Inside the Mizkif–Emiru Fallout: What Really Sparked Their Twitch Split

Big week in Twitchland. Streamer Emiru went live on October 25, 2025 and laid out a long list of serious allegations against her ex, fellow creator Mizkif. We are talking sexual assault, psychological and domestic abuse, stalking, harassment, and threats. She says this started when they began dating in 2022 and escalated after the breakup. The fallout has been instant and messy.

How they got here

Quick background: Emily Beth Schunk (aka Emiru) joined Mizkif's org One True King (OTK) in January 2022. On her October 2025 stream, she publicly confirmed for the first time that they had also been in a relationship.

What she says happened

• Control over her day-to-day: Emiru says Mizkif dictated how she dressed (he wanted her to look "older"), told her to stop wearing pajamas on stream, and restricted where she could go and who she could see. Mizkif later acknowledged on his own stream that he did try to control those things.
• Violence and intimidation: She alleges he threw objects at her, including plastic bottles and a phone that, she says, left her with a black eye.
• Reckless driving during fights: According to Emiru, he would drive up to 150 mph while they argued, as she begged him to slow down.
• Harassment, stalking, and threats: She describes ongoing psychological abuse and says he threatened blackmail.
• The most serious claim: After they broke up, she alleges he sexually assaulted her at her home.

Her account of the post-breakup incident

Emiru described the assault at length on stream. Here is the core of what she says happened:

We had not talked in a while. He started kissing my face while I was crying. Then he tried to climb on top of me and shoved his hand down my pants. I screamed and he jumped off, said he felt like he did something wrong, and left my house while I was still crying.

Mizkif's response

After her stream, Mizkif addressed the situation live. He admitted to some toxic and controlling behavior, but also claimed Emiru was violent and toxic toward him. Before getting into specifics, he warned he had "hundreds of messages" that could reveal private info about others in the streaming scene and said, "I will expose everything about every person that you have ever known... let's watch the world burn." Clips of both streams spread quickly via creators and esports reporters on X over October 25-26.

This all hit days after a separate incident at TwitchCon

One more piece of context making this even uglier: on October 17, 2025 at TwitchCon in San Diego, a man broke through a barrier during Emiru's meet-and-greet, grabbed her face, and tried to kiss her. She pushed him away and screamed. Her personal security intervened, but TwitchCon security did not detain the man and he was able to walk off. Twitch CEO Dan Clancy later posted an apology and took responsibility for the breakdown:

It should not have happened, and we failed both in allowing it and in our response after. We also mishandled communication about the incident. I apologize to Emiru.

The incident reignited long-running complaints about event safety, especially for women. Emiru has since urged other creators to think twice about attending future TwitchCons given the security issues.

Where this leaves things

No official law enforcement update yet. On platform, the community is split between shock, support, and waiting for more receipts. The power dynamics here are tough: colleagues turned partners under the same org, a public breakup, and now competing livestream narratives with heavy claims on both sides. None of this is normal workplace conflict, and it is not blowing over anytime soon.
