As a seasoned gamer and avid follower of gaming culture, I’ve witnessed my fair share of behind-the-scenes shenanigans. However, the stories that come out about certain celebrities leave me shaking my head in disbelief. Take the case of Jason Momoa, for instance. This guy seems to have a knack for making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
It seems that a possible Jason Momoa (who is an actor) left a strong, not particularly pleasant impression on Valkyrae, a popular YouTuber and gaming streamer, during her visit to the set of the upcoming “Minecraft” movie adaptation where she filmed a cameo.
During a “Hot Ones”-inspired Q&A session on fellow gaming streamers FaZe Clan’s channel, Valkyrae was asked by the crew about her worst celebrity or streamer experience. She came forth with this anecdote about Momoa, as clipped by Cxpium on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Valkyrae mentioned that she had a brief appearance in the Minecraft movie, and commented on an incident involving Jason Momoa. She shared that he seemed to mistreat some of the crew members following a particularly intense scene, which was disheartening for her. She added that it was possible he was still in character at the time, but either way, she found his behavior surprising. Valkyrae also revealed that the crew had not set up the next scene to Momoa’s satisfaction, leading him to become angry and upset. “This isn’t a good working environment,” she said, expressing her disapproval of the conditions under which she would have had to work if she were part of the crew.
As of now, no one else has corroborated Valkyrae’s statements regarding Momoa’s claims from the “Minecraft” set, and no other media outlet has reported any problems he may have faced there. However, due to a report detailing his alleged inappropriate behavior on the set of “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” as well as comments he made years ago, Momoa has recently developed a reputation for negative conduct on film sets.

Jason Momoa and Amber Heard’s Aquaman 2 dust-up led to a public outcry
Valkyrae’s statements about Jason Momoa’s behavior on set are consistent with what Amber Heard alleges; she claims he was inappropriate while filming “Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom.” In 2023, Variety reported that they had a confrontation on the same set. This information came from notes taken during Heard’s therapy sessions with Dr. Dawn Hughes and were used as evidence in her defamation case against Johnny Depp. Fans paid to have these documents unsealed, which were later shared on Reddit. These notes portrayed Momoa unfavorably.
In the memos, Heard claimed to Hughes that Momoa was attempting to get her dismissed from the film and often arrived drunk or tardy on the movie set. One method he supposedly used to irritate her? Arriving dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow, a character played by Depp in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series. Nevertheless, a source contacted by Variety disputed these assertions, and DC Films later released a statement to Variety, stating, “Jason Momoa maintained a professional demeanor throughout the entire set of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
Given that the DC Universe is undergoing a total overhaul, the notion of reuniting this duo no longer holds much relevance. However, it’s worth noting that Momoa’s conduct on set was scrutinized in another awkward work situation as well.
Momoa’s rape joke also caused controversy
In a 2011 San Diego Comic-Con panel discussion for “Game of Thrones”, Jason Momoa’s past remarks reemerged in 2017, stirring up debate. However, he swiftly admitted and apologized for those comments, thus attempting to minimize any potential harm to his public image.
In a scene from the panel, I – a thrilled fan – watched as Jason Momoa addressed a “Game of Thrones” enthusiast’s query regarding what he adores most about embodying a character in a science fiction or fantasy tale. The actor humorously expressed, “When it comes to sci-fi and fantasy, I appreciate this genre because there’s so much freedom! You can do things like pluck someone’s tongue out without any consequences, and even joke about charming lovely women.” His fellow cast members seemed a bit uneasy, but the audience erupted in laughter at his witty jest.
Through his Instagram, Jason Momoa quickly issued an apology for his past inappropriate joke. In his post, he acknowledged the justified backlash from many people regarding the offensive comment made years ago at Hall H. He expressed deep regret and disappointment over the thoughtlessness of his remarks at that time. Rape and sexual harassment are issues that affect everyone, including those close to him, and he understands their devastating impact. He unequivocally states that such behavior is unacceptable and sincerely apologizes, carrying a heavy heart for the hurtful words he spoke.
Time will tell how his alleged “Minecraft” misstep will work out for him.
