Twitch Lawsuit: Mizkif Takes Emiru and Asmongold to Court
So if you’ve been keeping up with the streaming world’s latest implosion, you probably already know that Matthew ‘Mizkif’ Rinaudo—yes, that Mizkif—is suing fellow Twitch stars Emiru and Asmongold. And no, this isn’t just influencer beef. It’s a full-blown defamation lawsuit filed in federal court, complete with allegations of conspiracy, reputational sabotage, and nearly a million dollars in fallout.
What Sparked the Lawsuit?
Back in late October, Emiru went live with a stream that detailed her past relationship with Mizkif. She accused him of psychological and domestic abuse, stalking, harassment, sexual assault, and threats of blackmail. The stream was raw, emotional, and quickly went viral. Mizkif responded with his own broadcast, admitting to being controlling but denying the most serious allegations.
Then came Asmongold.
He covered the situation across multiple streams, calling Mizkif “the aggressor and abuser” and saying he should go to jail for what he “allegedly” did. That commentary, according to Mizkif’s legal team, amplified the damage and helped push him out of the companies he helped build.
Who’s Involved?
The lawsuit names:
- Emily “Emiru” Schunk
- Zack “Asmongold” Hoyt
- OTK Media Inc. (the org Mizkif co-founded)
- Mythic Talent Management
- King Gaming Labs
Mizkif claims that after Emiru’s stream, OTK terminated his remaining equity without compensation. Mythic and King Gaming Labs followed suit, demanding nearly $900,000 in fees and penalties. The lawsuit argues that none of these entities sought his side of the story before cutting ties.
What’s Mizkif Alleging?

According to the filing, Mizkif believes Emiru and Asmongold acted “in concert” to falsely accuse him of criminal activity and wrest control of the companies he helped build. He’s seeking damages for reputational harm, lost earnings, and emotional distress. The exact dollar amount hasn’t been disclosed, but the financial fallout is pretty big so far (probably why Mizkif is demanding 900k)!
Final Word: Twitch Drama Goes Legal
This isn’t just a messy breakup or a bad stream clip—it’s a legal battle that can change how creators handle public allegations and hold accountability to platforms for events that go down. This case might just stop at a settlement as it’s relying completely on the accuser’s ability to prove their innocence in a web community that has sub-communities who will fight tooth and nail to make sure the supposed guilty party is destroyed.
