After Faith\u2019s accusations went live, esports analyst Rod \u2018Slasher\u2019 Breslau contacted the underage streamer, who wished to remain anonymous, claiming that she was made \u201cuncomfortable\u201d by the interaction.

I am not allowed to talk about anything, but I am not a pedophile.\u201d Cowboy has deleted his Twitter account and Discord server in light of the allegations. UPDATE: The president of TSM, Leena Xu, released a statement on the matter via Twitter on March 7, claiming that she reached out both the underage streamer and Faith in regards to the scandal. If he wants to defend himself publicly, that\u2019s not my battle since we are terminated. I\u2019m purely speaking about our contract resolution that fans seem to not believe is possible. \u2014 Leena Xu (@leena_xu) March 7, 2019 She then brought evidence of the messages to Cowboy\u2019s lawyer, later terminating his contract.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
