With YouTube convulsions Content creator Mizkif announced that a court had dismissed charges filed against him in 2022. These allegations sparked considerable controversy in the streaming community at the time, and in 2023, Adrianah Lee was joined by Twitch streamer Mizkif, CrazySlick, and OTK organization Maya Higa and Mizkif's company. The lawsuit accuses the defendants of making false statements about Lee, resulting in loss of reputation, followers, sponsors and income.
In September 2022, Adrianah Lee accused CrazySlick of assaulting her at a party in 2021, claiming that Mizkif and his ex-girlfriend Maya Higa encouraged her to downplay the incident to protect CrazySlick. Mizkif later apologized for minimizing the situation, and OTK placed him on unpaid leave while a third-party law firm conducted an investigation. The investigation found no direct evidence of a cover-up, but OTK accused Mizkif of a lack of empathy and suspended him from board duties so he could return on probation. This decision sparked backlash, with many in the Twitch community questioning the investigation's conclusions and OTK's response.

Valkyrae reveals one reason she's leaving YouTube for Twitch
Popular content creator Valkyrae reveals the key reasons why she decided to leave YouTube and switch to Twitch after five years.
In her recent YouTube video 'It's Time to Talk', Mizkif shared her perspective on the consequences of the allegations against her. He explained that two years ago false stories were spread about him by another content creator, which he felt was done with dishonest intentions. Mizkiv noted that when it comes to stories about sexual assault cover-ups, many people, including famous YouTubers, do not understand the truth and are spreading lies without making any effort to find the truth. As a result, these accusations did serious damage to his reputation and personal life. Mizkiv announced that after a lengthy legal battle, the court had dismissed all charges against him.
Mizkif said the charges still affect his daily life.
Mizkif also said the plaintiffs who brought the charges should bear attorney fees. Despite the legal settlement, Mizkif said the emotional impact of the incident continued. He revealed that the trauma of this period still affects him, especially in certain spaces, such as his home. He said that when he goes to certain rooms, his brain “freezes” because he feels the emotional pain of tribulation.
Additionally, popular streamer Mizkif said he is ready to post regular content on his main YouTube channel. While there was relief with the resolution of his legal case, it's worth mentioning that Mizkiv's recent comments suggesting political flags be banned from the platform have drawn mixed reactions. Some social media users claimed his comments were closer to 'farming' bait clips rather than a serious suggestion.
