actors Casper Van Dien and Carrie Mitchum, has appeared in recent films such as V for Vengeance and Roost, as well as upcoming films The Fix and Aaah! Her other roles include playing Chrissy Cunningham in Stranger Things season 4 and playing Sharon Tate in Charlie Says.

After Gross Encounters With Producers, Grace Van Dien Has Turned Down Acting Jobs

The hit Netflix series Stranger Things starred Grace Van Dien as doomed cheerleader Chrissy Cunningham, but she has not always enjoyed Hollywood life. She said that following some awful industry experiences – including working with a movie producer who propositioned her for a threesome – she has turned down acting projects and focused more on streaming. It’s true that I haven’t had the best experiences with some of the people I have had to work with for the last few projects I worked on, Gr ace Van Dien said. Furthermore, streaming allows me to choose who I talk to, who I hang out with, etc. She continued, In one of the last movies I did, one of the producers asked me to have a threesome with a girl he was sleeping with. She asked me to do it, and I didn’t. I cried and I was so upset. I was there with my castmate and she asked, ‘Did I just hear that correctly?’ I said yes, and then she asked, ‘Want to go for a walk? ‘ I said yes, and then we just went for a miserable walk. Van Dien said we cried a lot during that shoot.

Because of this, I’m going to stick with streaming for a little while, and I hope it won’t interfere with your plans, but I’m happy here, she said. In addition, I am developing my own projects, and I am hoping someone will fund them. Having my own set allows me to control the set, plus I won’t have to ask my actors to sleep with me, so that’s cool, right? Besides playing Chrissy on Stranger Things, Van Dien has appeared on shows such as White Famous, The Village, and The Rookie, as well as in a number of films. As the great-granddaughter of Robert Mitchum and the daughter of Starship Troopers actor Caspar Van Dien, she comes from an acting family. Additionally, she is a well-known Twitch streamer, and she continues to impress her 280,000+ fans with her skill in games like Valorant, Fortnite, The Forest, and Overwatch. Van Dien tweeted Thursday that her professional priorities have changed as she’s gotten older, and she’s waiting for the right projects/people to work with. It’s nice to feel calm, she said.
