According to reports, Novell was investigating allegations of murder linked to Itzler when the alleged assault took place. 

This altercation has further damaged Itzler's already controversial reputation, especially following his recent suspension from Kick. His channel was temporarily removed on 24 June 2024 after he attempted to forcibly kiss a woman during a livestream.

Itzler, who promotes himself as the "world's greatest livestreamer," is well-known for his IRL content and frequent appearances on popular media platforms like The Howard Stern Show.
