She has taken up a podcast and commentary role, as well as restarted her personal stream. MsDirtyBird was widely condemned after claiming she had brain and lung cancer in streams dating back to January 2021. Once she admitted to misleading her viewers, she was dropped from her organization, N7 Esports, and issued two apologies after her first one was deemed \u201cscripted\u201d by the community. She claimed she\u2019d be taking a break from streaming lasting between \u201csix months to a year.\u201d However, she returned to the platform in just three weeks to help out on a Rocket League broadcast. \u201cI have opened up my account again, and I want to apologize for lying to the Rocket League community and hurting you guys,\u201d she said on Twitter on her return. \u201cI lied about having cancer but it wasn\u2019t recently. I had lied about it back in January. \u201cI can\u2019t say that I remember when I told the lie about me having cancer, but I can say that I didn\u2019t realize that it was a lie that I couldn\u2019t get out of.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/MsDirtyBird91\/status\/1438922444388147209 The organizer, Slips, has faced widespread criticism for giving MsDirtyBird a platform. Many viewers vowed to \u201cskip\u201d the broadcast because of the streamer\u2019s presence. MsDirtyBird said she was \u201cgrateful\u201d for the platform giving her a second chance. https:\/\/twitter.com\/MsDirtyBird91\/status\/1438908185088335875 She has also restarted her personal stream, going live on Twitch on September 16 in front of 20 average viewers.
