During a Twitch livestream on March 3, 2025, popular streamers Cinna and Valkyrae broke down in tears as they recounted a terrifying experience from the previous night. Alongside fellow creator Emiru, the two were chased by an unidentified individual while IRL streaming on the sixth day of their "Sis-a-thon" Twitch marathon.
According to Emiru, who later shared her experience in a post on X (formerly Twitter), the situation escalated when the stranger became hostile after she refused to give him her phone number. He then began making threats against the group, forcing them to flee.
In an emotional Twitch stream, Cinna described the terrifying moment: "He kept running and trying to get something out of his pocket. When the clip cut off, we had to run into a store screaming that somebody was going to kill us so that someone would step in and help."
She added, "We were lucky that one of the workers didn’t question us and actually believed us. They took us all into the back."

As Valkyrae consoled her, Cinna revealed that they were so fearful they had to hide in a shed for 15 minutes before the police arrived.
Footage of the incident quickly went viral, sparking widespread outrage within the streaming community. Popular content creator Pokimane took to X to urge authorities to take action against the harasser.

Other streamers, including QTCinderella, emphasized the importance of professional security for female creators engaging in IRL broadcasts.
While the trio managed to escape unharmed, the frightening ordeal has reignited discussions about online safety and harassment in the streaming world. Fans and fellow streamers continue to call for better protections for content creators facing real-world threats.
