During a recent livestream, Twitch star Tyler1 addressed the past comments that his partner, Macaiyla, made about transgender athletes on X. For context, during the 2024 Paris Olympics, Macaiyla faced backlash for a statement she made shortly after Algerian boxer Imane Khelif secured a win against Italy's Angela Carini in a women's welterweight bout.
After receiving a lot of criticism for her remark, Macaiyla apologized to the LGBTQ+ community for the now-deleted posts. She also clarified that Tyler1 did not share her controversial views.
This is why when Tyler1 brought up the topic during the livestream and Macaiyla insinuated that she didn't care about her previous comments, the League of Legends content creator freaked out and said:
"Oh my god, oh my god! She is going to start getting me canceled again."
"Pull up ChatGPT again": Tyler1 jokes about Macaiyla's controversial take on 2023 Olympics controversy during Twitch stream
For context, there was a big controversy surrounding the women's boxing category during the 2024 Paris Olympics after misinformation about Imane Khelif went viral on social media. The Olympic ethics committee had to release a statement to dispel rumors suggesting that Khelif was a transgender athlete.
Tyler1's partner Macaiyla, with whom he shares a daughter, had made several comments on X suggesting that Khelif should not compete in the women's boxing category. This led to widespread backlash, especially following a viral post that implied both she and Tyler1 held negative views toward transgender individuals.
During his latest livestream, Tyler1 was talking to Macaiyla off-camera when he brought up her controversial X posts. He said:
"What about your dumba** on Twitter? Don't start, oh my god!"
After Macaiyla said she didn't "give a f**k", the streamer got frustrated and began talking about getting canceled. He even made fun of his partner's apology at the time of the controversy:
"Oh god! Pull up ChatGPT again! Oh god, I am kidding, I am kidding!"
Readers should note that Tyler1 had released a statement about the controversy, saying he was dragged into the situation without his consent. He also reiterated his support for the LGBTQ+ community in a livestream on August 3, 2024.
