Mistreatment controversyEdit

 

On June 30th, 2020, Jut would release a TwitLonger claiming that Venia was, in fact, a sexual predator who took advantage of women.[1] Later that day, Venia posted a series of videos explaining how he was being accused for being a sexual predator, and that Froot had tried to have sex with him, as well as spreading rumors[2] about him sexually harassing other women in the community. The next day, Froot released her statement where she defended herself from the accusations. In her TwitLonger, she stated that everything between her and Venia were consensual, and that she had wanted to protect other girls from being mistreated by Venia as well[3]. Contrarily, in a leaked Discord conversation, Epic_Gabriel said that at around 4am, Venia woke up to Froot "literally grinding on top of him."[4]

Venia later released his own TwitLonger defending himself from both Froot and Jut.[5].

Due to there not being enough evidence from either side in said controversy, both Venia and Froot faced temporary bans from multiple tournament series.
