"So, that's my boss. And I didn't [do it], and I cried and I was so upset.

"But when people are like, 'How is streaming better for your mental health?' That's how. I get to stay inside my home and play video games, and I don't have my boss asking me to have sex with him. That's how this is better for my mental health."

Grace admitted that she felt like she had "handled it in the right way" by telling her management what had happened and was thankful for her supportive co-star.

She said: "My cast mate, she was there with me and was like, 'Did I just hear that correctly?' And I was like, 'Yeah.' And she was like, 'You want to go take a walk?' I was like, 'Yeah.' And we just had a miserable time. We cried a lot on that shoot."

"And I'm developing my own projects, and I'm hoping that someone decides to fund them.

"Because then I can be in control of my own set, and I'm not going to ask my actors to sleep with me, so... that's cool, right?"
