AdmiralBahroo apologizes as Bunny Ayu drama ties VTuber to harassment claims Twitch: AdmiralBahrooTwitch streamer \u2018AdmiralBahroo\u2019 has apologized after he was tied to claims made by scores of fellow VTubers about community figure Bunny Ayu\u2019s \u201charassment, manipulation, and abuse.\u201d He ended his 19-day subathon abruptly after the claims came to light. On March 16, popular independent VTuber Bunny_GIF \u2014 also known as Bunny Ayu \u2014 posted a statement on Twitter asking \u201canyone with animosity towards me from the past\u201d to come forward and have \u201ctough conversations.\u201d What the VTuber didn\u2019t expect was scores of people coming out with claims of \u201charassment, manipulation, and abuse\u201d dating back years to before she was a VTuber. LaynaLazar, who worked with Bunny to design a figure to sell, claims Bunny failed to fulfill her business obligations and then talked to other creators behind her back: \u201cBunny has told a vast majority of people, consistently coming after me, actively trying to sabotage me with slander, that I scammed her out of money.\u201d My full experience with Bunny_Gif [with evidence] Read: https:\/\/t.co\/kRjcmir2jZ \u2014 Layna\ud83d\udc89\ud83e\ude78 (@LaynaLazar) March 17, 2022 It didn\u2019t stop there, as creators like ImSinnocent, Meowri, Bunny\u2019s former partner Susu, Sam \u2018Strippin\u2019 Thorne, and more relayed their own experiences with the content creator. It\u2019s that last one that has caught popular Twitch streamer turned VTuber AdmiralBahroo up. After Layna took a break and returned to streaming following the cancellation of Bunny\u2019s figure, she heard claims Bahroo was also defaming her behind her back. \u201cI was so scared of making new friends, and interacting with anyone who had contact with Bahroo or Bunny,\u201d she said. \u201cIt turns out my insecurities were correct, he had reached out to a close friend of mine, claiming I was as bad as Arcadum [a disgraced streamer who had numerous sexual harassment allegations against him], claiming I was a pathological liar, saying I DM everyone I collab or interact with. \u201cNot only has [Bunny] never left me alone in the VTuber community, Bahroo is now doing the same thing, but reaching higher heights to drag me in any way he can.\u201d Bahroo initially attacked Layna\u2019s claims, asking to not be \u201cdragged into your petty squabbles.\u201d However, Layna\u2019s claims were backed up by Strippin, who said he was the close friend referenced. \u201cI acted on this privately, and after eventually speaking with Layna it seemed apparent Bahroo was acting with Bunny or on her behalf to greatly damage my first impression of Layna,\u201d he said. He shared a DM he had with Bahroo on January 25, in which Bahroo said \u201c[Layna] is a pathological liar and has been ruining my friends life. She literally DMs every person she [collabs with]\u2026 this is some next level main character syndrome that rivals that of Arcadum.\u201d This forced Bahroo to come out with his own statement, apologizing to Layna, other victims, and Strippin. \u201cI was given a version of you and just took it at face value without even so much of a single word about it. I can own up to that even if it did take being dragged out to see it,\u201d he said about Layna. \u201cI am genuinely sorry and will do my best to talk to others with a bit more care.\u201d Regarding Layna, Strippin, and my Community. Read: https:\/\/t.co\/DKp2Kxh0fU \u2014 Bahroo (@AdmiralBahroo) March 19, 2022 He also admitted he needed to realize the influence his platform has \u2014 which consists of more than 850,000 followers on Twitch \u2014 can cause damage to smaller creators. \u201cI have a large platform, and today I really had to have a conversation with myself that I can also influence them wrongly at others. Layna got a variety of hate from me because I acted hostile to her publicly without there being any prior conversation to my community about her.\u201d Bahroo, who was 19 days into a subathon, immediately ended his stream after Strippin\u2019s Twitlonger and offered refunds to fans who donated during that time. However, he plans to keep on streaming despite the allegations. \u201cI still plan on streaming like usual. It\u2019s my routine at this point in life. I want to actually just be a nicer person to people. I realize I am very cold in private, and I need to fix that.\u201d Bunny Ayu responded to the allegations on March 18, admitting she was \u201csassy and abrasive\u201d but said \u201cmany things were taken out of context.\u201d \u201cI know what I\u2019ve done wrong, I\u2019m not perfect, and I\u2019ve grown from not only this event, but the past events as well. I\u2019m still open to talk to anyone who I have caused issues with.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
