Twitch VTuber Sinder has come under fire after artist Nanoless published allegations of manipulation, slander, and exploitative behavior involving Sinder and her manager, known as REDACTED. The controversy surfaced on April 26, 2025, when Nanoless shared a detailed 12-page document announcing the end of their professional relationship with Sinder.
In the document, Nanoless accused Sinder and REDACTED of speaking negatively about other content creators, spreading rumors to isolate collaborators, and attempting to impose an exclusivity agreement without offering additional compensation. Nanoless claimed the two pressured them to avoid working with blacklisted creators, using behind-the-scenes manipulation to influence their career decisions.
The situation escalated further when Twitch partner Vampeaches alleged that REDACTED is not only Sinder's manager but also her boyfriend. Shortly afterward, Sinder announced that REDACTED would no longer manage or represent her VTuber activities, confirming their personal relationship in a public apology released on April 28, 2025. In her statement, Sinder said she was unaware of the full extent of REDACTED’s actions and acknowledged lapses in her oversight. She emphasized that her relationship with Nanoless was intended to be positive but admitted that business pressures had distorted her judgment.

The fallout has extended beyond those directly involved. Fellow VTuber Shylily responded to Sinder’s apology by accusing her of continuing to manipulate and emotionally harm those closest to her.
The controversy has since sparked broader discussion within the VTuber community about professional boundaries, management ethics, and the impact of blending personal relationships with business roles.
