During a recent livestream, Twitch streamer Caitibugzz discussed an incident that occurred in the summer of 2023. She alleged that she was assaulted by a "significantly older and popular content creator," saying:

"Last year, at the beginning of summer, I was assaulted by a significantly older and popular content creator. I was freshly 18 and had just graduated high school a few weeks prior..."

Caitibugzz then recalled commenting on a "certain group" in October, who allegedly "abused power over minors in the DMs." She elaborated:

"I remember a moment around October, where I made comment about a certain group abusing power over minors in the DMs, saying they had minors in their DMs. It was an absent-minded comment and I apologize for it, of course. It was a possible subconscious jab out of my own personal resentment. My comments filled with people saying that I didn't care about grooming victims."

Caitibugzz burst into tears and added:

"I remember sitting there, reading the comments, scrolling over and over again, heart beating faster. Over half of the comments had him as their profile picture. I just wanted to die. I was embarrassed of myself and I was angry."
