Asmongold defends Valkyrae in Twitch return: \u201cPeople make mistakes\u201d Twitch: Asmongold \/ YouTube: ValkyraeAsmongold returned to Twitch, and one of the first things he did was defend Rachell \u2018Valkyrae\u2019 Hofstetter over the RFLCT skincare drama, claiming that \u201cshe obviously got played.\u201d Asmongold took some time off streaming after his mother sadly passed away. However, he made a brief re-appearance in which he vowed to be \u201cless of an a**hole\u201d moving forward and confirmed plans to return in the near future. He followed through with those claims and returned to the platform on November 7. He also took some time to address the backlash surrounding Valkyrae\u2019s now-defunct RFLCT skincare line, which forced her to see a therapist. \u201cThe RFLCT thing was dumb,\u201d he said. \u201cBut Valkyrae, she obviously got played. That\u2019s why she\u2019s not doing the deal anymore.\u201d He believes she could have ignored all the backlash still sold it. \u201cA handful of people would have been pissed off. But that\u2019s it, right? If she had just ignored it, she could have been fine.\u201d However, he commended her for not doing that and believes it\u2019s proof she got played. \u201cShe chose not to because she didn\u2019t want to get played herself even if she did make money on it. Because you look like an idiot.\u201d Still, he admitted that she should be held accountable, at least in part, for putting herself in that position. But he believes it will serve as a \u201clearning experience\u201d and reminded fans that \u201cpeople make mistakes.\u201d Asmongold isn\u2019t the only streamer who has weighed in on the situation. Nadeshot, Pokimane, Sykkuno, and many others voiced their opinion, too. Valkyrae was very open about her struggles regarding the RFLCT drama, and how she\u2019s now seeing a therapist. But the good news is that she\u2019s back to doing what she does best \u2013 streaming \u2013 after taking a brief hiatus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
