HOUSTON – Grace Van Dien, who played cheerleader Chrissy Cunningham in the popular Netflix series ‘Stranger Things,’ has pivoted to a streaming career because of nonconsensual sexual advances she says she faced from an unnamed producer.
In the past two and a half weeks, the 26-year-old actor has declined four movie projects due to past negative experiences with superiors on set, she said in a Twitch stream on Tuesday.
“One of the last movies I did, one of the producers hired a girl he was sleeping with and then he had her ask me to have a threesome with them,” she continued.
