YouTuber Daniel “Keemstar” Keem, host of the popular internet drama channel DramaAlert, faces serious allegations of soliciting nude photos from a former female employee while she was drunk. A leaked recording that has been circulating online appears to capture the woman, identified as Catlena, describing how Keemstar requested she wear a wig and get naked on camera.
The recording reveals troubling details about what happened. According to Catalena’s account, Keemstar made these requests while aware she was intoxicated. She states in the clip: “And again, totally my fault, I was drunk and under the influence, I did not think about what was going on.”

Perhaps most concerning are claims that Keemstar implied the woman could potentially regain employment or advance her career if she complied with his requests. This suggestion of a quid pro quo arrangement raises serious questions about abuse of power dynamics in creator-employee relationships.
Catlena, who is known as Linx on YouTube, clarifies in the recording that she was a former employee at the time, not actively working for Keemstar. However, this distinction doesn’t change the problematic nature of a prominent content creator making such requests of someone previously in his employ.
Keemstar, whose real name is Daniel Keem, has built his career on covering internet drama and controversies through his YouTube channel DramaAlert. With millions of subscribers, he positions himself as an unfiltered commentator on influencer communities and online conflicts.
This isn’t Keemstar’s first brush with controversy. Throughout his career, he’s faced numerous allegations of inappropriate behavior, harassment, and encouraging online mobbing. Despite regular scandals, he has maintained a significant audience and influence in online commentary circles.
Right now, Keemstar has not issued a public statement addressing these specific accusations. There is also no indication of legal action related to what happened.
