Exploring Mizkif's complaints against Emiru and Asmongold in the legal document

According to a 12-page legal document uploaded to the docket mentioned above, Mizkif, the plaintiff, has filed a lawsuit against the defendants Emiru, Asmongold, OTK Media, Mythic Talent, and King Gaming Labs.

On the fifth page of the document, under the "Plaintiff's Original Complaint" section, Mizkif accused Emiru of "defaming and portraying him as a perpetrator of sexual assault" after she made allegations of sexual assault, domestic and physical abuse, blackmail threats, and stalking against him in October 2025.

An excerpt from the court document reads:

"18. Ten months later, on October 24, 2025, Schunk hosted a livestream on Twitch. On the livestream, she lied and baselessly accused Rinaudo of “psychological and domestic abuse, stalking and harassment, sexual assault, and threats of blackmail.” These slanderous accusations were made live before an audience of tens of thousands and have since been viewed millions of times across various platforms. 19. In the same livestream, Schunk gives accounts of their relationship that clearly do not support the allegations she levied."

"For example, in her own description of the purported “sexual assault,” Schunk states she and Rinaudo were kissing, he tried to initiate intercourse, she made clear she did not want to, and he stopped, respecting the line that she had drawn: He started kissing me in my face and I let him do it . . . and then suddenly he tried to climb on top of me and aggressively shoved his hands down my pants and I screamed. And when I screamed he jumped off me, like a cat. Nonetheless, she continued to defame Rinaudo and portray him as a perpetrator of sexual assault in a video she knew full well would be viewed by millions."

The document's seventh page went into detail about why Mizkif filed a lawsuit against Asmongold. It was stated that Asmongold had "defamed" Mizkif "on a near daily basis," and that the former suggested that the latter "should be in jail":

25. Hoyt, who streams under the handle Asmongold, is a part owner of OTK. Since Schunk’s livestream, Hoyt has continuously defamed Rinaudo on a near daily basis. He has claimed inter alia Rinaudo should be in jail, claimed he was abusing and manipulating others, hurting other people, and becoming an aggressor. 26. For example, in a livestream that has since been uploaded to YouTube where it garnered 1.9 million views as of the date of this filing, Hoyt states directly that Rinaudo was “the aggressor and abuser” in the relationship with Schunk. Hoyt would then qualify his statement by saying “at least allegedly,” but disclaimed that disclaimer itself by saying he “has to say that for legal reasons.” 27. Hoyt has on a near daily basis reaffirmed the “truth” of Schunk’s allegations before his millions of followers"
