The esteemed American gaming and lifestyle company, FaZe Clan, currently finds itself facing a series of challenges and controversies that have caused a decline in its reputation within the gaming communities and the stock market. These difficulties, coupled with relentless criticism from content creators and prominent members of the Clan, have placed FaZe in an extremely difficult position.
The ongoing drama between FaZe Rain and the company’s newest hire – an addition to their declining celebrity talent – Grace Van Dien aka Bluefille, known for her role in Netflix’s Stranger Things, is making things even more difficult. The drama began with some comments from FaZe Rain toward the Netflix star and has inflated into a massive controversy.

FaZe Clan has publicly expressed its support for Grace Van Dien, also known as Bluefille, following a controversial video released by Nordan “Rain.” The footage captured an interaction between Rain and Grace, which quickly devolved into an unexpectedly tense exchange, deviating from their initial intentions.
FaZe is no stranger to contrasting viewpoints and passionate opinions on the future of the brand. Recruitment has always drawn that out. But make no mistake, the mistreatment of our newest member is in no way OK. Grace joined in hopes to bring her voice to FaZe & we stand by her.

The video, despite Grace’s request to keep it private, was shared by Rain and swiftly went viral on various social media platforms. During the conversation, Grace could be seen visibly upset, leaving the scene with tears in her eyes while referring to Rain as a “terrible” person. This prompted FaZe Clan’s official Twitter account to denounce the mistreatment of their new talent, attempting to address the situation.
However, the response from FaZe Clan’s tweet further escalated tensions, as members of the company, including Rain, engaged in a heated public exchange. Rain, who had an ongoing dispute with the company’s social media manager, Cbass, took the opportunity to call him out,“Shut ur du*b*ss up Cbass”. Soon other members also chimed in.
Faze Banks said, “You guys have lost the fucking plot”, joined by Temperrr who added, “a long long time ago”. Before departing from the scene, Grace made a statement indicating she would leave FaZe Clan if the video was released, emphasizing the extent of her distress. But it didn’t stop Rain or the rest of the members from roasting her and the company.
