I never thought this would happen to me.
I'm going to get straight to the point. (deep breath)
On Saturday Eva had received a message from someone who's name I won't share out of respect and privacy who was part of Radically Kind Gamers.

Z- knowing that Eva has already been a victim of domestic violence decided to tell people that I was actively abusing her within the last three months in order to blackball me from collaborating with other creators. I have no idea if this was an isolated case or this was repeated to more than one person, never mind individuals or companies that may have wanted to work with me. I have helped Z- in every aspect of streaming and this is the thanks we get? Eva has been building her up for almost a year for her to find out that all of this has been happening behind closed doors without her knowledge until people, particularly her mentees started to approach her privately. Ex mods of Z- approaching her privately. All while she took a break from the space for the last two months. Now I have creators who are mutuals coming forward privately. This has been happening to ALL of us. Why?
Z- has gone too far with these accusations. I was told from mutual content creator/friends that she thought that my content was trash and I would never make it in this industry because I wasn't loud enough. Yet would come to me or Eva asking for advice because we were "doing so well". Though every time she needed help with audio and quality for her stream I came running, even if mid stream and live to make time for her.
She was blacklisting me from opportunities this way around the same time I started to get opportunities “without her” is what I'm told. Which makes perfect sense because around that time she stopped interacting. Yet although we constantly scream from the rooftops to please interact with our sponsored and brand posts due to the already almost nearly impossible visibility we as BIPOC creators deal with, the interaction was not reciprocated. It was brought to my attention that when myself and other amazing BIPOC creators made it in a top streamers to watch article, she complained about the article on stream (per mods and others in chat when Eva nor I were around) about the articles we were in over her because mine amongst the other creators listed content was trash in her eyes. She then proceeded to go on a tangent live that she didn’t understand why SHE wasn’t being written about and other black creators were. Instead of uplifting and congratulating us when we finally got a sliver of a spotlight, it was met with spite. I thought we were uplifting one another.
Be careful who you befriend, remain true to yourself and most importantly be a good person
She also privately tried to gaslight me via discord when someone notified her of my tweet today. Neither I nor Eva spoke with her about me posting this.

Eva feels betrayed and has been silent on these issues for about two months since she took a break from the space. She does not want to be contacted. She is traumatized and triggered. Please respect her privacy.
