Asmongold backs up Grace Van Dien amid FaZe Rain backlash YouTube: FaZe Rain, Asmongold \/ FaZe ClanPopular Twitch streamer Asmongold is openly supporting Stranger Things star Grace Van Dien after her joining with FaZe Clan sparked backlash among the group\u2019s OG members. Grace Van Dien is best known for her role as Chrissy Cunningham in Stranger Things Season 4 \u2014 but she\u2019s branching out from her career as an actress to become a top-tier streamer, instead. After revealing that she was sexually harassed by a producer for a movie project, she made the decision to focus on streaming and later signed with gaming and entertainment organization FaZe Clan on May 25, 2023 as a content creator. Grace\u2019s inclusion in the group instantly sparked backlash from other members of FaZe\u2019s team, particularly longtime member and co-founder FaZe Rain. Rain actually spoiled Grace\u2019s addition to the org on Twitter before the news went public, and later called her inclusion a \u201cpolitical move.\u201d Rain also put Grace on blast for not knowing what \u201ctrickshotting\u201d is, something FaZe was known for before it became the massive esports group it is today. He then levied several personal insults toward the actress, saying she made Stranger Things her \u201centire personality\u201d and called her \u201cexcruciatingly mid, who I would never let touch me on my drunkest night.\u201d (Topic begins at 7:58) Hitting back at Rain\u2019s comments, Grace made mention of his previous drug addiction in a now-deleted Twitch stream addressing the drama. \u201cI know that\u2019s what you\u2019re kinda known for, but I know you, Rain, as the person who almost overdosed on a live stream, and I know that you\u2019re better now and I\u2019m really proud of you for that. I am, because I grew up with a mom who was heavily into drugs.\u201d Grace\u2019s particular mention of this difficult facet of Rain\u2019s life sparked outrage among FaZe\u2019s fanbase, causing her to come under fire online. Asmongold sticks up for Grace Van Dien after FaZe Rain hurls insults toward actress While many are critical of her comments on the subject, Twitch streamer and World of Warcraft star Asmongold is showing his support for the actress and is backing up her response. \u201cSo, this is my perspective on this,\u201d he said after watching Grace\u2019s response during a live broadcast amid the ongoing drama. \u201cI believe in self-defense. And if he wants to call her \u2018mid,\u2019 and then she makes fun of him for almost overdosing on a stream, I think that\u2019s totally fine.\u201d \u201cHe shouldn\u2019t have said that and made it personal. I\u2019ll take the high road. I\u2019ll stay on the high road, it\u2019s no problem. But if you take the low road, I\u2019ll meet you there.\u201d Asmon isn\u2019t the only major streamer siding with Grace, either, as Disguised Toast also openly supported the actress in a stream where he made no bones about calling out the group\u2019s OG members for taking issue with Grace becoming part of the team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
