Twitch streamer threatened with \u201cromance fraud\u201d lawsuit from viewer Ms Kenner\/TwitchTwitch streamer \u2018Ms Kenner\u2019 says a wealthy donor has allegedly compromised her income, threatened to dox her, and even suggested legal action all because she wouldn\u2019t reciprocate their feelings of affection. Donations from viewers are a large part of how smaller Twitch streamers make their money. However, Destiny 2 streamer \u2018Ms Kenner\u2019 has shared her experiences with a generous donor who she claims has been affecting her income after she didn\u2019t feel the same way they felt about her. \u201cEvery streamer should be aware of situations like this\u201d On April 16, Ms Kenner posted a twitlonger detailing her experiences with a certain viewer, who\u2019s a \u201cpublic figure in the music industry.\u201d \u201cHe was always an insane gifter and donator\u2026.\u201d she explained. \u201cWell, now I see he is just literally insane.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/ms_kenner\/status\/1515484977261125636?s=20&t=p7HMZRrox7BfMB06YJMJxQ After allegedly receiving \u201ctons\u201d of donations from this individual across a variety of platforms, the viewer eventually revealed they were romantically interested in the streamer. Kenner, who has a husband and children, obviously didn\u2019t feel the same way. This led the viewer to reportedly dispute all his PayPal transactions and Twitch donations. \u201cThat pushed me THOUSANDS into the negative,\u201d Kenner said. \u201cI have been fighting with them and today I received word that his bank decided in his favor. Now I have to pay all that back.\u201d Not only that \u2013 the viewer purportedly threatened her with a $5,000 lawsuit for \u201cromance fraud,\u201d and allegedly threatened to dox her and her family, as well. Despite all the threats, Kenner said she was willing to fight for her income in court with her own lawyer, and on April 18 tweeted she had \u201cmade progress\u201d on the chargebacks. I have made some progress with this. The whole playout is really not something that I\u2019m going to hash on socials. Just wanted everyone to know that stuff like this is very real and protect yourselves. I will move forward with this privately now. Thank you for your concerns \ud83d\ude4f \u2014 Ms Kenner (@ms_kenner) April 18, 2022 \u201cI have made some progress with this.
