Twitch to Support Nonprofits After Emiru’s Assault at TwitchCon – SSBCrack News

Twitch has issued a heartfelt statement following a distressing incident involving popular streamer Emiru, who was assaulted during a meet-and-greet at the TwitchCon event in San Diego earlier this month. The company expressed deep regret for failing to ensure her safety, noting that they take the responsibility of protecting attendees seriously but did not succeed in this instance. In a post on X, Twitch detailed that on the first day of the 2025 TwitchCon event, one of its valued creators, known as Emiru (real name Emily-Beth Schunk), was assaulted by an attendee. A video circulating on social media showed a man approaching Emiru, attempting to grab her face and kiss her, before being intervened by her personal security guard. The incident triggered outrage within the streaming community and raised significant questions about event security protocols. Following the incident, Emiru publicly accused Twitch of not cooperating fully with law enforcement. She claimed that when her manager requested the assailant’s identity, Twitch initially withheld the information, which she feared allowed the perpetrator to flee the area. Emiru recalled that after receiving a tip about the assailant, Twitch eventually provided his name to the police, but only after substantial pressure from her team.
