Popular Twitch streamer and One True King co-founder Mizkif found himself in the middle of an explosive controversy after his partner Emily came prepared with ‘receipts’ to expose her months of ‘abuse’ and ‘harassment’ on her recent livestream. Following the assault during TwitchCon 2025, Emiru accused Mizkif of sexual assault, harassment, abuse, and threats of blackmail.
Recently, Emiru confirmed that she had been romantically involved with Mizkif before their breakup earlier this year. During her livestream, she made explosive accusations against the OTK co-founder, sharing screenshots that exposed months of alleged harassment, unwanted touching, and emotional manipulation that continued even after their relationship ended.
Emiru’s shocking claims have reignited interest in Mizkif’s already controversial past, given his turbulent history of debatable opinions, Twitch bans, and the dark side of influencer relationships in the streaming world.
Emiru’s shocking accusations against Mizkif that shook the streaming community
On October 25, 2025, Emiru went live and revealed for the first time that she and Mizkif had been in a relationship that ended earlier this year. However, the separation was not easy at all. He made explosive accusations against Mizkif, sharing evidence of the state in which their relationship had deteriorated in recent months. Although she ended her relationship with the OTK co-founder, the latter allegedly continued to harass her with unwanted contact and emotional manipulation.
Rumors about Emiru and Mizkif’s romance had circulated for years, fueled by their close friendship, on-screen chemistry, and the fact that they were roommates and colleagues. During her recent livestream, Emiru shared screenshots of messages allegedly sent by Mizkif following their breakup, including lengthy apologies, repeated pleas to talk, and attempts at reconciliation, all of which she allegedly ignored. Emiru presented all the “receipts” proving that this was more than just a “check-in” but rather persistent harassment.
Emiru shares the time Mizkif made a sexual advance when she was upset and vulnerable
Emiru recalled an incident where Mizkif allegedly made a sexual advance while she was emotionally distraught. She said she was sobbing when he began to comfort her and suddenly began kissing her. As he allegedly attempted to go further, she yelled “no,” causing him to stop, jump and leave without checking to see if she was okay. Emiru can be quoted as saying:
“But I let him hold me while I cried. And he started kissing me on the face. And I let him do it, I was still sobbing a lot. And then all of a sudden he tried to climb on top of me and aggressively pushed his hand down my pants, and I screamed. And when I screamed, he jumped off me, like a cat, and instead of apologizing and checking to see if I was okay, he said, ‘Now I feel weird, I feel like I did something wrong,’ I have to go.’ And he immediately left my house while I was still crying.”
What happened between Emiru and Mizkif at TwitchCon 2025?
On October 17, 2025, days before her explosive livestream, Emiru (real name Emily Schunk) was assaulted during a match at TwitchCon held in San Diego. A fan reportedly went past the security barriers and grabbed his face forcefully. Although Emiru’s personal security team intervened quickly, event staff were slow to respond. After the incident, the cosplayer criticized Twitch for mishandling the incident, making her feel unsafe despite having security.
Speaking of Mizkif, the 27-year-old streamer accused him of using third-party threats and blackmail. Emiru claimed that he tried to recruit other streamers against her and even threatened one of her employees at TwitchCon 2025, warning him that he would destroy her. She shared:
“At TwitchCon, he approached one of my employees, threatened him, and told him that if he ever talked about him, he would destroy me.”
Who is Mizkif? The popular streamer has faced multiple Twitch bans over controversies
Born Matthew Rinaudo on February 16, 1995 in Montclair, New Jersey, Mizkif began his streaming journey in 2016. The 30-year-old Twitch streamer and YouTuber is best known for his gaming streams, reaction videos, and content collaborations with other creators. He is also a founding member of One True King (OTK) and enjoys over 2.1 million followers on his main channel and over 1 million subscribers on YouTube. However, after recent incidents, his followers have decreased significantly, losing over 9,500 followers as of October 2025.
Despite his popularity, Mizkif has a history of controversies, including multiple bans from Twitch. Yes, you read that right: multiple. The streaming platform first banned him in May 2019, when his Twitch channel was disabled for seven days after he allegedly harassed a female streamer at PAX East.
On January 13, 2023, he faced another ban for viewing content from banned streamer Grossgore. However, Twitch lifted the ban in less than 24 hours. Less than a month later, he faced another one-day ban on February 7, 2023, due to a DMCA violation for airing the reality show MILF Manor. He also gained attention for sleeping on the broadcast, controversial jokes, and a candid discussion of mental health issues, including a psychiatric hospitalization in 2019.
Twitch banned Mizkif’s channel after his controversial Charlie Kirk comment
On September 19, 2025, Mizkif’s Twitch channel was banned during a sponsorship livestream, with the message stating that it was “temporarily unavailable” due to a violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service. This happened around the same time that social media and streaming platforms were banning users from making controversial comments about the late American conservative leader Charlie Kirk after his assassination. The OTK co-founder responded to the ban by saying:
“Pluto, I didn’t do anything wrong. Why did I get banned? Wait, what did I say? Pluto, literally everyone does that for everything on Twitch. What?! I didn’t! I was making a little joke. Bro, you gotta be kidding me, Pluto! In the middle of my sponsor. Seriously? Bro! Is this for real? Why am I getting banned? Dude, fuck Twitch, man! Screw this nonsense! Why? Do I get banned during a sponsor? Are you serious?!”
Mizkif responds to Emiru’s accusations
Mizkif addressed Emiru’s accusations on his own livestream, calling their past relationship “deeply toxic.” He admitted to aggressive behavior but claimed some actions were mutual, adding that Emiru often became “violent” during arguments.

Mizkif’s response, combined with his past controversies, has left the Twitch community divided. For now, both he and Emiru remain active on the platform.
