What are the allegations against Kai Cenat's cameraman ChrisV?
ChrisV, Kai Cenat's long-time cameraman, is currently facing a lot of flak after screenshots of his alleged text exchanges with a minor were leaked online. The messages have been circulating on X.com since last night (July 30).
The texts are mostly on Instagram; however, a couple of screenshots also depict iMessage. The initial few screenshots depict an unnamed girl allegedly revealing her age to Chris. The conversation at this point is only "small talk." Here are some of the messages:
"(From the girl) I'm actually 17. My friends told me to say I'm 19 but you know, I gotta let you know the truth."
However, another screenshot (apparently from iMessage) allegedly shows ChrisV's messages becoming extremely inappropriate and explicit (the screenshots also include media files, assumed to be explicit as well). One of the messages read:
"I could just imagine rubbing my d**k on your p***y...I'll put my whole d**k down your throat."
It's worth noting that the alleged victim had recently reached out to Kai Cenat (possibly over X.com) where she spoke about the situation involving his cameraman. She claimed to have not received any response from him yet. Here's her message to the Twitch streamer:
"I do want to let you know that Chris (your cameraman) is definitely a pedo (pedophile) too."
"I'm not associating myself with him" - Kai Cenat to distance himself from ChrisV
Since the screenshots surfaced online, Kai Cenat hosted a broadcast on Twitch where he addressed the issue. During the stream, he reprimanded his cameraman for allegedly engaging with someone who was not of age:
"She ended up saying her age, said she was 17. Right at that moment, you're supposed to stop texting. Right at that moment, you're supposed to drop all conversations. Anything that's below the age of consent, you're not supposed to talk to them!"
He added that they will no longer be working together:
"I'm not associating myself with him. He's not associated with me. I'm not associated with him."
Kai Cenat has also reached out to the alleged victim, who is now 19. He revealed that she had chosen to stay anonymous:
"I reached out to the person and s**t like that, and I made sure to get her s**t. She wants to be anonymous and s**t like that. So, I'm going to figure this s**t out. I will figure all of this s**t out."
At the time of writing, ChrisV hasn't shared his side of the story. His last post on X.com was on May 18. Further details regarding the controversy should be updated in due course.
