Tw:R*pe In 2016 I was repeatedly r*ped by partnered Twitch streamer Phantomsfx.

---

My story pertains mainly to the relationship I had with Phantomsfx, a UK partnered streamer who I was in a relationship with throughout 2016. But it also involves his best friend HeyOrbz, JustJamieHDG and many other prominent streamers, industry professionals and discords in the UK throughout the course of the 5-6 years that they’ve preyed on vulnerable women in the industry.

**At the bottom of this post, I have compiled a list of evidence and allegations made by the women that have come forwards that wish to remain anonymous. In the last 48 hours more and more and more women are coming forwards, more and more information has been uncovered on these individuals. I cannot ignore it. I cannot sit on this.

Many do not wish to tell their stories as there will be too many details to identify the victims. This evidence includes multiple admissions of rape on Phantom’s part, evidence of sexual assault, allegations of predatory behaviour, manipulation of power and position within the industry, and using both gas lighting and harassment to discredit any and all claims made against them. I’d like to repeat that all of these women are fellow twitch streamers mostly based in the UK.

I’ve decided to tell my story after contacting over 15 women I know he’s had contact with.

What breaks my heart is all these women knew who I was speaking about before I even gave any details. These girls were the ones I thought wouldn't believe me because of how much he villanised them. He had one of them block me, he labelled one as a ‘another dumb e-girl’ and the other an ‘unstable psychopath’, yet we’ve all got the same story.

In a stream earlier this week, he called one of his friends’ accusers a ‘dumb bitch’ twice and completely dismissed the entire #metoo movement (evidence also below), as well labelling specific streamers as liars because they don't have ‘enough’ evidence and ‘if you’ve been raped why act like everything was fine after’. He has since deleted the vods though I still have clips downloaded, I suspect this is how we will go about defending himself, so he’s already starting to cover all bases. The streamer on team chat with him also hinted at being accused. This is his long term friend that has been involved in making dummy accounts to target and harass women on the website.

I met Phantom/Dan at Insomnia 57 in 2016, I was only a year or so into streaming and this was my first event. He was very well known in the UK streamer scene that was predominantly made up of the same 4/5 individuals that would circulate events as special guests. He and his friends were very well connected with twitch and other companies, as well as part of a big UK twitch network. They consistently bragged to me and other girls about their meaningless titles within the network and how they could ‘get us in’ with sponsorships. They used all of this to their advantage to manipulate, harass and abuse female UK twitch streamers over the last 5 years.

One member of the network told girls that if they didn’t sleep with him, they would stop being invited to booth sponsorships. This is also someone who had his girlfriend shower on skype while the entire network watched on teamview without her knowledge (I still don’t know if she has knowledge of this. I have no evidence, it was told to me by Phantom years ago but I know they are still friends). If she’s reading this and has any information on him I hope she feels comfortable enough to come forward.

As soon as I showed up at i57 I felt belittled and small, everyone referred to me as the girl ‘Orby’ had invited. Someone later told me when I walked through the pub garden doors, he was making eyebrows at the rest of the group and then at me, suggesting something was going to happen between us. I felt sick when I found out. I had maybe lightly flirted with this person online, but felt incredibly uncomfortable in person and like I was only there for his amusement.

When introduced to Phantom, he took a giant sniff of my hair and then laughed with his friends without even looking at me properly, something I found he does with a lot of women. I laughed along not understanding what just happened but didn’t think much of it. I was new to the group and very nervous about making a good first impression. I liked Phantom, he seemed funny and well liked. I had no reason to suspect he was dangerous. We had drinks and spent that night together at the casino, where I now know he would bring future victims, it became his hunting ground. That night Phantom and I had sex. It was consensual. I told him to not come inside me, he said he didn’t. Then a few days later he admitted he did but he didn’t seem to think there was anything wrong with this. His excuse was he pretended he didn’t so he could come again.

When I had arrived at the event, I realised I booked the wrong chain of hotel, Orbz insisted I get it changed so I could be with everyone else. He said he’d help pay for a room for me, then ended up asking for all of the money back at a later date. I later found out he stole the money from a fellow female streamer and made out it never happened. After buying a new watch, he spent the spare cash on my hotel, only to ask for it back (evidence for this is also below). Without saying a word he invited himself up with him. He lay down, sprawled his legs out on the bed while I sat awkwardly at the desk making small talk.

