What happened to Grace Van Dien and FaZe Clan?
The Streamer Awards 2024 was recently held but the main highlight of the event turned out to be Dien targeting the Faze Clan members. On December 7, 2024, she dropped a post on her X calling out the organization for whispering and staring at her. The actress stated, ”FaZe guys are so brave online but just stared and whispered whenever they saw me last night. Micro energy.” (via Sportskeeda)
Her post quickly ignited a backlash from FaZe Clan members. Richard Faze Banks one of the board members claimed that she tried forcing her way into FaZe but they never cared about her. Faze Ronaldo added his own quip, humorously suggesting they resolve the matter over dinner. ”Let’s fix this grace, let me take you out to dinner. No, no, no not the FaZe boys, just us,” he wrote.
For the unaware, the conflict between Grace Van Dien and FaZe Clan began in May 2023. The organization was going through a time following its corporatization. As a result, they hired new members and Nordan leaked that Dien would be joining the team. The reason behind her addition was her being part of Stranger Things counting it as a political move.
However, even before the official announcement was made the original members of the claim were against this decision. This led to a heated argument between the actress and Rain with the latter criticizing her gaming skills. Additionally, there was a meeting held between Rain and Dein and other members, which didn’t go well. The heated feud was back in the spotlight again at the 2024 Streamer Awards with Grace Van Dien calling it a rage bait by the clan. (via Soapcentral)
Following this recent controversy, the actress ended up deactivating her X account due to unknown reasons. As of now, there is no update on the matter from the either parties.
