Rachell 'Valkyrae' Hofstetter has alleged that Jason Momoa displayed unprofessional behavior towards the crew during the filming of A Minecraft Movie. The YouTube streamer said this in an episode of Hot Ones which is hosted by Jason 'Jasontheween' on September 13, 2024.
Valkyrae claimed she saw Jason Momoa angrily yelling at the crew during filming of A Minecraft Movie, sparking a heated social media debate about celebrity behavior and workplace dynamics. She expressed discomfort and said she wouldn't tolerate such behavior in her professional space.
After the YouTuber's clip went viral, people started commenting about the same on X.
"I mean honestly Jason has a stressful job, Valkyrae wouldn't understand as she sits on a chair all day streaming." A user noted.
"Not the Minecraft movie having a toxic working environment 😱" another user tweeted.
There was another use who commented, "She saw one moment of frustration and called it a bad working environment."
These comments has a mixture of surprise and criticism towards Valkyrae's claims because some users are genuinely concerned about the working conditions while others believe Valkyrae may lack the full context of the intensity and pressures typical of a movie set like A Minecraft Movie, thus possibly exaggerating the incident.
A tweet was made saying, "She's barely in the movie industry and she’s already talking drama with one of the biggest stars. They definitely not calling her back to a set after this 💀."
"What scene in Minecraft was intense enough for Jason Momoa to go feral on set 😭." Another user questioned with humor.
"I would be harsh too if I was looking like barbie on Minecraft." One more user added.
People reacted with humor along with a dose of skepticism and the comments show disbelief in the severity of the claims and critique Valkyrae's limited experience in the film industry while suggesting her perspective might be skewed.
"Dude probably got pissed he didn’t have enough ore to craft a full set armor," one user on X joked.
"These streamers have no clue what an actual job entails lmao," another user also pointed out.
Another user advised, "Valkyrae should understand at times one can have a bad day in the office..You can't condem or pass judgement based on that day.Have we seen any of his staff or crew member coming up complaining of mistreatment? Let's be factual at times.."