The next evening, after the pub quiz Orbz walked me to my hotel room as I’d been drinking, which I did not mind. He stood awkwardly between me and the door, putting his arm on the wall staring at me. I avoided his eye contact and got inside, locking the door. I thought it was strange he knew I liked his friend, yet was still trying to pursue me. I wondered if he tested the waters because he could or because he tried to get one up on Phantom.


Once back inside the hotel room, I texted Phantom because I wanted to see him again. A few hours or even minutes before coming up, he had been outside the hotel with another streamer asking her ‘what would you do if I touched you’, but she rebuffed him and has recently told me ‘I think he gave up’.

We spent the next few days together only in the hotel room. I remember him biting my bum really hard at one point so hard I cried out. Another time, he tried licking my face. Another time tried rolling me over, I rolled back and he said ‘what you got craters on your ass or something?’

About 2 weeks later we agreed to meet up in Bristol where he lived. Based on the other womens accounts, this is something he did with a few other streamers.On the phone he talked about what he had planned for us, and eventually the conversation turned sexual. He asked if I had ever tried anal. I said no, and despite only meeting him the one time, I felt like he could be trusted or at least sounded experienced enough to know what to do. I recently learnt from another victim that he had a strange preoccupation with taking her virginity and later dumping her when he had what he wanted. We went for dinner and drinks, and when we got back to the hotel, we started undressing and proceeded to have anal sex with no preparation. About 5 seconds in I said ‘stop, no’ and he said, ‘it hurts?’ I said ‘yes,’ he said ‘you’re just gonna have to grit your teeth’ and then said ‘just grin and bear it’. I remember freezing in that moment and my body completely shutting down. I stayed silent and bit my lip until he stopped. He then rolled me over and we proceeded to have regular sex. When he finished, I remember going to the bathroom walking with my back to the wall because I was scared I was bleeding and didn't want him to see. The first time I confronted him on the phone about this, he said ‘yeah but it’s like in porn when they’re all like no and they carry on’.

Another time, on the bathroom floor he pulled me up so fast I banged my head hard on the sink with a very audible sound of pain, but he carried on without saying a thing. This kind of frequent disregard for my personal safety continued for the time we were together.

He then invited me to a Battleborn event in Windsor that I was not invited to, but he insisted it would be fine because there were ‘other girlfriends there’, which was untrue. When we arrived, I was soon left on my own to make conversation with other streamers who had no idea who I was or why I was there. I felt utterly stupid and eventually had to leave while they all streamed the game, while I waited at the hotel room. When he came back he said ‘did you see Orby’s face when we walked in’. I’m assuming the entire idea of me turning up was to make him jealous. One pattern I’ve also noticed from the girls I've spoken to is his obsession with image and being admired by other people. How he always claimed that ‘everyone was looking at us when we walked into a room’ - I know he has done this with other girls.

Regarding HeyOrbz/Orbztv, they both had this very strange competitive nature when it came to women. Everytime I asked him about a girl he would say ‘Orby wanted her but I got there first.’ HeyOrbz has been mentioned A LOT in the stories coming out (again, listed below). Wherever Dan is, he seems to follow. Phantom always spoke poorly of him behind his back ‘he thinks he’s a model, he’s not even good looking’, and said he was a ‘known creep’ which is why he always got the girls, but then proceeded to live with him the next year anyway, which I never understood. The way that Phantom and Orbz essentially tried to ‘trade’ me and the unnamed girl on the night of the pub quiz makes me believe they have an incredibly toxic rivalry, where as long as one gets sex, the other loses. They repeated this pattern of behaviour over the years, at different events and with different streamers.

At the Windsor hotel we had what he called a ‘play fight’. It was me lying on the bed naked, and him whipping me on my inner thigh with a wet towel. I was in so much pain I creased up in shock not able to make a sound. He did it again and again laughing. He later apologized but said I was only so upset because of a previous partner not stopping when I said no.

