On October 25, 2025, Twitch streamer Emiru addressed claims about Mizkif during a live broadcast. She explained what happened and shared her side of the story.

The streamer immediately began talking about the problems she had with her ex. She explained that she’d been hesitant to discuss it, but felt it was finally time to address them.

Today, I’m sharing details about the psychological and domestic abuse, stalking, harassment, sexual assault, and blackmail threats I’ve experienced from Mizkif – some of which are still happening.

Throughout this past year, I’ve been trying to distance myself from him and avoid discussing either him or the situation publicly. I’ve always preferred to handle this privately, but I’ve reached a point – which I’ll explain shortly – where I feel I need to address it.

She explained her decision, saying she didn’t want anyone else to experience what she had gone through.

Another reason I’m sharing this is because he’s been subtly threatening me through friends and colleagues. They’ve told me he said he’d try to damage my reputation if I ever spoke about his actions.

In her stream, Emiru recalled the story of her alleged sexual assault by Mizkif.

So, I was sitting on the couch, totally wrecked and crying, and he tried to comfort me with a hug. We hadn’t really talked in ages, and honestly, I’m not a big fan of being touched by people I’m not with. But I just let him hold me because I was so upset. He started kissing my face, which I didn’t stop, even though I was still really sobbing. Then, out of nowhere, he tried to get on top of me and started aggressively touching me, and I just screamed. He immediately jumped off when I did.

Shortly after Emiru discussed the situation online, Mizkif streamed to respond to the claims. He admitted to past instances of being violent and controlling, and also said he had felt jealous of Emiru’s growing success.

Early in his response, Mizkif addressed others in his broadcast.

I’m done caring about the consequences. I’m going to reveal secrets about everyone you’ve ever met, and I don’t care what happens. I’m embracing complete recklessness and letting everything fall apart – let’s just see the chaos unfold.

He described his relationship with Emiru as very unhealthy and admitted both of them contributed to the problems. He clarified that he wasn’t the only one at fault, emphasizing the issues were shared between them.

I made mistakes and often think about times I didn’t handle things well. I regret how things escalated, but Emi wasn’t blameless either; she would throw things at me, and I reacted by damaging property, like punching holes in walls or slamming doors.

Mizkif continued, speaking on reports that he had threatened to kill himself.

I once threatened self-harm during a fight, but Emi did this repeatedly too. She often said she would kill herself when we argued.

He then brought up a letter from Emiru.

She had written down all of her hopes for our future – she wanted me to move closer, to marry her, and to start a family within five years. I read the letter, and simply handed it back to her. She burst into tears, and I told her I couldn’t continue the relationship. I realized we were too damaged to fix, that we’d lost all trust, and that I couldn’t handle our problems, especially given my own mental state. I left. As I walked out, the last thing I ever heard her say was, ‘Don’t go. I love you.’

The community comes out

After Emiru’s stream and Mizkif’s reaction, the issue sparked a lot of conversation online. Viewers and other streamers shared their thoughts, and many people called for Mizkif to be banned from Twitch. Well-known streamers like Zack “Asmongold” Hoyt also weighed in on the situation.

Asmongold reacts

I feel some responsibility for what happened, because I wish I’d been better informed. Ultimately, no one can know everything, and I don’t think anyone realized how serious things were. I’m sorry I gave Miz a platform as much as I did; it was a mistake. I didn’t understand it was a mistake at the time, but I do now.

Asmongold referenced his previous group, One True King (OTK), which Mizkif used to be a member of. This came after Mizkif faced accusations of sexual assault and using offensive language, bringing those past issues back into focus. It’s important to note that Asmongold, Mizkif, and OTK are no longer connected.

Emiru recounted a story about something that happened with Mizkif while they were driving, and Félix “xQc” Lengyel responded with his thoughts.

The saga continues

Over the weekend, accusations and reactions surfaced, and now some new information has come to light. Emiru has apparently hired a lawyer and is trying to get a restraining order against Mizkif. So far, Twitch hasn’t taken any steps in response, which follows their previous statement regarding the incident Emiru reported at TwitchCon.

Following allegations made by Emiru, other individuals came forward with their own experiences involving Mizkif. On X (formerly Twitter), Quqco, who previously worked with Mizkif, revealed that she too had been sexually assaulted.

Furthermore, Asmongold stated that he plans to share more comments regarding Mizkif.

It looks like the situation between Emiru and Mizkif is still unfolding, and we can expect further updates. As of now, it’s uncertain how this will impact them and their communities.
