Marvels Spider-Man Mary Jane model Stephanie Tyler has called out fans over their “unacceptable” behavior in calling her workplace this past weekend.
Video game developer Insomniac has found a new wave of major success thanks to their new role as being the team behind some of the biggest and best Marvel-focused games of recent years.
Their original Spider-Man game was met with instant and universal praise, Spider-Man 2 releasing just last year in 2023 and once again being hailed by fans.
The games, which feature some of the most iconic Spider-Man villains, heroes, and more from the comics, use face models and motion capture to bring the world of the beloved web-slinger to life.

“I appreciate the love for my role in the Spider-Man games … Over the weekend, some followers crossed boundaries. One even went to the extent of calling my workplace and leaving multiple voicemails … which is unacceptable and considered stalking … 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.”
It is unclear if Tyler plans to take these voicemails further or has any plans to punish the followers who have led to her feeling unsafe in her place of work.
