Summit1G apologizes for girlfriend\u2019s statement on Anita\u2019s Tourette\u2019s After criticizing Sweet Anita and firing shots at Twitch directly, Jaryd \u2018Summit1g\u2019 Lazar and his partner \u2018LilChipmunk\u2019 have publicly apologized for their reactions. Sweet Anita is no stranger to the spotlight on Twitch as the streamer has opted to embrace her Tourette syndrome and face all of the public controversy that may come her way. A recent broadcast went viral after an uncontrolled outburst left Anita the target of much criticism. Fellow Twitch streamer LilChipmunk was one of the first to publicly lambaste Anita in a series of now-deleted Tweets. Following the controversy, however, both LilChipmunk and her partner Summit1g have come forward to express their regret, and apologize for their backlash. In a since-deleted Tweet, Twitch partner LilChipmunk responded to a recent outburst from Anita that gained traction on social media, arguing that she \u201cshould have some way to mute herself.\u201d \u201cHow\u2019s this allowed? I don\u2019t care if she has Tourettes,\u201d she expressed, directly calling out Twitch in the process for \u201cpromoting\u201d her uncontrollable condition. Serving as the catalyst for a detailed explanation by Anita in her most recent broadcast, the streamer outlined the difficulties of publicly embracing the syndrome and facing backlash from other popular personalities. \u201cPeople just don\u2019t understand and sometimes that can be hard,\u201d she described. \u201cBut rather than fixate on the negatives and fixate on the people being abusive, I\u2019d rather use it as an experience that I build something positive from.\u201d Backtracking from her initial reaction, LilChipmunk came forward on December 11 and issued a public apology to Anita and expressed resentment for the way in which she reacted. \u201cI wasn\u2019t in the right state of mind. I was emotional and didn\u2019t think it through,\u201d the streamer asserted. \u201cSorry to anyone I offended.\u201d \u201cYou are right Twitter. I\u2019m sorry [Anita]. I shouldn\u2019t have said the things I said last night, I didn\u2019t mean it. Being in the wrong or right state of mind is no excuse.\u201d I\u2019m apologizing for last nights actions\u2026 I wasn\u2019t in the right state of mind I was emotional and didn\u2019t think it through. Sorry to anyone I offended. \u2014 lilchipmunk \u2601\ufe0f (@itslilchipmunk) December 10, 2019 You are right Twitter. I\u2019m sorry @Tweet4nita. I shouldn\u2019t have said the things I said last night, I didn\u2019t mean it. Being in the wrong or right state of mind is no excuse. \u2014 lilchipmunk \u2601\ufe0f (@itslilchipmunk) December 10, 2019 Echoing the sentiment of his partner, Summit1G further elaborated on-stream and was quick to double down on the apology for the way LilChipmunk initially reacted. \u201cI just wanted to give an apology to Sweet Anita,\u201d he sais. \u201cI hope you\u2019re doing okay through all the bullsh*t. You\u2019re killing it on Twitch, keep it up and keep trucking through.\u201d \u201cI apologize if me or the girlfriend have caused any more bullshit than you needed to go through. For Caroline, she knows she f***ed up, and this is just gonna have to be something she grows from and learns from and I promise you that will happen. \u201cShe\u2019s gonna learn from this and this is going to be a humbling experience for her. She overstepped and said stuff without thinking.\u201d Clearly aiming to build from the regretful controversy, both LilChipmunk and Summit1G were regretful, apologetic, and appeared to be much more understanding of Anita\u2019s circumstance having taken in the full context of the situation. Certainly not the first time that Anita\u2019s uncontrollable tics have been the focal point of the Twitch community, it wasn\u2019t long ago that the streamer overcame one of her most frequent triggers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
