"Clancy has now posted a personal statement on the Twitch X account, apologizing directly to Emiru and taking responsibility for the incident. "It shouldn't have happened and we take that very seriously," Clancy said in the statement. "We failed, both in allowing it to occur, and in our response following. We mismanaged our communications about the incident, and that includes the comments I made. I apologize to Emiru for all that took place.""
"The statement continues to outline the next steps Twitch will be taking, including a "complete analysis" of the incident involving Emiru, as well as other issues that have been brought up in the wake of TwitchCon 2025. The other issues mentioned in the post include handling of IRL streaming at TwitchCon, as well as issues around accessibility at the event."
Emiru was assaulted during a TwitchCon meet-and-greet, prompting conflicting accounts between Twitch and Emiru. Twitch CEO Dan Clancy issued a personal apology on the Twitch X account, accepted responsibility, and acknowledged failures in both event security and post-incident communications, including his own comments. Twitch pledged a complete analysis of the incident and announced reviews of IRL streaming policies and event accessibility. Reactions to the apology were mixed, with critics noting previous similar promises and the late Friday timing of the post. Emiru stated she will not attend TwitchCon again, and questions remain about concrete security changes.
