Astralis CSGO player Spike denies sexual assault allegations by former teammate Twitter: spikeakaselAstralis CSGO\u2019s Selin \u2018Spike\u2019 Sinem Alak has denied the sexual assault allegations from her from former teammate Kaia \u2018KiKi\u2019 Holmen. On October 8, KiKi published a TwitLonger in which she detailed the alleged assault by her teammate, but Sinem Alak\u2019s has disputed those claims and provided her own account of the situation and the days surrounding it. Spike also suggested that this matter had been settled between the two of them for some time, and that she believes that these allegations have only now been made public \u201cout of spite\u201d for KiKi being removed from the team. Astralis Spike responds to sexual assault allegations from former teammate Spike released her own TwitLonger on October 11 in which she goes in-depth about her perspective of the situation. Among many differences, she noted that this incident wasn\u2019t the result of KiKi \u2018taking one for the team\u2019 as she initially stated, but was instead the product of an already-bubbling interest between the two players. \u201cOne of the rooms had an own bathroom with a cute vanity table. With no hesitation, KiKi insisted on having the big room and OFFERED me to stay with her in front of Kezzi. She didn\u2019t take one for the team nor was she forced to offer me to stay with her,\u201d the accused pro claimed. In her statement, Spike also contested the claim that KiKi yelled or screamed for her to stop, suggesting that all acts were consensual and that when her teammate rejected her attempt to go any further she didn\u2019t press the issue. She acknowledged that when the rejection came she asked why the other woman had changed her mind, but that after she realized KiKi was clearly uncomfortable with anything else, she dropped the topic entirely. \u201cFirst of all, I asked for consent both times when I initiated the \u201cmaking out\u201d and both times she said yes. I understand that she didn\u2019t want to go all the way and I didn\u2019t do anything physically against her will,\u201d she wrote. \u201cShe never shouted or kept saying no. Nobody in the house, including the staff, heard any screaming or yelling because it simply did not happen.\u201d Spike\u2019s statement also detailed that she believed that her and KiKi were on good terms up to the point that the latter player was dropped from the team. \u201cI understand that facing the fact that you weren\u2019t the right fit for the team anymore is hard to accept. Then a couple months later, and immediately after we signed with a new organization, she started telling our mutual friends that I had sexually assaulted her and that she wanted to speak up about it.\u201d Astralis has yet to comment on the situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
