AdmiralBahroo takes Twitch break as harassment claims ramp up against VTuber Twitch: AdmiralBahrooTwitch streamer AdmiralBahroo has announced they\u2019re taking a break from the platform as harassment claims ramp up against the VTuber. He was originally tied up in the Bunny Ayu controversy, but more have come out with their own stories about Bahroo \u2014 which the streamer has vehemently denied. AdmiralBahroo and fellow VTuber Bunny Ayu have been at the center of Twitch controversy this week following allegations of abuse and harassment. Numerous creators have spoken out about the actions of Bunny, which has prompted the social media star to come out and apologize for their actions \u2014 while also denying most of the claims. Now, AdmiralBahroo is facing the same pressure. After those allegations tied AdmiralBahroo to Bunny, new streamers are coming out with their own stories about the panda VTuber. Twitch streamer \u2018Arex\u2019 went viral with his comments about Bahroo\u2019s emotional abuse. After becoming close with Bahroo in 2018, Arex\u2019s relationship with the streamer deteriorated rapidly across two years. He had approached Bahroo about dealing with issues privately, but claimed \u201che wouldn\u2019t listen to me and gaslit everything I said which made me silent.\u201d \u201cIt took my friend Sam [Strippin] to expose Bahroo\u2019s lies for him to finally \u2018apologize\u2019,\u201d he said in a Twitlonger. \u201cUntil that moment, he was on stream and victimizing himself despite knowing what he had done to Layna. I feel he often uses these opportunities to manipulate the situation.\u201d Arex went on to describe how Bahroo \u201cdrove [him] into an awful mental state\u201d by bullying the streamer. He would constantly drop into his streams to \u201cadvertise himself\u2026in front of all the new people that were watching\u201d, which peaked when he went viral during Pokemon Let\u2019s Go\u2019s rise. \u201cOnce people moved on he saw no value anymore,\u201d he added. \u201cAt one point in time my whole chat consisted of Bahroo\u2019s subs. It was if someone copy-pasted his chat on top of my Twitch channel page. I was dominated by his influence and I just sat there and dealt with it.\u201d The streamer, who has nearly 150,000 followers, also described how Bahroo would talk about others \u2014 including Arex \u2014 behind their back. This was an accusation backed up by Strippin and Layna in their earlier statements. Bahroo would often lean on other streamers for emotional support, but Arex claimed \u201cit just seemed like he wanted pity. It was really sad.\u201d It peaked in 2020 when Bahroo admitted to being a \u201csh** friend\u201d to Arex privately, but in the wave of \u201ccancel culture\u201d the VTuber would pester Arex about him having a chat instead of going public. \u201cI don\u2019t know but I wanted to get away from him so badly. Too many red flags. All he cared about was if I was going to out him. From there I refused to talk to him and swore to never associate myself with him ever again.\u201d Bahroo and his manager were hunting down answers while Arex was trying to move on, including filing a cease and desist letter to try and shut down any discussion on his personal stream. \u201cDespite him having no grounds to actually take legal action against me this still shook me to the core. I wanted to call it out so badly but I stayed silent in fear of him coming after me again. I\u2019ve seen him crush so many people that have spoken out against him. I felt isolated. \u201cHe can try and claim he was misled by Bunny when he made lies about Layna, but to me that was his own wrongdoing.\u201d After the initial Twitlonger statement, Bahroo came out swinging on Twitch, calling the entire saga a \u201cwitch hunt\u201d. \u201cWe tried to end things amicably, we really tried, but now it\u2019s time for the nuclear option. I\u2019m not going to be reading all of this on stream, but I will be using my platform to direct towards the truth,\u201d he said on a now-deleted March 22 stream, which lasted 22 minutes. \u201cThe internet is not a place for you to air your dirty laundry like this. I will not be bullied off my own platform when I, myself, have tried to reconcile multiple times in private.\u201d Bahroo called LaynaLazar \u2014 one of the first people to come out with statements against Bahroo \u2014 a \u201cprofessional victim\u201d and said he \u201cwill not be bullied off the internet\u201d for approaching other streamers with concerns based on stories told by Bunny. \u201cThat\u2019s where all of this began and started, and we\u2019re not going to let it go on any longer. \u201cI tried admitting wrongdoing and moving on, but it\u2019s not going to be enough for people. Here\u2019s the plan. I\u2019ve been able to use my platform to direct you all to the actual truth. I\u2019ve taken this time to actually admit that, hey, I tried to reach out privately. \u201cI even got my manager involved. Just because we wanted to handle things like business professionals. Some of you, that\u2019s not going to be good enough.\u201d While he promised viewers he\u2019ll \u201csee them tomorrow\u201d, he quickly ended stream before announcing he would be taking a break from Twitch. \u201cI have not hid that I was a terrible friend. I truly do want to improve with you all. I\u2019ll be taking some time off. Some may never be able to see me change, I will do my best to hold myself accountable for my actions. This is all I can offer you,\u201d he said just hours after the stream. \u201cI am not a good person. Anything I try to type out right now will be extremely emotionally charged. I have wronged many over the years through my words. When I return I will address every person, especially those that have not yet said anything about me.\u201d I am not a good person. Anything I try to type out right now will be extremely emotionally charged. I have wronged many over the years through my words. When I return I will address every person, especially those that have not yet said anything about me. My DMS are open. \u2014 Bahroo (@AdmiralBahroo) March 22, 2022 Bahroo\u2019s statement comes on the same day that Bunny issued a second Twitlonger with \u201call cards on the table\u201d. While Bunny didn\u2019t deny all the claims against them and stated \u201cI am sorry for who I was and have been\u201d, she added her life had been \u201cruined\u201d by the accusations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
