Well-known League of Legends Twitch streamer Jakob "CookieLoL" is facing a multitude of serious allegations. On April 12, a 90-page Google document was posted by Twitter user RiviBoca, detailing the streamer's various unethical actions. The catalyst for this doc being released was a post made on Cookie's Discord server by one of his Twitch moderators, where the creator was accused of scamming companies that he was partnering with, as well as being late on several payments.
However, the rabbit hole went even deeper, as the streamer was found to have been sexually harassing several women and minors on Discord. He responded to the allegations on April 13 in a TwitLonger post that was widely criticized for coming across as insincere. He later apologized again, promising to address the allegations on his Twitch stream. Here's what he said:
"I am ashamed of myself and I'm deeply sorry to all those that have been affected by my behavior over the last years."

CookieLoL in hot water
Cookie is a Swedish Twitch streamer known for his League of Legends gameplay. He is a high elo player on the game's European West (EUW) server. The individual has achieved the rank of Challenger on EUW during each of the past six years and previously even tried to break into the professional scene before directing his efforts to content creation. He is known for creating educational content, primarily focusing on the AD carry role.
The Google document that was made public on April 12 contains a multitude of screenshots of CookieLoL's direct messages on Discord, which include him flirting with users after they stated that they were underage. He also allegedly made inappropriate comments to other women, as well as in the general chat of his own Discord server, which is open to minors as well. The creator has also been permanently banned from that platform's other servers for comments he made to underage girls.
CookieLoL put out his apology on TwitLonger hours after the Google doc was made public. Here's an excerpt from it.
"Growing up in Sweden, I never thought that a 3 year gap at that age was very weird, and the legal age of consent is 15. At the time I had just turned 20, and she was about to turn 17, and I did not think there was anything wrong with sexually flirting with her."
Since the backlash, CookieLoL has decided to apologize again and has promised to address the allegations on his Twitch stream.
