Popular Twitch streamer Valkyrae recently shared details about her difficult relationship with her brother, who sadly passed away recently.
Twitch and YouTube star Valkyrae recently sparked discussion online after sharing personal details about her brother, who passed away recently. Some viewers were surprised she streamed so soon after his death, but it was later revealed that she and her brother hadn’t been close and had little contact.
The streamer appeared to hold resentment towards her brother, even after he died. This sparked debate among her fans and the streaming community about whether she should have expressed more sympathy when he passed away.
Valkyrae shocks fans with indifferent comments about her brother’s death
This all started on February 21st when Valkyrae was live streaming, as she normally does. She shared the news that her brother, Mark, had passed away the previous day. Although many viewers expressed their sympathy, Valkyrae didn’t react to their messages as they anticipated.
Valkyrae shared a heartfelt story about her brother, explaining that his death was largely due to struggles with alcohol. While she expressed sadness, she also admitted to feeling resentment because they weren’t close, and she felt this was mainly his responsibility.
After giving some context about the siblings’ history, Valkyrae said something about his death that caused controversy.
“I shouldn’t have to forgive him just because he died.”
The situation quickly became a major topic of discussion, with people divided on whether family members should always forgive each other. Some supported Valkyrae’s initial reaction, while others believed forgiveness was necessary. Although Valkyrae later stated she had forgiven her brother, it was her first comments that resonated with viewers. She explained that her mother, upset about the situation, had urged her to forgive him, to which Valkyrae responded with raw emotion, saying, ‘I guess I have to because he’s dead! This just really sucks!’
Valkyrae responds to backlash over her comments
Once things calmed down a bit, Valkyrae discussed the situation further on a podcast. She explained in more detail why she found it so difficult to forgive her brother for his actions while he was alive, saying:
Honestly, it would have meant so much if he’d just reached out – even a quick call or a simple apology for something small. It’s just really tough when you feel for someone and it doesn’t seem to go both ways.
Everyone grieves differently, and it seems Valkyrae’s relationship with her brother wasn’t close. This likely explains why she’s expressing her grief in a more relaxed way. While only she fully understands her feelings, her comments after a family loss have understandably surprised and upset many people in the community.
