Emiru Disputes Twitch’s Response After On-Camera Assault at TwitchCon

Twitch says the attendee is permanently banned with law enforcement involvement.

Overview

  • Fan video shows a man bypass barriers, grab Emiru’s face, and appear to attempt a kiss before her personal security shoved him away.
  • Emiru calls Twitch’s statement a “blatant lie,” alleging event staff failed to intervene or check on her and allowed the man to leave.
  • Twitch says it blocked the individual from returning, issued an indefinite ban from its platform and events, and is cooperating with police under existing protocols.
  • The company detailed added measures for the remainder of the convention, including increased personnel around meet-and-greet areas.
  • Emiru says she will not attend future TwitchCons and urged creators without private security to reconsider, while reporting notes Twitch has not directly addressed her specific accusations.
