Will Grace Van Dien leave FaZe Clan amid feud? Streamer calls Rain 'terrible person' during emotional confrontation
The Twitch world was shocked recently with the news of a major confrontation between 'Stranger Things' star Grace Van Dien and FaZe Rain. The incident took place after Rain publicly criticized the esports organization's recent business decisions. However, things came to a head when FaZe announced the signing of Grace Van Dien, and Rain was quick to launch a series of personal insults toward the actress.
Despite the turmoil, Grace remained resolute and even managed to hit back at Rain for his previous substance abuse struggles. While some fans of Rain criticized her comments, others, such as Disguised Toast and Asmongold, were supportive of her words. This online feud continued for several days, with both parties exchanging retaliatory comments and jibes in a series of videos and social media posts. However, things took a dramatic turn recently when Rain decided to confront Grace in person. 'The Stranger Things' actress calls Rain a "terrible person" during the emotional confrontation.
'You’re a terrible person'
On May 29, Rain announced via his Instagram stories that he and Grace were going to meet up for a video to discuss their issues. Despite planning to discuss their issues, the collaboration turned sour as Rain was accused of mistreating Grace, the newest member of FaZe. Rain criticized Grace for letting others hurt her feelings and not being confident in herself.
“How could you let other people hurt your feelings?” he said at one point in their conversation. “Do you not believe in yourself? Are you, not a confident woman? You should be. You’ve accomplished great things. You should be confident in yourself.” “…if I call you mid, you should be like, ‘F*ck him,'” he continued. “Who cares what I say? And if you bring up my drug past – are you getting emotional?”
The conversation quickly took a turn, as Grace began to cry and expressed her disdain for Rain. “Yeah,” she answered. “I don’t like you.” “Okay, that’s fine,” he replied. “I’m just being very logical. I understand how you feel, but you brought things up against me.” “I think you’re a terrible person,” she shot back.
When asked why she felt that way, Grace said she “didn’t owe [him] an explanation,” and walked out of the room, clearly crying. She also threatened to leave FaZe if the video was ever released before exiting Rain’s apartment.
FaZe Clan responds after Grace Van Dien threatens to leave
The FaZe Clan tweeted shortly after Rain's video about the situation. FaZe Clan openly supported Grace and called the treatment she received the treatment "in no way okay."
FaZe is no stranger to contrasting viewpoints and passionate opinions on the future of the brand. Recruitment has always drawn that out. But make no mistake, the mistreatment of our newest member is in no way OK. Grace joined in hopes to bring her voice to FaZe & we stand by her.
