Background
In October 2025, Emiru (Emily Schunk) streamed on Twitch accusing former boyfriend Mizkif (Matthew Rinaudo) of sexual assault, domestic abuse, stalking, harassment and blackmail, and said she was filing restraining orders in Texas and California. Mizkif denied the claims and later filed a defamation lawsuit against Emiru and several parties, including fellow streamer Asmongold (Zack Hoyt), the OTK network, Mythic Talent Management and King Gaming Labs.
The lawsuit was filed in the Western District of Texas. OTK publicly supported Emiru and announced it had cut ties with Mizkif, though it said the termination pre‑dated the allegations. Both streamers have used their platforms to discuss the case, with Mizkif releasing a 45‑minute video on July 7 2026 outlining his position and the court’s recent recommendations.
