A collaborative livestreaming event at Santa Monica Pier took a frightening turn when a man repeatedly harassed and eventually threatened a group of well-known female content creators. Emiru, Valkyrae, and Cinna were hosting their “sisathon” marathon broadcast when everything fell apart in front of thousands of viewers.
The trouble began as the streamers were exiting a Ferris wheel ride. The man first approached Emiru asking for her phone number, which she declined. Rather than respecting their boundaries, he continued following the group throughout the pier pretending to be a fan.
As his behavior became more concerning, Valkyrae’s assistant Emily confronted the man directly. The situation quickly escalated when he responded with threats of violence, forcing security personnel to step in and remove him from the area.

During the tense confrontation, Cinna positioned herself as a human shield between Emiru and the potential threat. This protective gesture was caught on the live broadcast, prompting immediate concern from viewers watching in real-time.
The streamers ultimately decided to cut their marathon event short, prioritizing their safety. Local police provided an escort as they left the public space to ensure no more hiccups occurred.
This troubling event points to ongoing safety concerns for public figures, particularly female content creators. Emiru has previously dealt with stalker situations, making this situation especially alarming for her and her colleagues.
The broadcast captured every moment of what happened, putting them in a uniquely vulnerable spot where thousands witnessed the harassment unfold live. Many viewers and fellow content creators have since called for increased security measures during public appearances.
