Popular streamer Felix "xQc" has recently caused a stir on social media after claiming that his former partner and Twitch streamer Adept had apparently threatened to start an OnlyFans account if he refused to give her money. The couple went through a public breakup last year, which ultimately led to them getting embroiled in a legal battle. While most details of the case are not public, with the trials over, Felix has been revealing bits and pieces of information on his Twitch and Kick livestreams.
While opening a number of cases looking for a rare knife in CS2, xQc told his audience that Adept had allegedly tried to force him to give her money with the threat of starting an OnlyFans account:
"At one point, there was literally an ongoing, recurring threat of 'Pay me money, or I do OnlyFans' type of sh*t. It is what it is."
The clip was shared by viewers on a range of social media platforms, with the streamer-focused subreddit r/LivestreamFail going gaga over it.