I was also worried that I might be pregnant and voiced this to him. I remember him rubbing my tummy, talking to it in a baby voice talking about getting an abortion. I started crying at his twisted attempt at humour, but again, he said this was only a joke and to calm down. Another time he had squirted ketchup all over his arm and fell on the floor crying out in pain for much longer than the ‘prank’ needed to continue. I’m not sure if it was pure stupidity or a twisted way to get me to show how much I cared for him. Again, I was told it was only a joke and to ‘stop being silly’.

He told me how he wanted to make me ‘choke on him’ and have mascara running down my eyes ‘like in porn’. One night, when I gave him oral sex, he clamped my head down so far I panicked and had to slap his leg repeatedly before pushing him off me with all my force before swallowing down my own sick. He would also be annoyed if I didn’t swallow. I made up excuses such as it hurts my neck or the angle isn't right. At the event in Windsor, he snapped, ‘I can’t believe you’ when he finished, because he’d seen me in the mirror deliberately avoid doing it.

Other times he expressed wanting to hogtie me and create a safeword, at one point he made a joke that I'd be tied up and blindfolded and that a safeword wouldn’t help.

Sometime later into our relationship, I found out from a mutual friend he had somehow obtained nudes that were NOT public of another Twitch partner, put them in his discord and spent the evening with other partners and community members messaging her subscribers with ‘here are your sub perks’ and sending the photos to her sponsors anonymously, telling the other men to ‘fire up the twitter’. He had never even met the girl, had no reason to dislike her. I suspect he did this because she was a sex worker or a bigger more successful female streamer, hence targeting her sponsors. When I confronted him about this he completely shifted the blame onto everyone else that participated, sent angry DMs to the person that told me and claimed he’d been ‘thrown under the bus’ and that it was just a joke. A year later, he was pictured at the next insomnia smiling with the same woman. She had no idea.

After discovering this, and with everything else that I had experienced, I finished the relationship. This was met with an intense amount of messages, on all platforms, messaging my friends, making sub tweets about how his life is ruined.

After some space and collecting my thoughts, I accepted his apologies and forgave him for everything, putting it down to a ‘miscommunication’ in the bedroom and to the others encouraging him. This was another example of his manipulation. Before we got back together, I had began webcam modelling. This was something I did to take back control of my body. I told him he would have to get over me camming if he was going to be with me but also never go looking for my username. He agreed but claimed I wasn’t allowed ‘to talk to them’ (private message etc) or do ‘extreme things’. I agreed, but later broke this promise regarding messaging, as at this point I had very little respect for the relationship.

I paid for our entire Croatia trip in September. During the trip, I remember having sex immediately when we entered the hotel room to get it over with so he wouldn’t complain later on. The next few days I made excuses to not have sex with him, such as I’m tired or sore. One night at around 5am, he woke up and kept attempting to have sex with me while spooning me. I said no and moved away, but he persisted with trying to put it inside me. Eventually he succeeded and once again, my entire body froze. I didn’t make a noise. He raped me again. Eventually, he stopped and masturbated next to me, then fell asleep.

When we said goodbye at the airport, I remember thinking it would be the last time I’d see him.I knew I couldn’t break up there, to get rid of him he had to be away from me where he couldn't convince me to come back.


At some point he went looking for my webcam profile, and found me doing the things that I didn’t want to do with him. I suspect that's why he was so angry. It wasn’t about me or my mental health, it was him not having something he had asked for. He also saw me talking to the people on the site, which I said I wouldn’t do. This is completely irrelevant, and does not involve sexual abuse or justify what he did, but I feel he’s going to inevitably use it against me because, judging by his commentary over the years he seems to equate sex work with being a bad person. He also kept bringing up how much of a good person he was for ‘understanding’ why I was doing this terrible thing.

Knowing how much he depended on the relationship, his network of friends that would turn on me, his influence as a partnered streamer, the harassment from his community, his sway with sponsors, connections to twitch staff - these are all things he repeatedly bragged about, how he alluded to suicide a few times, terrified of him having access to my webcam profile, how he had reacted to me previously trying to leave him, I sat stuck for weeks unsure of what to do next.

It wasn’t until my birthday, when I was sent a VOD of his by a friend. For some reason he had decided to bring up the Facebook profiles of women that he had stayed with in Australia. He made comments about their bodies, and how you could ‘see her axe wound when she slept’, how ‘her fanny was falling out’ laughing the entire time. I was humiliated as we were now public.

