Marcel alias nooreax is currently a successful newcomer in the German Twitch. Now a woman is making accusations against the streamer. He responds with a detailed statement.
Who is involved? nooreax is currently one of the rising stars of the German Twitch scene. His channel has seen steep growth since November 2023. In the spring, he was awarded best newcomer at the StreamAwards by Reved.
Now he has to navigate what may be the first major scandal of his career: A woman accuses him of harassing her in private messages and publishes screenshots of conversations with other alleged victims.
When there are accusations against influencers, their statements are often examined closely.
Streamer promises improvement
What are the accusations? The X user Chiara accused nooreax in a post from May 31, 2024, of harassing her in private messages (via X). Later, she published screenshots of messages that she claims to have received from other women.
The messages indicate that the Twitch streamer allegedly sent unsolicited so-called “dick pics”. He is also accused of pressuring women to meet and engage in sexual acts (via X).
This is what the Twitch streamer says: nooreax published a statement on June 1 on X. In it, he apologized for his messages having “put someone in an uncomfortable situation” and causing “uncomfortable feelings”. That was not his intention, and he has already apologized to Chiara.
The streamer emphasizes that consent and respect are important to him and that he did not pressure the woman. He offers to publish the joint chat histories with Chiara’s consent to provide context. However, these histories are “extremely intimate,” and the whole situation is “extremely embarrassing” for him.
So far, no publication of the chat histories has taken place.
Regardless, nooreax promises to work on himself and his communication and to improve. The Twitch streamer asks other affected individuals to contact him directly to address the situation. He does not want to put anyone in an uncomfortable position.
nooreax receives much support from other internet personalities for his statement.
The case illustrates the current prevailing mood in German Twitch. After allegations against several big influencers, many are waiting for the next big scandal. Users on social networks call for not idealizing content creators – everyone has some dirt on them.
However, a major dilemma is also emerging: on one hand, people want to believe the victims, while on the other hand, some are concerned about how easily it seems possible to destroy entire careers with some accusations.
