Dafran faces backlash for comments on Sinatraa abuse allegations Stewart Volland and Robert Paul for Blizzard EntertainmentFormer Overwatch League pro and Twitch streamer Daniel \u2018Dafran\u2019 Francesca is facing backlash for his comments regarding sexual abuse allegations against his former teammate Jay \u2018Sinatraa\u2019 Won. On March 9, ex-girlfriend of Sinatraa, Cleo \u2018cle0h\u2019 Hernandez, accused the Sentinels Valorant star of abuse in a document that contained screenshots and even an audio recording. Dafran posted a tweet in defense of the 2019 Overwatch League MVP. This defense came before both Sentinels and Riot Games each decided to suspend Sinatraa while conducting their own internal investigations. \u201cWe have to wait for Sinatraa\u2019s side of the story,\u201d Francesca wrote. \u201cE-girls can be f***ing scary as a Twitch streamer. They will try to jebait or photoshop evidence and then f*** you. I\u2019m not saying she is one, but she could be. People have been waiting for something to cancel Sinatraa over.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/dafran\/status\/1369563442319925251 Dafran, who was a former teammate of Sinatraa\u2019s in the pre-OWL Selfless Gaming days, later suggested that an audio recording provided by the supposed victim could be taken out of context. \u201cI have choked and slapped women in bed because that\u2019s what they like and maybe I like it a little too, who knows. Imagine if that is taken out of context,\u201d he replied. Okay? I have choked and slapped woman in bed because thats what they like and maybe I like it a little too, who knows. Imagine if that is taken out of context \u2014 Dafran (@dafran) March 10, 2021 Several high-profile streamers and esports figures called out Dafran for his remarks, including former Washington Justice General Manager Analynn \u2018bawlynn\u2019 Dang. \u201cThis is not it and the lack of empathy is horrifying,\u201d Dang commented. \u201cPlease consider the message you are sending out to people by letting them know you think it\u2019s okay to not believe women and to just group them as egirls.\u201d This is not it and the lack of empathy is horrifying. Please consider the message you are sending out to people by letting them know you think it\u2019s okay to not believe women and to just group them as egirls. \u2014 Analynn Dang (@bawlynn) March 10, 2021 World of Warcraft streamer Asmongold also chimed in, saying that while Dafran\u2019s perspective was \u201cnoble\u201d it was \u201cstated boorishly.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s disappointing to see so many people use it as an opportunity to shit on Dafran for bad wording rather than supporting the victim,\u201d he added. A noble perspective although stated boorishly It\u2019s disappointing to see so many people use it as an opportunity to shit on Dafran for bad wording rather than supporting the victim That being said, evidence looks really damming especially with audio leaks as well \u2014 Zack (@Asmongold) March 10, 2021 Things got especially heated when QuarterJade and former Overwatch pro Anthony \u2018Harbleu\u2019 Ballo got involved. QuarterJade\u2019s response of \u201cliterally shut the f*** up\u201d was met with a \u201cf*** you\u201d by Francesca, while Harbleu accused Dafran of being immature. \u201cThis is the type of dumbass take I\u2019d expect from a 17-18 year old,\u201d the Luminosity streamer blasted. \u201cKeep acting like a 15-year-old the rest of your life, I\u2019m sure it will keep working out for you. Maybe try farming again? Or was that too much work for you.\u201d Glad to see you haven’t changed one bit. Never liked you in OW and glad you’ve left for valorant. Keep acting like a 15 year old the rest of your life, I’m sure it will keep working out for you. Maybe try farming again? Or was that too much work for you. \u2014 Anthony Ballo (@harbleuOW) March 10, 2021 Dafran accused Ballo of being \u201cpassive-aggressive.\u201d Sinatraa finally broke his silence a day after the allegations first surfaced. In a brief TwitLonger, he denied accusations of abuse, claiming that he \u201cnever assaulted her in any way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
