OTK announces Mizkif has been placed on leave and is stepping away

By Aarnesh Shrivastava Modified 22 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share OTK reveals Mizkif would be stepping away from his duties amid s*xual harassment controversy (Image via Sportskeeda) In light of the recent controversy surrounding streamer CrazySlick, audiences learned that Matthew "Mizkif" was aware of the allegations and brushed them aside. Consequently, streamer organization One True King (OTK) issued a public statement clarifying their stance on the situation and also updating audiences about Mizkif's current status in the group. OTK stated that they had placed the co-founder on leave, and that he would step away from organizational duties until the findings of the legal investigations are disclosed.

OTK hired a third-party to investigate the matter

On September 20 Twitch streamer AdrianahLee alleged that Mizkif's roommate CrazySlick s*xually harassed her. She revealed that he inappropriately touched her by placing his hands on her chest and repeatedly saying that "he was checking her pulse." Jake Lucky@JakeSuckyTwitch streamer Adrianah Lee has come forward with the story Trainwreck alluded to earlier involving Slick, Mizkif and Maya.

She maintains that she was passed out when Slick came in and was placing his hands on her chest repeatedly in what he said was "checking her pulse" During the same stream, a viewer shared a year-old Mizkif clip, during which he seemingly admitted CrazySlick's antics and tried to downplay it. In the clip, Matthew can be heard saying: "What you can deem of it, it's s*xual harassment, whatever. At a low scale, it's not really a big deal. I don't think people really gave a s**t, and really cared." The following day, OTK released a statement regarding the subject matter and stated that they've begun a legal process by contracting a third-party to investigate the issue in-depth: "Yesterday evening, a series of clips and content surfaced relating to one of our founders. Due to the seriousness of what's been brought forward, we have begun the process of contracting a third-party legal organization to investigate the issue in detail. In the meantime, Mizkif has been placed on leave and will be stepping away from his organizational duties pending the results of the investigation." The official statement concluded with OTK mentioning: "OTK strongly condemns s*xual harassment, assault, and bigotry of all forms. We appreciate your support and patience during this time and will provide updates as we receive them."
