Streamer Emiru has publicly accused fellow content creator Mizkif of psychological and domestic abuse, stalking, harassment, sexual assault, and threats of blackmail during a Twitch stream on October 25.
“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,” Emiru told viewers.
She said she had avoided discussing the situation for most of the year. “For the entirety of this year, I have attempted to separate myself from him and not talk about him at all and not talk about this issue and just not make it a public thing,” she explained.
Emiru stated that she decided to speak out after learning of alleged new incidents. “I was informed by three separate people, one of whom was present for said incident, that he had done something similar to something that he had done to me to someone in LA at the end of September,” she said. “Because of this, I cannot in good conscience sit here knowing that I know critical information about someone that almost no one else does and not say anything.”

Sexual assult allegation
Emiru alleges that on one occasion, Mizkif “tried to comfort me, by hugging me, while I was sitting on the couch, and holding me really close to him. I am usually very uncomfortable being touched a lot by people that I’m not in a relationship with. But, I let him hold me while I was crying. And he started kissing me in my face. And I let him do it, I was still sobbing a lot. And then, suddenly, he tried to climb on top of me and aggressively shoved 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 if I was ok, he said, ‘I feel weird now, I feel like I did something wrong, I have to go.’ And he immediately left my house while I was still crying.
“At the time, I was still making excuses for him, and I was still afraid of causing trouble, for other streamers around us.”
Emiru continued, “There were times when he would be upset at me, and I would go to my stream room, and literally lock myself in, to get away from him. And he would be banging on the door and screaming at me.”
She went on to allege that Mizkif had indirectly threatened her through others. “For a while, he has been indirectly threatening me through my friends and people that I work with,” she said. “They’ve informed me that he said that if I ever talked about anything he did, he would try to create a smear campaign against me in retaliation.”
According to Emiru, Mizkif allegedly approached others to join him in such a campaign. “I was told that he even approached other streamers who were close with us back when we lived together, asking them if they would join with him, and they all refused,” she claimed.
She also referenced an alleged encounter at TwitchCon. “At TwitchCon, he approached one of my employees, threatening them and saying if I ever talked about him, he would destroy me,” Emiru said. “Multiple people have told me that his plan was to claim that I kill animals and that I killed my own rabbits since I had several of my rabbits pass away over the course of three years while I lived with him.”
Addressing Mizkif directly, she added, “I’m sure he’s probably listening now and it’s probably going to come as quite a shock to him that this information made its way back to me and that I’ve known for months. But if you try to threaten me to stay quiet, especially using my poor dead animals, I’m not going to stay quiet.”
Emiru said she made the decision to come forward after consulting a lawyer. “I’ve been in contact with a lawyer. I had them review everything that I’m planning to say today because I wanted to make sure that if I was going to do this, I was going to do it right because it’s so serious,” she said.
She closed the stream by revealing she is in the process of filing a restraining order against Mizkif in both California and Texas.
Mizkif, who is a co-founder of the content group OTK, has not yet publicly responded to the allegations.