This was the very final straw and I broke up with him. For days he tried to contact me on whatsapp, twitter, twitch whispers, message my friends, whatever he could get his hands on. He begged for forgiveness. He kept saying ‘really think about this’ ‘really think about what you’re doing here’. I couldn’t be sure but I read it as blackmail - again I knew how much influence he had. When I kept asking him to stop, eventually blocking him, he called me ‘fucking disgusting’.

Knowing the dangerous friends he had, (and still has), his connections at twitch, how he bragged about knowing the partnership team, spending time in their offices, how popular he seemed to be with bigger streamers, I stopped streaming completely for about 4 months. I barely posted on my socials. I never made a statement or hinted about breaking up, I did what I thought he wanted and disappeared. Throughout these months I had recurring nightmares that I still have today. Everyday I checked r/streamersgonewild to see if he had posted something of me. I knew I’d never be able to prove if it was him. It took a lot of time and a good support system to help me realise what exactly had happened and to even think of myself as a victim. I had excused so much of his behaviour that I now know he used on so many other women.

When I was finally ready to come back to streaming in December, I messaged him to gauge how angry he was with me. I had my friend teamview the discord call in case he changed his story or confessed to anything, which he did multiple times. He spoke non-stop for 15 minutes about how his twitch success was ‘booming’, how humiliated I left him, how embarrassed he felt having to explain to his community what had happened to his relationship. I bit my tongue, said ‘I know’ and apologised for everything I had done ‘wrong’. When the call was over I was sick in the toilet. We left it with what I thought was a civil parting.

On my first stream back, within hours I was flooded with spam accounts under names like ‘camgirlblinkx’ ‘cammieliz’ telling me to go back to the other website. I logged off and spent the rest of my New Years Eve in tears, panic and trying to get in contact with the police for advice. My worst fears had come true. When I confronted him the next day he immediately said it was someone from the site (despite me never showing my face or giving personal information). When I asked if it was a friend acting on his behalf, he didn’t reply and a few weeks later he blocked me.

Since then, I’ve had to request guest lists to make sure he’s not attending and decline huge opportunities. I never went to TwitchLDN until he was out of the country, I never went to another EGX or Insomnia again. I declined an event in L.A, because I was told by the organizer he would be there. I had a hotel, flight and ticket booked for Twitchcon 2018. I cancelled when I saw he was trying to find tickets. None of this is for attention if I hid away for 4 years.

For the first year back streaming, any success I had was met with a double edged sword, as I worried he would try and destroy my reputation with old camming content if I got too big for his liking, like the previous streamer he ‘exposed’. I remember not wanting to post my GFuel sponsorship in case he felt like I was stepping on his territory - that was something he was especially proud of.

When I started onlyfans last year I noticed my anxiety eased a lot, and I felt less ‘indebted’ to him. I had control over my content and there was nothing he could use to hurt me if he wanted.

Love is blind. You don't expect the person who tells you they love you to do this. You listen to their excuses, you give in because it's easier to be with someone that ‘loves’ you than to feel the hurt and betrayal of accepting what they did and who they are and having to move on.

One of the patterns I’ve noticed is he deliberately targets very damaged, very broken insecure girls and especially those who are smaller naive streamers. Initially, he made me feel like a princess, like he had ‘saved’ me from a bad past, and constantly compared himself to other men. When we met he almost immediately talked about his broken childhood, almost like he was trying to gauge how broken I was. It also seems like every woman that's ever interacted with him seems to know this story. If you’re not with him and speak out about him or pose a threat, he blocks you. Everyone else is a ‘liar’ and ‘crazy’.

Regarding abusers, I always say on stream there is the before and the after. This is who I refer to. I was a different person back then. I was naive, I didn’t want to believe it had happened to me. I didn’t have any bruises, I didn’t feel enough physical pain had happened to justify me being a victim with others that had suffered so much more. I remember thinking every girl in his midst probably hated me, and I would never be able to reach out to any of them.

I remember so many of these small details because of how much it scarred me. I remember specific clothing we were wearing. Being intimate in recent years I’ve had to make balls with my fists to ‘power through’ the initial anxiety. Having sex felt extremely clinical for a while after him.

