Breakout Actress Leaves Stranger Things Because Of Producer's Unwanted Sexual Advance

Actress Grace Van Dien, 26, a breakout star from the fourth season of Netflix’s Stranger Things, stated on a recent livestream that she’s taken a step back from acting after an offer from a movie producer left her in tears.

Variety reports that the information was shared during a Tuesday Twitch broadcast. Van Dien has taken to playing video games on Twitch, as opposed to acting, in recent months.

“I have seen that some people are disappointed with me for turning down acting gigs and deciding to stream more, but the fact of the matter is the last few projects I’ve worked on — I didn’t have the nicest experiences with some of the individuals I had to work for,” Van Dien added.

 

A producer "wanted me to — like — he hired a girl that he was sleeping with and then he had her ask me to have a threesome with them" in one of Van Dien's most recent films, he explained.

Actress said she was moved to tears by interaction.

“That’s my boss. Then I didn't, and I was so distraught that I cried. But when people are like, ‘How is streaming better for your mental health?’ That’s how. "I get to sit home and play video games all day without worrying about being asked to have sex by my boss," she added.

Van Dien has stated that the extended break from acting has provided her with the independence to create her own works.

"I'm hoping that someone decides to support them so I can have my own set and not have to beg my actors to sleep with me," Van Dien remarked.
