Many people have reached out with concern over the past few days. It means a lot.”
explain why she hasn’t been online sincebecause “everything is happening”, she says:
As for my husband’s situation, which some of you may have seen the other day, he called me while I was streaming and disappeared for about two hours. Then I finally unmuted after about an hour and a half of the call. I’m sorry if other people can’t see it. I didn’t know what else to do…
“This was the first time he heard himself on a recording,” she said, adding that although he had been recorded during other abusive calls, she asked him to let him hear his voice. He added that he had never agreed to previous attempts to do so.
“I think when he heard himself on that phone, he really sank in how an asshole he really was…[laughs]…as if you didn’t even notice, idiot? ”

Later in the hour-long stream, while reading viewer comments aloud, one fan said, “I thought you were the girl boss,” to which she responded, “No, I’m a female employee.” It was. Now I can be a girl boss.” She also says there were many times in her career when she “wanted to go home and play Pokémon” at events and streaming, but was scared of her “conflict with her husband.” ‘ so I continued to stream her.
She also comments that she’s actually looking forward to “making friends again”, getting some sleep, watching TV and being able to “get dressed”.
