Pokimane Alleges Misuse by Former Twitch Employee
Pokimane shares her story about a past Twitch employee who exploited his position to manipulate female viewers.
In a recent podcast episode, Pokimane revealed that a former Twitch employee exploited his position to falsely claim a personal relationship with her. This individual, who acted as a moderator for her, manipulated female viewers by claiming romantic ties and even asserted that Pokimane was abusive.
Despite previously mentioning this individual, Pokimane highlighted the new detail that he worked at Twitch while taking advantage of his role. The implications of such behavior are significant in the streaming community, where trust and ethics are paramount.
Pokimane shared how this employee, who was part of the safety department at Twitch, used his influence to foray into inappropriate relationships and manipulate various situations. Although she worked quietly with Twitch to address the issue, the employee left the platform for Riot Games, prompting her to warn Riot about his actions.
Sadly, such patterns of exploitation are not uncommon in the streaming industry. As she reflects on this experience, Pokimane emphasizes the need for accountability in the gaming and streaming community, ensuring that positions of power are not misused.
