PewDiePie responds after accidentally leaking his email address twice PewDiePie, YouTubeSocial media star Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg recently moved all of his live streams to YouTube in an exclusive deal \u2014 but one broadcast saw him accidentally leak personal information in front of thousands of viewers. PewDiePie went live on May 14 with fellow YouTuber \u2018CinnamonToastKen,\u2019 setting up a few preferences on his Activision account before jumping into a game. However, one of the settings for his Activision profile featured a menu that revealed his personal email address \u2014 a massive breach of privacy that he quickly noticed. \u201cOh, no!\u201d he exclaimed after realizing his address was displayed on screen for all to see. \u201cIt f**king shared my email. I\u2019m done. I\u2019m f**king done. Careful. \u2026why would it show that? I don\u2019t need to know it.\u201d Despite claiming that he had plans to set up a new account, anyway, he went back into the game after a short break \u2014 and ended up showing his new email, in the process. \u201cNo!\u201d he remarked, breaking out into laughter. \u201cIt happened again. What the f**k is happening? Alright, rest in peace, the other email. \u2026I\u2019m just a big ole f**k up. Oh, well. It was bound to happen at some point.\u201d Thankfully, the YouTuber clarified that this new email was merely a throwaway, meaning that no real damage was done. PewDiePie commented on the humorous slip-up during a May 20 episode of \u201cLWIAY,\u201d after a few fans posted memes about the incident to his subreddit. \u201cYeah, first it was the game\u2019s fault,\u201d he clarified. \u201cAnd then it was just my fault. Because I\u2019m smart like that.\u201d (Topic begins at 1:38 for mobile readers) \u201cYeah, maybe this live streaming thing wasn\u2019t such a good idea,\u201d he continued after laughing at another meme from a fan. \u201cI am such an idiot. I can\u2019t help it! I\u2019m just born and raised dumb. Very dumb-dumb.\u201d Although he\u2019s lost two email accounts due to his accidental leak, Kjellberg revealed that he isn\u2019t afraid to poke fun at himself \u2014 and has probably learned a highly valuable lesson about streaming, in the process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
