A decisive statement from content creator Bonbibonkers has officially confirmed that fellow streamer Emiru was not involved in any grooming allegations she previously discussed.
The clarification comes after days of unfounded rumors that spread across social media platforms, causing significant harassment directed at Emiru.
The controversy began when clips of Bonbi discussing past personal experiences surfaced online. Though Bonbi never mentioned any specific names, internet users quickly jumped to conclusions and incorrectly identified Emiru as the alleged groomer in these stories.
“The person I was referring to in those clips is not Emiru, and I never said it was,” Bonbi stated firmly on her Twitter account (@bonbishka). “The fact people ran with the story and put her name on it in attempt to cancel her is really disgusting, and it’s not anyone’s story to retell except mine.”
With the false allegations picking up steam, several high-profile streamers talked about the rumors on their platforms, accidentally making the misinformation spread even further. This snowball effect caused substantial reputational damage to Emiru, who is a member of the streaming organization OTK.
Bonbi expressed frustration that her personal experiences were weaponized against an innocent party. She specifically urged people to stop making assumptions about connections to OTK and emphasized that only she has the right to share details about her own experiences.
The situation shows just how quickly unverified information can move around online. What started as speculation quickly turned into “fact” everywhere, with lots of people accepting and repeating the allegations without checking if they were true.
