‘We Failed’ Twitch CEO Responds to Emiru TwitchCon Assault

During the first day of TwitchCon 2025 in San Diego, streamer Emiru was attacked at her meet-and-greet. A man rushed in, grabbed her head, and tried to kiss her. While her private security stopped the attack from getting worse, event security didn’t step in. Twitch stated the attacker was immediately apprehended and banned from the event, but Emiru refuted this, calling it a false statement. She explained on X (formerly Twitter) that the man was allowed to leave after the assault and she didn’t learn he’d been caught until several hours later.
