Stephanie Tyler Jones, the woman who lent her face to Mary Jane Watson’s character in Insomniac’s Spider-Man games, has recently come forward about the harassment she’s experienced from fans. This includes intrusive phone calls to her workplace from fans demanding to speak to her personally. In a public social media post, she has requested these fans to stop.

Spider-Man 2's New Web Wings: A Worthy Sequel?

Spider-Man 2's new web wings have sparked excitement among fans, making it feel like a proper sequel. But what's coming out beyond Marvel's Spider-Man 2? And what about the Spider-Man 2 Limited Edition PS5? Fans are eager to find out.

Jones' Contribution to the Spider-Man Franchise

In the original Marvel’s Spider-Man on PS4 and its subsequent ports, spin-offs, and sequel, Jones provided the face model for Peter Parker’s famous girlfriend, MJ. While Laura Bailey provided the voice of MJ, it was Jones’ face that inspired the character’s in-game model. This has made Jones a well-known figure in the Spider-Man community.

Overstepping Boundaries: Fans' Unwanted Attention

Recently, according to Jones, some fans have overstepped boundaries, going as far as calling her day job and leaving voicemails that made her feel “unsafe” and “uncomfortable.”

Jones' Plea for Respect and Boundaries

On January 8, Jones posted a public letter on Instagram detailing the harassment and asking fans to respect her boundaries. She stressed that such actions were unacceptable and amounted to stalking.

While Jones appreciates the positive reaction her version of MJ has received over the years, she is no longer actively auditioning, acting, or modeling. She now works in skincare and has requested fans to respect her career change and not message her skincare-focused Instagram or job.

Facing the Consequences: Jones' Message to Fans

Jones ended her letter by asking for respect and understanding from fans and players. She also warned that she would block anyone who made her feel uncomfortable and urged those who were disappointed by this to unfollow her.

The Larger Issue: Harassment in Video Game Communities

Unfortunately, what happened to Jones is not an isolated incident. Harassment is a common occurrence in video game communities and fandoms. Developers, voice actors, and others often receive harassing messages and threats simply because some players don’t like a game or a character. Twitch streamers also report stalkers from within their community. This serves as a stark reminder that the people on-screen are humans too.
