Founded in 2017 by William "Scarra", Imane "Pokimane", and Chris Chan, OfflineTV is a collective of creators on Twitch and YouTube who live together in a content house based in Los Angeles, California. Soon after its creation, OTV signed LilyPichu, Disguised Toast, PokeLawls, BasedYoona, and Fedmyster as its first batch of creators.

The online social entertainment group is widely recognized for its content, which includes prank videos, vlogs, and friendly competitions featuring the OTV members. It has grown to include the likes of Yvonnie, Michael Reeves, Sydeon, Masayoshi, and QuarterJade.

As one might assume, with a star-studded lineup, OTV has never been far from controversy. Outspoken members, s*xual assault allegations, a cheating scandal, and even claims of lack of diversity have put the group in a tough spot time and again.

Pokimane and 4 other controversial figures associated with OfflineTV

1) Fedmyster

It's only fitting to start this list with a controversy involving one of the founding members of OfflineTV, Federico "Fedmyster". In 2020, Fedmyster had s*xual assault allegations leveled against him by several women, including fellow OTV members LilyPichu and Yvonnie. They alleged that he had made s*xually charged comments and even touched women without their consent.

The ensuing drama saw OTV seemingly implode at the seams as the house was criticized for the way it handled the situation after an anonymous source leaked a 25-page document alleging that Pokimane had been manipulating the narrative and was still friends with Fedmyster.

Ultimately, he was let go by OTV on June 28, 2020, which was announced in an official tweet.


2) Sleightlymusical

Albert "Sleightlymusical" was at the top of his game between 2017 and 2018. His unique stream featured instrumental music covers, magic tricks, IRL streams, and gameplay commentaries of him playing League of Legends. Chang, a lifelong LoL fan, even performed at the 2017 League of Legends World Championship finals opening ceremony.

However, all of this was short-lived following his admission of infidelity. Chang had been in a relationship with fellow OfflineTV member Lily "LilyPichu" when he began cheating on her with another streamer, Sarah "avocadopeeled". This caused a stir within the community and the OTV house. Eventually, Chang announced he would take a hiatus from content creation via a Twitlonger on November 17, 2019.


3) Chris Chan

Probably the least famous founding member of OfflineTV, Christopher "Chris" Chan used to be Scarra's manager before he became the manager-cum-executive producer of OTV. He briefly lived in the OTV house in 2019 before being kicked out on multiple accounts of disruptive behavior and not respecting house rules. He was accused of s*xual abuse, assault, and incest, even by LilyPichu.

The incident happened during a business trip to Taiwan wherein Chan assaulted Lily, which she confirmed via a now-deleted tweet. This alarmed several popular content creators like xQc, who wondered what was happening in the OTV house as this news broke months after Lily and Albert's breakup.


4) DisguisedToast

One of the most controversial figures from the OfflineTV roster, Jeremy "DisguisedToast" Wang made headlines in May 2021 after many accused him of allegedly advocating r*pe and being a pedophile.

All of this stems from Toast's self-described problematic past, where he would make a lot of "edgy jokes" as explained via his Twitlonger. After being a prominent figure on the internet for well over eight years, Toast is no stranger to making his opinions and views heard. His blunt nature is why he often finds himself at the center of controversy, even if the initial drama did not involve him.


5) Pokimane

No other person from OfflineTV has courted controversy more often than Twitch queen, Imane "Pokimane." Apart from being accused of saying the n-word on stream multiple times, she has been involved in many internet beefs thanks to her tenacity for expressing her opinions. The Moroccan-Canadian streamer has often butted heads with other popular content creators like xQc and Trainwreckstv.
