Valkyrae reveals true feelings on RFLCT drama in leaked Discord messages YouTube: Valkyrae \/ RFLCT CollectionRachell \u2018Valkyrae\u2019 Hofstetter\u2019s true feelings on her ongoing RFLCT controversy have been revealed via a series of Discord leaks between the under-fire 100 Thieves co-owner and Twitch star Ludwig from October 27. Just over a week ago, Valkyrae released a skincare line she had rubber-stamped as co-owner: \u201cRFLCT,\u201d designed to protect gamers from blue light glare. The 100 Thieves star came under scrutiny for the new product almost immediately, with many dubbing it \u201csnake oil\u201d and accusing her of deliberately scamming her young audience. The problem many had was peer-reviewed studies have suggested blue light is inconsequential to skin health. In the ensuing RFLCT backlash, which still has yet to truly die down, Valkyrae claimed \u2014 in a careful Oct. 23 stream \u2014 she\u2019d \u201cseen the research,\u201d but has been considering reducing her involvement slightly. Leaked messages between Valkyrae and Ludwig tell a different story though; one that suggests she\u2019s trying everything in her power to abandon the $4m RFLCT ship. The leaked Valkyrae-Ludwig DMs, accidentally revealed by Atrioc while using Ludwig\u2019s PC, reveals a conversation between the two streamers about Hofstetter\u2019s RFLCT controversy. In the Discord messages, sent on October 27, Valkyrae admitted she \u201creally messed up trusting [the people involved in RFLCT\u2019s launch], and has been talking to her lawyers about breaking her contract entirely. \u201cThey [ULTA] just don\u2019t understand how this RUINS my brand,\u201d the 29-year-old wrote in several leaked Discord messages to Ludwig. \u201cI really needed [all the RFLCT research] to be public. ULTA invested $4 million so it\u2019s like, why wouldn\u2019t they make it legit? Why would a company invest in something like this if they didn\u2019t believe the research? Valkyrae also admitted she made a mistake not doing her own digging: \u201cI\u2019m so dumb. I should have asked more questions, I just thought [the info] would be there.\u201d The only option left, Valkyrae continued in the leaked messages, was to \u201cembrace the scammer life, get out of the contract, and admit I\u2019m an idiot.\u201d Luckily for the 100 Thieves co-owner, who most definitely remains a figurehead at the booming esports organization despite rumors she\u2019d been dropped for the controversy, there are options for her, though most are legal avenues. The biggest one, Valkyrae explains, is because she forgot to sign a document. \u201c[ULTA] hate me for leaving the contract, but it\u2019s looking possible, so I\u2019m hopeful,\u201d she revealed. \u201cApparently, I didn\u2019t sign one of the contracts, so I have leverage.\u201d Right now though, Valkyrae has just found herself bogged down in legal red tape, as marketing gurus from ULTA look to spin yet another statement for her to put out so both parties can save face in any potential divorce. For now, the 100 Thieves star is stuck going \u201cback and forth with PR people and lawyers\u201d trying to form a statement. According to the YouTuber, RFLCT is \u201ctrying to get [her] to say the dumbest shit,\u201d including more support for the anti-blue light skincare product, and well-wishes for the ULTA team. Earlier this week, Valkyrae shot down \u2018cash grab\u2019 claims: \u201cI don\u2019t need money\u2026 this wasn\u2019t about money. I was excited to be part of something revolutionary.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
