‘Stranger Things’ actor Grace Van Dien and FaZe Clan Clash at The Streamer Awards 2024

Grace Van Dien reignites feud with FaZe Clan at Streamer Awards 2024, alleging inappropriate behavior.

What was meant to be a celebration of streaming excellence turned into a battleground as tensions flared between Twitch streamer Grace Van Dien and members of FaZe Clan at The Streamer Awards 2024. The event reignited a long-standing feud between the Stranger Things actress and the gaming organization.

Grace Van Dien, who streams under the name “BlueFille” on Twitch, joined FaZe Clan in May 2023, bringing her celebrity status to the organization. However, her relationship with FaZe quickly soured following public disputes with founding member Nordan “FaZe Rain.” After an attempted truce, the conflict reignited during a face-to-face meeting, leading to Van Dien’s exit from the organization.

On December 7, 2024, tensions resurfaced during The Streamer Awards when Van Dien accused certain FaZe members of inappropriate behavior. In a now-deleted post, she alleged that FaZe members “stared” and “whispered” about her, describing their actions as “micro energy.” Her post read, "FaZe guys are so brave online but just stared and whispered whenever they saw me last night."

The accusation prompted sharp responses from FaZe Clan. FaZe Banks, a prominent board member, retaliated with harsh words on social media, while FaZe Ronaldo mocked Van Dien by sarcastically inviting her to dinner. The back-and-forth escalated when Van Dien labeled FaZe members as “incels” and dismissed their behavior as “rage bait.”

The online spat quickly gained traction, with FaZe Clan supporters rallying behind the organization. Amid the backlash, Van Dien deactivated her X.com (formerly Twitter) account. Despite the controversy, she maintains a thriving Twitch career with over 321,000 followers, primarily streaming in the "Just Chatting" category.

The incident highlights the ongoing friction between individual creators and gaming organizations. As the gaming community continues to debate the drama, one question lingers: Is this the final chapter, or is more drama yet to unfold?
