I was on Stranger Things but I’ve quit acting for Twitch streaming after pervy producer asked me for a threesome
STRANGER Things star Grace Van Dien is taking a break from making movies after being subjected to sexual misconduct from a producer.
The actress, 27, who played Chrissy Cunningham in the Netflix hit, has recently become a Twitch streamer.
Grace’s streaming username is BlueFille and she has an impressive 293k followers on the platform.
The American star admitted that she has “turned down four movies” because she would rather work on streaming shows due to an incident that took place at work. on “one of the last movies” she worked on.
The streamer alleged that an unnamed man asked her to sleep with him and his girlfriend.
Grace said in a Twitch stream earlier this week: “He hired a girl that he was sleeping with, and then he had her ask me to have a threesome with them.
“So, that’s my boss. And I didn’t [do it], and I cried and I was so upset.
“But when people are like, ‘How is streaming better for your mental health?’ That’s how. I get to stay inside my home and play video games, and I don’t have my boss asking me to have sex with him. That’s how this is better for my mental health.”
Grace admitted that she felt like she had “handled it in the right way” by telling her management what had happened and was thankful for her supportive co-star.
She said: “My cast mate, she was there with me and was like, ‘Did I just hear that correctly?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah.’ And she was like, ‘You want to go take a walk?’ I was like, ‘Yeah.’ And we just had a miserable time. We cried a lot on that shoot.”
She explained that working behind the camera means she can be “in control” on her own sets.
Grace continued: “That’s why I’m going to stick to streaming for a little bit, and I hope that’s not a huge wrench in your plans for me, but I’m happy here.
“And I’m developing my own projects, and I’m hoping that someone decides to fund them.
“Because then I can be in control of my own set, and I’m not going to ask my actors to sleep with me, so… that’s cool, right?”
Grace has also had roles in the likes of Greenhouse Academy, The Village and Charlie Says.
