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.

She declined and felt upset following the incident. These days, she prefers streaming because it is better for her mental health.

"With streaming I get to choose who I hang out with, who I talk to," Van Dien said. She streams herself playing games on her Twitch account @BlueFille that has 303,000 followers.
