"Seeing emiru get assaulted after twitch banned her preferred personal bodyguard from being there to protect her and watching the guy walk away in the clip is incredibly disappointing. Stay safe everybody, nothing but love to you emi" Valkyrae stated on X “Safety’s your highest priority? You banned Emiru’s security guard because he did his job 2 years ago.

What a joke.” TECTONE frustratingly responded on X“I look forward to discussing the veracity of this statement tomorrow.” Asmongold replied directly to Twitch’s official statement
