On January 9, 2023, Twitch star Felix "xQc" dedicated the first half of his livestream to discussing the interaction he had with his ex-girlfriend Sammy "Adept" the day before.

In a livestream titled DEBUNKING EVERYTHING, Felix clarified that he was not married to Adept and addressed internet rumors. He also provided details about the off-camera discussions he had with his former partner.

The French-Candian also stated that he thought he was being swatted after hearing Adept's loud knocks. He explained:

"I know how it works when you get swatted. Okay? When I had my headphones on yesterday, okay? I genuinely thought that at the door was the police. Okay? I thought I was getting raided."

xQc talks about how the police knock when conducting a swat raid

xQc shared details about his interaction with Adept on January 8, 2023, at the 12-minute mark of his latest livestream. Before delving into the marriage rumors, the streamer discussed what he thought when he heard loud bangs at his door. He stated:

"I understand, okay, there's bunch of people speculating about, okay, about like, people hearing s**t and putting two and two together. Which is fair enough, to be honest."

xQc suggested that he "genuinely thought" that he was getting swatted, saying:

"I mean, I genuinely thought, okay, because in the past I have been raided or visited by the police a lot. Because of bulls**t swatters and s**t, okay?"

The former Overwatch pro continued the conversation by describing how police identify themselves when they swat:

"Because when the police knocks, they don't do, 'Knock-knock. Hello, guys.' They do, 'Bang, bang, bang, bang! Yo!' And they identify themselves. It's just how it works. And I genuinely thought, 'Holy s**t! It might be.' So, I didn't know at first. Okay?"

xQc mentioned that the knocks became more intense and explained why he didn't mute the livestream's audio:

"So at three it was the small knocking, and I was like, 'Okay, I'm going to go to the door.' And then, as I was walking, the knocking got louder and I genuinely thought that it was the police. Okay? At that point, I mean, I had to go to the door. I didn't want to mute the stream, because then I would have to delay to go to the door."