I don’t expect an apology from him, and that’s not because I don’t want one, but because he thinks he has done nothing wrong. I have had hope over the years maybe he’s changed, that when he thinks of me he feels a sense of shame and regret over what he did. But he will still make the odd disgusting and degrading comment here and there about me. To this day he is ignoring the entire movement on his social media pages, then bitching about it on his stream where he knows he won’t be outed.

I have absolutely nothing to gain from this. This is the first time I have spoken publicly about webcam modelling, despite having an Onlyfans. This is all information I did not want to make public. Those who know me know that I’m never involved with drama. I’m pretty reserved when it comes to talking about sex. I am mortified to talk publicly about these extremely personal details, but they need to be said.

In his stream recently, he and his community kept spouting about how ‘influence has power’. The women in these screenshots are anonymous, and therefore have no influence. They have no affiliation with me, no loyalty, some of us have only spoken for the first time this week. Their first response to my incredibly vague message was immediately ‘I know who you’re talking about’, or ‘you go first’. We can’t all be lying.

I can’t suffer in silence anymore. I hope it will bring me and the other women some amount of closure. Before this week, most of us had never spoken to one another because of the stories he fed us. If you’re thinking of coming forwards, talk to the same people that attended the same events. Get hold of names and reach out, so many people are here to help.

I hope the person he’s now married to is safe. But I also hope she will see this and understand she’s been lied to about these other women. I’m not the only one, there will be more that come forwards. She hasn’t met his real friendship group, his real family, knows nothing about his life before her, or his appalling reputation in the community. She was picked up at yet another insomnia event, just like the rest, except this time he followed her to America, proposed and married her all within 3 months.

For 4 years I felt alienated, hiding in fear of this ‘popular’, charismatic person, only to find out he’s known for assault in so many circles and that there were others the entire time. It breaks my heart to know so many suffered in silence.

This man took over my life for the past 4 years while he got on with his. I’m sick of seeing his face. I’m sick of accepting this as a reality.

This person still streams. He is still active in the community. He is on the front page on a regular basis and has received NO repercussions for any of his actions towards me or other streamers.


Thank you to every single person who has spoken publicly about this. You’ve given me more bravery than I thought was ever possible.

In the last 24 hours more girls have given me new information on Phantomsfx and the rest of the group, so I’ve updated this list extensively. I’m not sure what to do with this information, but again, I can’t sit on this information and do nothing. I’ve compiled everything here. If anyone can confirm any of this, My DMs are open. I’ve compiled as many photos with as much evidence and allegations as I can:

Evidence of Phantomsfx admitting to raping me on 2 seperate occasions. He claims that apparently ‘millions of couples’ go through rape, and in the other tells me you just dont think about consent in the heat of the moment. And ‘don’t even start that’ when I asked him what consent is.

Phantomsfx repeatedly gaslighting, making me the guilty party for blocking/not wanting to speak to him when we broke up, telling me a lot of things were my fault because ‘I was messed up and not normal’ but regardless he still loved me for it. He also defends talking about a womans ‘fanny hanging out’ on his stream.They’re on twitch whispers because that’s the only place I hadn’t blocked him yet. Calls me ‘fucking disgusting’ when I finally unfriend him. Notice the sudden shift in tone and personality when he realises he's not getting what he wants.

Phantomsfx continuing to publicly bad mouth me to others, not telling them about any of the assault or rape, and telling other girls to block me/ignore me. I’ve found girls that confirmed my story that had me blocked. This is probably why.

Evidence of Phantomsfx slandering the same girl, calling her a ‘dumb bitch’. He says ‘they hooked up’. He does not disclose at any point that he went to her to take her virginity, that she had confided huge insecurities and felt incredibly vulnerable and was much younger than him. He paints her as a ‘clingy psycho’ and a ‘dumb bitch’

The only thing HeyOrbz mentions about the sexual assault claims going around is that he had a false allegation made, and says the person was lying. Above you can see she was clearly manipulated and gaslit by the men into admitting something that wasn’t true.They bullied the ‘confession’ out of her by bringing her into discord.

The above accounts are all from women who are streamers on Twitch, most of them are in the UK and the dates range from 2015 to this year. I hope upon reading this if you have more evidence on these individuals or the UK streaming scene, you will use your voice to come forwards, even if its anonymous, please reach out.
