Jason Momoa accused of ‘mistreating’ crew on Minecraft film by YouTuber Valkyrae: ‘It was pretty disappointing’

As someone who has spent over two decades in the entertainment industry, I’ve seen my fair share of stars behaving both admirably and less-than-admirably. From my perspective, the allegations against Jason Momoa on the set of A Minecraft Movie are concerning, to say the least.

According to a cast member from the upcoming movie “A Minecraft Movie”, there have been reports that Jason Momoa may have shouted and behaved harshly towards the production team during filming.

32-year-old YouTube personality, Valkyrae, featured on a segment modeled after Hot Ones, sat down with fellow YouTuber JasonTheWeen last Friday. During their conversation, they discussed the most unpleasant celebrity encounter Valkyrae had experienced.

In response, Valkyrae (whose real name is Rachell Marie Hofstetter) mentioned, “Regarding the upcoming Minecraft film, I have a small role and if I had to guess, it could be Jason Momoa.

Valkyrae asserted that she witnessed the 45-year-old actor, known for his character as Garett ‘The Garbage Man’ Garrison in the film, allegedly mistreat several members of the production team.

Valkyrae expressed her feelings as quite disheartening. This remark came right after an incredibly intense and deeply moving sequence. Perhaps he was still immersed in his role, but it’s uncertain. What caught me off-guard was his behavior towards some of the team members, I must admit.

In the interview, Valkyrae stated that the actor portraying Aquaman was quite upset because they weren’t executing the scene correctly, especially with the setup of the shot. She further explained that Momoa was clearly annoyed, showing visible anger, and vocalizing his displeasure.

Valkyrae said the Honolulu-born star’s conduct made for a toxic workspace.

Valkyrae expressed her displeasure, stating, “This feels far from an ideal work environment; it wouldn’t bring me happiness working here. And as for this celebrity situation, it’s one of the worst I’ve ever witnessed.

Many Twitter users seemed to provide Momoa with understanding as they responded to the segment.

One user pointed out that Valkyrae might sometimes experience a tough day at work, and it’s not appropriate to criticize or make assumptions about them based on such a day.

Has anyone from his team reported any instances of mistreatment? It’s important to stay factual.

Another said, ‘She saw one moment of frustration and called it a bad working environment.’

Said one user: ‘Not the Minecraft movie having a toxic working environment.’

One user commented that it might not have been a wise professional decision for Valkyrae to publicly criticize Momoa.

The person mentioned is relatively new in the film world, yet they’re already causing a stir with a major star… it’s safe to say they won’t be invited back to a film set after this incident.

A different individual remarked that, given her role as a streamer, Valkyrae might not fully grasp the stress Jason Momoa faces, being the public figurehead for a prominent movie.

The user stated that Jason’s job is genuinely stressful, something that Valkyrae might not comprehend since she spends her days sitting and streaming.

One user joked, ‘I’d be mad if I had to be in this movie too.’

In the star-studded lineup for the upcoming film directed by Jared Hess, we find actors like Jack Black, Jennifer Coolidge, Sebastian Hansen, Emma Myers, and Danielle Brooks joining Jason Momoa.

Dailymail.com has reached out to Momoa’s reps for comment on the story.
