Shocking Accusations Rock Streaming Community
The Twitch world is reeling after streamer Emiru went public with explosive allegations against fellow streamer and OTK co-founder Mizkif, accusing him of
sexual assault, psychological abuse, stalking, harassment, and blackmail. The revelations, made during an emotional livestream on October 25, 2025, have sent shockwaves through the gaming and streaming communities, especially as they follow closely on the heels of Emiru’s own assault by a fan at TwitchCon just days earlier.
Emiru Breaks Her Silence
Emiru, whose real name is Emily Beth Schunk, addressed her audience directly, stating:
“Today I'm finally going to be opening up about the psychological and domestic abuse, stalking and harassment, sexual assault, and threats of blackmail that Mizkif has done towards me and some of these issues which are still ongoing.” She explained that she had tried to keep the matter private throughout 2025, but alleged new incidents compelled her to speak out.
She also shared screenshots of messages she claims to have received from Mizkif after their breakup, alleging ongoing harassment and threats. Emiru confirmed for the first time that she and Mizkif had been in a romantic relationship, which ended several months ago.
Mizkif Responds Live
Mizkif, whose real name is Matthew Rinaudo, responded to the allegations in his own livestream on October 26, 2025. He denied the accusations, instead claiming that Emiru was violent during their relationship and that she pressured him about marriage and starting a family—plans he said he was not ready for. Mizkif appeared visibly shocked and defensive, stating that the situation had spiraled beyond his control.
Community Fallout and OTK’s Silence
The controversy has ignited fierce debate within the Twitch and gaming communities. Many fans and fellow streamers have expressed support for Emiru, while others are waiting for more information before drawing conclusions. Notably, OTK (One True King), the influencer network co-founded by Mizkif, has yet to release an official statement regarding the allegations.
Prominent streamer Asmongold, another OTK co-founder, addressed the situation briefly on his own stream, urging viewers to wait for all the facts before making judgments.
Context: A Tumultuous History
This isn’t the first time Mizkif has been embroiled in controversy. He previously spoke out against gambling streams on Twitch, positioning himself as a voice for responsible content on the platform. However, his personal life has often been the subject of speculation, especially regarding his relationships with fellow streamers Maya Higa and Emiru.
The latest allegations come at a time when Twitch is under increased scrutiny for how it handles harassment and abuse both on and off the platform.
What’s Next for Mizkif and Emiru?
As of now, no legal action has been announced, but the situation is rapidly evolving. The streaming community is watching closely to see how Twitch, OTK, and other major players respond to these serious allegations. For now, both Mizkif and Emiru remain at the center of a storm that shows no signs of abating.
