On September 20, the streaming community witnessed a massive controversy after Mizkif and fellow Twitch content creator Tyler "Trainwreckstv" engaged in a heated argument on Twitter.
During their clash, Trainwreckstv hit back at Matthew and claimed that the latter covered up some s*xual assault cases involving CrazySlick.
Following this, Twitch streamer AdrianahLee hosted a two-hour livestream and provided insight into CrazySlick's antics. She stated that Slick touched her inappropriately by placing his hands on her chest repeatedly while claiming that he was "checking her pulse."
During the same stream, AdrianahLee replayed an old YouTube clip in which Mizkif seemingly admitted CrazySlick's s*xual harassment and tried to downplay it. Here's an excerpt from Matthew's year-old clip:

When Ice Poseidon saw that Mizkif was embroiled in a controversial situation, he grabbed the opportunity to post a series of screenshots of their DMs.
