Also, because this isn’t anywhere near the first time Emiru has been attacked in public, she points out that she’s spent tens of thousands of dollars for her own private security, and wasn’t even allowed to bring her preferred bodyguard with her because he’s permanently banned from Twitch events due to restraining a stalker during a previous event.
What the fuck? They banned her bodyguard for protecting her and then asked her to come back without him? It’s like they wanted her to get assaulted.
It seems like they need her at their event for credibility, but she doesn’t really need them. They fucked up by not recognizing this, and now they are going to lose her drawing power at future events. And all they had to do was protect a girl from known weirdos. Nice job, dickheads.
This is the second or third version of this story that I’ve heard in this comment chain and I’m having trouble searching for articles about the original incident, hits from the new one are flooding the results. Do you happen to have a link to more info?
From how she describes it in the video, he apparently held the stalker by the arm until police arrived. It doesn’t seem like he roughed the guy up or injured him at all. It really seems like Twitch applied the “no touching” rule to the wrong person.
I feel crazy for even saying it, but yeah, that is exactly what it looks like to me. Like Twitch staff specifically wanted this to happen, as some sort of revenge against her for mistreating their fellow predators.

There’s at least one individual inside the company that was involved in that decision. They should all have liability here, as individuals.
“Assault drama is great for algorithmic engagement” - Twitch prolly
In fairness we’re taking that comment as face value without knowing what level of violence “restraining a stalker” entailed.
