==Ban==
On July 4th, 2020, amidst a wave of sexual harassment allegations, {{Sm|Kiwi}} came out with a TwitLonger where she had to defend herself and her relationship with {{Sm|Bizkit}}. In the TwitLonger, she accused Mikeray4 that in 2011, he had allegedly been spreading the rumors on the relationship as well as allegedly having several uncomfortable and abusive experiences she and Bizkit had with him in 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1srabk5|title=Kiwi's TwitLonger}}</ref> Following the statement, a panel of New England tournament organizers recommended a permanent ban for Mike and he would be placed on the Global Ban List.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/NESmashEvents/status/1283174788807221249|title=Mike's recommended ban}}</ref>
 
Mikeray4 refuted these allegations on July 17th, claiming their stories were falsified in order for his story to be not heard. <ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1srb09v|title=Mike's TwitLonger}}</ref> As such, multiple members and tournament organizers of the Brawl community continue to allow him to participate in tournaments, despite the ban imposed on him by New England Smash Ultimate.

==Trivia==
*Earlier in his career Mikeray was known for his '''10th Best in New England''' "combo videos", in which he showcased moments in tournaments where he was beaten by his opponents in hilarious fashions.
