Valkyrae may have eventually welcomed in the New Year with fellow stream-star DisguisedToast, but 29-year-old reveals she had a \u201creally scary\u201d experience before that while catching an Uber to the OfflineTV house. Hofstetter told her YouTube fans she was leaving LilyPichu\u2019s house to meet up with Toast across town, and because she had been drinking, she ordered an Uber. She quickly regretted that choice, however, when she discovered the Uber driver was \u201cwild,\u201d told her not to wear a mask, and \u201cmade [her] feel unsafe\u201d throughout the entire thirty-minute trip. \u201cIt was really horrible,\u201d the 100 Thieves star said. \u201cI was already scared from being lost in the dark,\u201d Valkyrae continued, \u201cand then I get in this car and he\u2019s raving and not wearing a mask. I felt terrified by him.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/itsraechill\/status\/1477171805013958656 Valkyrae explained that she was in the car for thirty minutes, and the whole time she was worried that he might \u201ckidnap her\u201d or \u201ctake [me] to another country.\u201d \u201cIt was just\u2026 I felt so unsafe,\u201d she admitted. \u201cHe didn\u2019t wear a mask, and was literally just talking at me for the whole ride \u2014 we\u2019re in this car for like thirty minutes, driving \u2014 and he\u2019s telling me he\u2019s against vaccines, he doesn\u2019t like masks, and all that kind of stuff. I just didn\u2019t know what to say. So I kept agreeing \u2018cause I was scared he might do something. \u201cI ticked that option that said \u201cquiet preferred\u201d in the app, I had that on, and he was not preferably quiet, at all. Like thirty minutes straight I was so anxious, I didn\u2019t want to get on his bad side. He was acting wild. \u201cI hardly ride Ubers anymore, and I had to get this one. I had so much anxiety. It was scary! When he dropped me off I sprinted inside, so fast. So unsafe.\u201d Thankfully, nothing happened to Valkyrae, who was able to ring in the New Year with DisguisedToast in a hilarious Twitch stream that same evening. The star has spent the last few days away from streaming, and returned on January 2 with her first broadcast of the year. \u201cLook, I know the best solution,\u201d Valkyrae concluded. \u201cI have a car, I do have friends, so I won\u2019t be catching Ubers again soon. I don\u2019t want to, that\u2019s for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valkyrae opens up on scary encounter with \u201ccrazy\u201d Uber driver on New Year\u2019s Eve YouTube: ValkyraeWhile many were celebrating the arrival of 2022 with friends and family, star streamer Rachell \u2018Valkyrae\u2019 Hofstetter says she was dealing with a \u201ccrazy\u201d Uber driver who terrified her during a long drive to an OfflineTV party.
