Former OfflineTV member Federico ‘Fedmyster’ Gaytan has been removed from the content creation group due to allegations of sexual misconduct.
OfflineTV broke the news on the night of June 27, following accusations made by the house manager, Yvonne ‘Yvonnie’ Ng.
“We strive to be a place where everyone can feel comfortable and safe,” they tweeted. “The Fed has been removed from offline television. He will no longer live with us. We wholeheartedly support Yvonne, her statement, and anyone else who has the courage to share her story.”

In his Twitlonger statement, Yvonnie said Fed was the first friend he felt he made in the group, and that they used to often hang out together in his room since he had a television.
Then she claimed that one night, after coming home drunk, he got into bed with her and proceeded to move forward, before putting his hand under her shirt and touching her side next to his chest.
“10 minutes later, he ‘woke up’ and said,” Wow, how did I get here. “I asked him,” Do you remember anything? “
The 24-year-old apparently did the same thing again “a few weeks later” and again acted as if he couldn’t recall his actions when questioned.
The House Manager then claimed that Fedmyster had also acted similarly with fellow member Lily ‘LilyPichu’ Ki. “When she was going through her hard breakup with Albert, Fed also came into her room while she was drunk. She was lying down and he asked her if she wanted a massage,” she wrote.
“She said yes, and he started massaging her leg, and then brought her thighs up. A week later, he was drunk and lying next to her, and he said he liked her. Then she felt uncomfortable with everything, and he He asked me not to tell anyone what happened. “

LilyPichu also released its own Twitlonger statement shortly after OfflineTV revealed that they had separated from the transmitter. She claimed that after being tricked by Albert ‘Sleightlymusical’ Chang, Fed entered her room asking her if she wanted a massage.
“I agreed. He massaged my legs, from my feet to my upper thighs. He went back to my room, drunk, and lay down on my bed. He said he liked me. He started visiting me a lot,” he wrote. “I was confused because I always saw Fed as a good friend, and it hadn’t even been two weeks since Albert cheated on me.”
Update: LilyPichu later removed her Tweet, but the Twitlonger is still available.
Fedmyster has since released a statement of its own on Twitter, responding to the allegations in a series of tweets. “Earlier this week, some of my friends sat me down and expressed that on several occasions I had made them feel uncomfortable or uncomfortable,” he wrote.
“This pained me because it was not and never has been my intention to hurt the people closest to me. I fully understand the importance of having their voices heard, and I think I should step back, give them space and listen to their story,” he continued.
“I set out to improve this year, and as I often mention, I am trying to take more responsibility in my life. I owe it to both my friends and everyone who supports me to acknowledge my actions, and that begins by listening to the that I have hurt. “
The broadcaster joined OfflineTV in 2017 as an editor, but was not officially part of the content team until 2018.
He currently has 610,000 followers on his main Twitch channel and 469,000 subscribers on YouTube.
