On August 16, 2023, YouTube Gaming star Rachell "Valkyrae" got together with fellow content creators Thomas "Sykkuno," Miyoung "Kkatamina," Leslie "Fuslie," and Jodi "QuarterJade" to play a variety of games. At one point during the broadcast, the streamer decided to check out something on Twitter when she noticed Darren "IShowSpeed" was trending on the platform.
For context, IShowSpeed went viral during his recent horror game broadcast when he accidentally flashed his privates in front of thousands of viewers. The situation prompted the 18-year-old personality to quickly remove the stream from his channel. However, numerous clips have been posted on social media.
While scrolling through Twitter, Valkyrae clicked on IShowSpeed's explicit video. Expressing her disbelieve, the 100 Thieves co-owner exclaimed:
"I'm on Twitter... I don't think you want to know. I went to Twitter to go thank Char Char for sending me that screenshot. And, I just see; I saw Speed was trending. So, I just checked and there is zero shot. I just saw the clip that I just saw. There is no chance that I just saw that! And, I want to gouge my eyes out!"
