Current Situation (October 2025)
On October 25, 2025, during a livestream, Emiru (Emily-Beth Schunk) made serious public allegations against her ex-boyfriend and fellow streamer Mizkif (Matthew Rinaudo). These allegations, which she stated she was making after feeling unsafe and being threatened, include:

Mizkif has publicly responded, denying many allegations and characterizing their relationship as mutually "toxic."

2022 History: The "Cover-Up" Allegation
The 2025 allegations do not exist in a vacuum. This section details the 2022 drama that first connected Mizkif and Emiru to allegations of mishandling sexual assault. Click on each event in the timeline to see more details.
Sep 2022: The Catalyst
CrazySlick is accused of scamming streamers and fans. This leads streamer Trainwreckstv to publicly accuse Mizkif of "covering up" a separate sexual assault by Slick.
The situation began with financial allegations against CrazySlick. In response to industry discussion, Trainwreckstv tweeted that Mizkif was the "main cover upper" of a sexual assault committed by Slick, bringing a 2020 incident to light.
Sep 2022: Adriana Lee's Story
The victim, Adriana Lee, confirms the assault by Slick (2020). She states Mizkif, his then-girlfriend Maya Higa, and Emiru came to her house to pressure her to downplay it.
Adriana Lee stated that CrazySlick had assaulted her by touching her chest while she was passed out in 2020. The core 2022 allegation was her testimony that Mizkif, Maya, and Emiru visited her, and, in a leaked call, were heard minimizing the event and shaping her public statement to protect Slick and Mizkif.
Sep 2022: Emiru's First Apology
Amid backlash from the leaked calls, Emiru releases a TwitLonger apology. She admits to being present and regrets her actions.
In her 2022 apology, Emiru stated she "should have just left" and "failed to recognize the severity of the situation." She apologized for not supporting Adriana and for her role in what was perceived as pressuring a victim.
Dec 2022: OTK Investigation
OTK reinstates Mizkif after a third-party investigation but removes him from the board, citing his "callous disregard" for sexual assault.
The law firm Jackson Walker LLP found "no direct evidence" Mizkif intended to "cover up" sexual assault. However, it found his public reaction showed a "callous disregard towards sexual assault" and a "lack of empathy." He was suspended from board duties but remained an OTK member.
2023: Defamation Lawsuit
Adriana Lee files a defamation lawsuit against Mizkif and others. In January 2025, Mizkif claimed the suit had been "thrown out."
In 2023, Adriana Lee pursued legal action for defamation. This suit remained a background element until early 2025, when Mizkif claimed a legal victory, though the 2022 incident remained a significant part of his public history.
Official Responses & Formal Actions
This section contains summaries of formal statements, investigation outcomes, and declared legal actions related to both the 2022 and 2025 incidents. These are distinct from the narrative summaries in other sections.
Emiru's Stated Legal Action (Oct 2025)
During her October 25, 2025 livestream, Emiru stated that she is in the process of pursuing restraining orders against Mizkif in both California and Texas.
OTK Investigation Finding (Dec 31, 2022)
Regarding the 2022 "cover-up" allegation, the third-party investigation concluded:
"[The investigation] did not find direct evidence that Mizkif attempted to minimize or cover up sexual assault as alleged."
However, OTK's public statement also said:
"OTK believes that Mizkif has shown a callous disregard towards the severity of sexual misconduct... his statements... demonstrated a lack of empathy and ignorance towards the seriousness of the situation."
Emiru's 2022 Apology (Summary)
In her September 2022 TwitLonger, Emiru apologized for her role in the Adriana Lee incident, stating:
"I failed to recognize the severity of the situation and I am so sorry... I should have just left... I'm so sorry that I didn't recognize the position of power I was in, and I'm sorry that I didn't do more to help... I will be better."

Sovereignty Under Siege: When Presidential Power Threatens Constitutional Foundations
- : A Critical Examination of Trump's Military Intervention in Chicago
- : The Militarization of Urban Spaces The streets of Chicago have become a battleground for constitutional rights and federal overreach. President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops represents a dangerous escalation of executive power that threatens the fundamental principles of state sovereignty. By bringing Texas National Guard members into Illinois without local consent, Trump demonstrates a willful disregard for constitutional boundaries.
- Conclusion: The Battle for Democratic Principles We stand at a critical juncture. The deployment of military troops in urban spaces represents more than a local conflict—it's a test of our democratic resilience. Citizens must remain vigilant, informed, and prepared to defend the constitutional principles that protect our fundamental freedoms..
- Educate yourself and others about constitutional rights
- Organize community resistance networks
- Support legal challenges to federal overreach
- Contact local representatives
- Urgent Call to Action:
- Furthermore, this moment connects to broader movements of social justice. From local resistance to international solidarity movements like Free Palestine, citizens must stand united against authoritarian tactics. Each voice raised in opposition becomes a powerful instrument of democratic preservation.
- Resistance is not just possible—it is imperative. Local officials have already taken decisive steps by filing lawsuits and creating protective barriers around immigration enforcement facilities. The message is clear: we will not allow unchecked federal intervention to compromise our community's safety and constitutional rights.
- Legal Complexities and Resistance Northwestern University law professor Paul Anthony Galer provides crucial insight into the legal quagmire surrounding these military deployments. Fundamentally, there is no legal basis for the president's aggressive tactics. The U.S. Constitution explicitly protects state sovereignty, preventing federal authorities from compelling state law enforcement.
A Call to Democratic Action This is a moment that demands active citizen engagement. Whether you say "fuck ICE" or support comprehensive immigration reform, the underlying issue remains the same: protecting constitutional integrity. The struggle extends beyond Chicago—it touches every community threatened by potential federal overreach.
- Moreover, this aggressive action signals a deeply troubling pattern of authoritarian impulses. The president's threats to imprison local officials and hints at invoking the Insurrection Act reveal a profoundly fascist approach to governance. Citizens must recognize this moment as a critical turning point in the protection of democratic norms.
