Kaw, known as MsDirtyBird to her followers, is a Rocket League streamer. The content creator has now offered a formal apology, for a second time. Over the last few months, followers have been tracking her developments. The claims were first acknowledged on a livestream with her sister. Allegations against MsDirtyBird Earlier this year, Kaw\u2019s sister took to Twitch after receiving information of MsDirtyBird\u2019s claims. \u201cI wanted to address my sister\u2019s stream today\u2026her having cancer, I don\u2019t think \u2013 she hasn\u2019t said anything to any of us.\u201d Expressing hurt over the comments, Kaw said \u201cit hurts me that she has said this.\u201d In the stream, she also mentions how \u201ceveryone in her chat still she thinks she has cancer.\u201d The first mention of Kaw\u2019s alleged diagnosis was in January, claiming to have brain cancer. Since then, more information has come to light, prompting the streamer to speak directly about the allegations. https:\/\/twitter.com\/MaximusAemulus\/status\/1432049531877826563?s=20 In her initial apology, her speech was debunked to be an online template. After the backlash this attempt received, MsDirtyBird has since released an uncut, unedited apology video: \u201cThis is my official apology video, no cuts, no scripts, nothing\u201d. https:\/\/twitter.com\/MsDirtyBird91\/status\/1432436208894820352 \u201cWhat I did was undeniably f**ked up and should have never happened,\u201d Kaw said. The streamer has decided to take a break from streaming, which could last between \u201csix months to a year.\u201d Following her second apology, there are calls for Kaw to use her Twitch revenue for charity purposes, in aid of cancer research. I suggest taking all the profit you\u2019ve gotten from your streams these last few days, and donate it to cancer research. Do charity work for those affected by cancer. Actions speak louder than words. https:\/\/t.co\/I5FNTv60jy \u2014 catjeans (@catjeans) August 30, 2021 The now-former streamer has made no other comments since releasing her video apology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twitch streamer apologizes after admitting she faked cancer diagnosis TwitchTwitch streamer MsDirtyBird has issued an apology, after falsely claiming she had cancer to her viewers.
