Is Twitch About to Ban Mizkif? How Emiru’s Abuse Allegations Rocked the Platform
Emiru’s October 25, 2025 livestream has rocked Twitch, as she detailed allegations against ex-partner and fellow streamer Mizkif and described disturbing past experiences. The claims have ignited a platform-wide firestorm and a growing chorus of calls to ban him.
The Twitch scene had a full-on meltdown this weekend. On October 25, 2025, streamer Emiru went live and detailed serious allegations against her ex, fellow streamer Mizkif. The fallout was instant: #BanMizkif trended, creators and even some OTK members publicly sided with Emiru, and a lot of people started calling Twitch soft on its top talent. As of now, Twitch hasn’t banned or suspended him.
- Emiru alleged years of psychological abuse, stalking, sexual assault, harassment, and blackmail by Mizkif during their relationship
- She said she stayed quiet most of 2025 but spoke up after hearing about new Mizkif incidents in Los Angeles
- She plans to seek restraining orders in both California and Texas and consulted a lawyer before going public
- Mizkif responded live: admitted to punching walls, slamming doors, yelling, and threatening self-harm during fights; he framed the relationship as mutually toxic
- He also accused Emiru of neglecting pets, which many saw as an attempt to discredit her
- In a separate stream, he threatened to leak other creators’ private messages, which backfired hard
- Context: Mizkif has previously been accused of helping cover up a sexual assault involving another streamer
- Timing: Emiru was recently assaulted by a stranger at TwitchCon 2025; Twitch CEO Dan Clancy publicly admitted security failures afterward
- Community pressure is intense, but Twitch has not announced any action against Mizkif
What Emiru says happened
Emiru described a relationship where, behind the scenes, things were emotionally chaotic and progressively dangerous. She said Mizkif would yell, slam doors, and bang on them hard enough that she began locking herself in the streaming room to feel safe. She also recounted an incident where, under the pretense of comforting her, he allegedly assaulted her. The emotional volatility, she said, came with threats about what would happen if she ever spoke out.
'If she ever talks about me, I'll destroy her.'
According to Emiru, she tried to handle all of this privately for most of the year, but after hearing about new incidents involving him in Los Angeles, she decided to come forward. She says she consulted an attorney before streaming and now plans to file for restraining orders in California and Texas.
Mizkif's response
Mizkif went live soon after the allegations started circulating. He looked rattled and didn’t fully refute what was said. He acknowledged punching holes in walls, slamming doors, yelling, and threatening self-harm when arguments spiraled. He insisted the relationship was mutually toxic rather than one-sided abuse. He also claimed Emiru neglected her pets, which a lot of viewers read as an attempt to undercut her credibility rather than address the core accusations.
He further admitted he felt jealous of Emiru’s fast rise on Twitch and called those feelings 'disgusting.' That bit of honesty didn’t land the way he probably hoped — many felt he was minimizing harm while angling for sympathy. In a separate stream, he threatened to release private messages from other creators, which most people took as intimidation and revenge, and it only made the blowback worse.
Why the community is heated
Once Emiru’s stream clipped around, creators and viewers rallied in her corner — including several folks tied to OTK. #BanMizkif took off, and the broader complaint resurfaced: Twitch goes easier on big names than it should. That criticism isn’t coming out of nowhere either; Mizkif’s name has been attached before to allegations that he helped downplay or cover up a sexual assault involving another streamer. With all that history in people’s heads, the patience for nuance is basically gone.
The TwitchCon backdrop
The timing here makes everything feel even worse. Emiru says she was assaulted by a stranger at TwitchCon 2025, and afterward CEO Dan Clancy publicly admitted the event’s security failed. So now the conversation isn’t just about a messy, high-profile breakup — it’s about Twitch’s responsibility both at its events and in how it handles serious misconduct by top creators.
What comes next
Emiru says she’s taking legal steps now. Twitch, meanwhile, hasn’t announced any suspension or ban for Mizkif. With the community this loud and receipts continuing to surface on stream, there’s no version of this where it quietly goes away. Whether the platform acts — and how — is the next big thing to watch.
