And here are the facts from my point of view
As many of you are now aware, or will soon be aware, @ValkyrieTTV has made some very harsh allegations about me that I would like to address. It is important to note that I've long wanted to discuss this situation with her (this happened some 3 years ago), but she has chose to block me (I never blocked her once). I don't believe in harassment, so I left the situation there. To this day I hold no ill will towards her and feel much of this situation is based on misunderstanding.
This will be a long post so please bear with me:
I will preface what I'm about to say by admitting what is true. Then I will defend myself against what is VERY defamatory and false. I am not here to deny the truths, however I will not stand idly by as misinformation and defamatory falsehoods are being spread about me.
1) Over the past few years on Twitch, I have been a big flirt. There's no denying that. I've never tried to hide it.
2) I have engaged in consensual adult private messages with a number of women. I'd like to stress that this was consensual. At no time, ever, did I force myself on anyone, or use my position in any way to blackmail or manipulate anyone into talking to me. That is barbaric behavior and that's not who I am as a person. If I ever had the feeling that my actions were NOT wanted or shared, I backed off. Every single time. I think that matters.
3) My wife was FULLY AWARE of these consensual adult messages. She has read them all. This is important to remember. I was never hiding this from her. She was well aware of everything I've said and done. She was also aware of the pictures that were being sent to me.
4) My support of Valkyrie was never based on anything but a mutual respect for gaming. I can understand how that may not look like it's the case, but that is the truth.
5) There's no mistaking that I'm an enourmous flirt. I make that very very clear on the stream. I have the utmost respect for women. I really do. But I have never used my hosting or raiding as a weapon to get what I want. Never. There was never any "targeting" of small streamers to take advantage of them.
6) The adventures and flirting with Valkyrie were short lived and that was ok. I had tried to make it clear that our conversations were all for fun and nothing else. I honestly NEVER felt like I was exploiting or controlling her in any way, since it was done in a consensual manner. I'll freely admit to having adult conversations with her (we did), but I am not to blame for abusive behavior. What's not being told here is that SHE is the one that started things down a more mature road. I received nude photos from her with the caption: "Let's take things to the next level" and clearly we did. I'm not denying that we had adult conversations. That did happen. Did I flirt with her before the photos? Sure. That said, I NEVER once threatened to withdraw support, raids or hosting. That's in an absolute falsehood. Did I stop hosting and raiding? Yes. However, I never ceased support because of an unwillingness on her part to have conversations with me. Valkyrie was pulling 500 viewers a night and I was happy to see that. I felt she no longer needed my hosting. It was never meant in anger and I should have better communicated that. Anyone that knows me will tell you that that is simply not how I operate and never have.
Final Thoughts:
There's been no cover up. I love my wife of 14 years and she knew that I enjoyed flirting with women on Twitch. The people I've chatted with and flirted with knew I was happily married and that our conversations were only meant for fun and nothing else. I don't blast these things across Twitter because I value privacy, mine and others. This was nothing but consensual behavior. All parties involved were aware of everything. It's up to each of you to decide which version you'd like to believe. I am here to admit my wrongs (such as they are), and clear things up so the facts can be understood
All this said, I hope you'll weigh what you've heard and come to a logical conclusion. I will let what I know is true about me act as my defense in this situation. Again, I am not here to deny the facts. I am in clear conscience knowing that of which I know to be true.
All that said:
If I have at any point made anyone feel anything other than good vibes, I apologize. I honestly do. That was never my intentions. I have been incredibly cavalier, flirty and careless, but all within the framework of two adults consenting to said behavior. I have flirted (or have tried to flirt) with many people over the past 3 years because I enjoyed it.
Thank you for reading this.
