Twitch star Emiru has finally spoken out following a disturbing encounter with an overly aggressive fan during TwitchCon 2025. The annual event — typically a celebration of gaming and live streaming culture — took a dark turn when the popular streamer was reportedly grabbed and harassed by an attendee during a scheduled meet-and-greet session.
According to eyewitness reports, the incident unfolded when a male fan breached multiple barriers and rushed toward Emiru, attempting to hug her without consent. Security personnel intervened immediately, but not before the situation escalated, leaving many attendees and fellow creators shocked.
Following widespread backlash from the streaming community, Twitch issued a short statement addressing the situation and promising an internal review of its security protocols. However, fans and creators alike were quick to criticize the platform for what they called a “complete failure of safety enforcement.”
Earlier today, Emiru released her own official statement, offering personal insight into what happened and her feelings about the situation. She expressed frustration with Twitch’s lack of preparedness, revealing that the individual responsible for the assault had managed to pass through multiple restricted areas — including another streamer’s meet-and-greet — before reaching her.
“He was allowed to get through more than one barrier,” Emiru stated. “It wasn’t Twitch staff who intervened — it was my personal security team.”
She further explained that the attacker wasn’t detained until hours later, raising serious questions about the event’s response time and safety management. Emiru’s post quickly went viral across social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), drawing messages of support from fans and fellow streamers.
In her closing remarks, Emiru warned other creators about the potential dangers of attending future TwitchCon events, stating that despite being a regular attendee for nearly a decade, this year’s experience made her reconsider her participation.
“I didn’t feel protected,” she wrote. “Until Twitch can guarantee safety for its creators, I don’t think it’s worth the risk.”
The unsettling event comes at a time when Twitch has been under scrutiny for multiple controversies, from moderation inconsistencies to creator burnout. Just months earlier, IShowSpeed made headlines with his record-breaking return to Twitch, while Amouranth rejoined the platform after a two-year hiatus.
Many in the community now hope that Emiru’s experience will prompt Twitch to improve its on-site security measures and provide streamers with better protection during public events. Until then, creators are being urged to bring personal security or reconsider attending large conventions altogether.
As Emiru continues to recover from the shocking event, her fans remain steadfast in their support, pushing for accountability and systemic change within the streaming giant.
