Amidst all controversies and the dip in stock prices, FaZe Clan has its first female streamer joining the ranks. The name announced for the first female streamer is the Stranger Things famed actress Grace Van Dien. Van Dien is the perfect choice for FaZe as she is currently one of the fastest-growing streaming names. She has amassed over 325K followers on her streaming platform in just a year.

Grace Van Dien addresses the FaZe drama and speaks about FaZe Rain

While recently playing Valorant on stream, Van Dien directly addressed the bold accusations laid out by FaZe Rain. Earlier, Rain had said that the only reason Van Dien was signed with FaZe is because she was a part of Stranger Things. For this comment, Van Dien had a quippy remark of herself. She said, “Umm… I’m sorry, sir. Were you in the meeting with us? Were you there? No! I’ve never f***ing met you!”

She clarified that is not why FaZe signed her. Her acting career had nothing to do with her streaming career. However, Van Dien did agree that her role in Stranger Things definitely helped her in getting the meeting, but it was not the sole reason for her signing.

“Yes. I will definitely give that credit to how I got the meeting, but that is absolutely not why I was signed,” the streamer said.
