Popular Twitch streamer Emiru was accosted by a man at TwitchCon 2025 during a meet-and-greet session with fans.
A video of the incident – which reportedly took place on Oct 17 – posted online shows the streamer interacting with a male fan when another man, in a grey plaid shirt, hurriedly approaches Emiru.
The man embraces her and appears to lean in for a kiss before a security staff member steps in and shoves him away.
The 27-year-old streamer, whose real name is Emily Beth Schunk, later said in an Oct 19 post on X that she was disappointed in how the security staff at TwitchCon “did not react and let the guy walk away”.
Emiru, who has nearly two million followers on streaming platform Twitch, added: “The security guard in the clip who reacts is my own security… My friend told me Twitch security were joking afterwards about how they did not even see what happened.”
She added that this was not the first time someone has assaulted her at an event and that this would be the last time she would be attending the streaming platform’s convention.
In an X post on Oct 18, Twitch said that “law enforcement and event security were on-site and responded to the incident”.
It added that the man was “immediately blocked” from returning to the TwitchCon premises, in contrast to Emiru’s account.
