Popular YouTuber Squizzy accused of assaulting ex-partner Instagram: SquizzyPopular Australian YouTuber Hyojin \u2018Squizzy\u2019 Choi has been accused of emotionally and physically abusing ex-partner Punk Duck. He detailed numerous instances in a July 19 dossier, including an alleged assault in 2020. Squizzy is one of the biggest YouTubers in Australia boasting a following of more than 1 million subscribers thanks to their popular short animation videos. However they are now facing public scrutiny over serious allegations of assault and abuse. In a dossier titled \u201cmy history with my abuser,\u201d Squizzy\u2019s ex-partner Punk Duck detailed the years of abuse he allegedly suffered at the hands of the popular YouTuber. The relationship started out with rose-tinted glasses, although looking back he realized there were red flags pointing towards emotional abuse. \u201cThe first six months were mostly fine. Occasionally they would do the classic \u2018redirect anger you\u2019re feeling from unrelated issues to your partner\u2019 and berate me but I kept being promised it would stop and I believed it,\u201d Duck said. \u201cAny time arguments would happen they would always be my fault in one of two ways: either I actually f**ked up, or it was a problem they would cause. I would try to approach them and tell them how they hurt me\u2026 and it would instantly turn into emotional manipulation.\u201d However, things turned physical at the start of 2020. While visiting Squizzy in Australia, Punk Duck retold a story of how the two got into an argument over installing a game on Steam which led to them hitting him \u201cso hard\u2026my head bounced off the wall.\u201d \u201cThis was the first moment I realized I was in an abusive relationship. For a year it was emotional, and now it was physical. So I did what most reasonable people do: I f**king panicked. \u201cI phoned up one of our friends who lived nearby, explained to him what just happened as quickly as possible and\u2026 he saved my life. I ask him if I can stay with him for the remainder of my trip and he instantly agrees. He immediately calls an ambulance to their house and an Uber for myself so I can get to his place.\u201d While he was packing to leave though, Squizzy allegedly walked in and threatened not only to stab Punk Duck with a knife they got, but also themselves. \u201cAt first they point it at me, then at themself,\u201d he continued. \u201cI lunge to try and disarm them and they scratch up my arm pretty bad. I manage to get the knife but it was at this point that their mother walked in. \u201cShe starts screaming at Hyojin, saying they\u2019re an attention whore, a drama queen, how they always do this, that they\u2019re sick in the head and she just walks away like she didn\u2019t see anything. The police show up along with the ambulance. I tell them what happened, and they take my partner away.\u201d With criminal charges on the table, Punk Duck decided to forgive Squizzy under the promise of \u201cthings getting better\u201d. However, he later said \u201cforgiving them for this was the worst mistake of my life.\u201d \u201cLetting that go basically opened the floodgates for every piece of textbook abuse you can imagine. How the mildest complication means I don\u2019t love them, constantly suicide baiting \u2014 telling me that if I leave they would kill themselves.\u201d Punk Duck eventually broke up with Squizzy in 2021 but feared retribution from them because \u201cthey are incredibly vindictive.\u201d While the duo kept their distance for a few weeks, they ended up crossing paths again later in the year, with Punk Duck adding \u201cthe more I reflected on my experience, the more terrified I was to have them this close to me\u201d. While Squizzy did apologize privately for the alleged assault, Punk Duck didn\u2019t buy it. \u201cI brought this up to Hyojin directly and they have apologized to me and reassured me that they are seeking help. While that is nice to hear, I have a hard time believing this because the apology came 24 hours after calling me childish\u2026 [and] let\u2019s be real, it feels like somebody else wrote it.\u201d It comes after Squizzy apologized for a number of other controversies earlier in 2022, including saying racist slurs on stream and drawing NSFW art of an underage YouTuber. Squizzy is yet to reply to these allegations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
