On September 9, 2022, ZeRo published a video | On September 9, 2022, ZeRo published a video stating he along with Jisu made a joint statement stating that the lawsuit has concluded.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADUYFK-KJng&t=248s&ab_channel=ZeRo</ref> Both parties called for their audience to cease harassment towards each other based on the events in the Sky House and the parties' respective social media statements. Also, they have requested publications and any other YouTube commentary content creators referencing the event to respect the parties' wishes in that regard. After months of litigation, review of both parties' evidence, and sides of their story, both parties have come to an understanding of their shortcomings; ZeRo regrets his role in Jisu's experience in the Sky House as he had exacerbated it in online public discussions, while Jisu understands that the statements she made regarding ZeRo's wife "Vanessa" were not accurate and not based on events she had witnessed. She has apologized and since retracted those statements regarding Vanessa. Both parties has agreed to resolve the litigation and move forward from it rather than to waste further time, resources, and emotional energy. | ||
Also in the video, he stated that he plans on appealing his Twitch ban, and has reiterated that as he felt unwelcomed in the Smash community, he had no intentions to unretire from competitive Smash. Additionally, ZeRo has accused the community of maintaining an inconsistent bias and having a disregard for the law with its handling of these cases, noting that he felt the higher-ups of the community never liked him, and pointed out how they're trying to stop him from producing content by coercing other players and content creators from collaborating with him or acknowledging him in any capacity, with the threat of being banned from Smash events or losing their sponsor (as ZeRo alleges happened to a close friend of his after they played ''Valorant'' together offstream), whilst allowing other controversial figures to be collaborated with without repercussion. | |||
