Mary Jane mo-cap skuespillerinde siger at fans chikanerer hende

Mary Jane-karakteren i Insomniac-spillene Marvel's Spider-Man og Marvel's Spider-Man 2 bliver bragt til live af to skuespillerinde. Det er Laura Bailey der leverer stemmen, men motion capture-arbejdet er blevet udført af tidligere model Stephanie Tyler Jones.

Hun er stolt af hendes præstation som Mary Jane, men åbenbart har berømmelsen været et tveægget sværd for hende, eftersom nogle fans har taget et ekstra skridt for at komme i kontakt med hende. I et indlæg på Instagram Stories forklarer hun at hun ofte kontaktes af både fans og ivrige samarbejdspartnere, som tenderer til stalking:

"Dear Spider-Man fans. I appreciate the love for my role in the Spider-Man games and the positive response to my version of MJ has gotten over the years. However, I am no longer an actively auditioning actor or model. The shoots I do now are purely a creative outlet for myself and a way to collaborate with friends I love. Over the weekend, some followers crossed boundaries. One even went to the extent of calling my workplace and leaving multiple voicemails wanting to speak with me and requesting I call back, which is unacceptable and considered stalking. My skincare page is not for Spider-Man or MJ fans. Bottom line is that I came into work this morning and immediately felt unsafe and uncomfortable hearing those voicemails. Please respect that I am a human being trying to make a living just like you, and I kindly ask for boundaries to not be crossed. Messages will not be answered, I will block you if you make me feel uncomfortable and you can unfollow me if this disappoints you. Thank you."

Det er desværre ikke første gang vi hører den slags.
