One True King (OTK) is basically the MMO clique of Twitch. However, the organization of super nerd Asmongold has had to endure quite a bit in recent months. Now a lawsuit for defamation has emerged, with Twitch streamer Adrianah Lee demanding over 2 million euros.
What kind of streamer is she? Adrianah Lee is a 22-year-old streamer from the USA. On Twitch, she primarily plays Fortnite or chats with her 60,000 followers in Just Chatting. In 2021, she made serious accusations against Twitch streamer CrazySlick, claiming he became aggressive at a party.
In the fall of 2022, the case received renewed attention when the streamer and OTK co-founder Matthew “Mizkif” Rinaudo, who was friends with CrazySlick, was accused of covering up the whole incident.
Mizkif disappeared from the public eye for a while and was cleared after an independent investigation initiated by OTK. But the case is not over yet: On March 16, Adrianah Lee filed a lawsuit against the parties involved.
$1.2 million for emotional distress
What is the lawsuit about? Contrary to what one might expect at first, Adrianah Lee is not suing for the original assault or the cover-up that she claims took place.
Instead, she accuses OTK and streamers associated with the organization of defaming her. According to a court document obtained by the US site Dexerto, OTK, CrazySlick, Mizkif, his then-girlfriend Maya Higa, and his company Mizkif LLC are named as defendants.
According to the 22-year-old, these content creators made her look bad in their statements regarding the allegations to protect CrazySlick’s reputation.
What does the streamer demand? According to Dexerto, Adrianah Lee is demanding over $2 million in damages:
- $250,000 for “any damages, costs, and attorney fees”
- $1.2 million for “false, defamatory, and made with malicious intent” statements
- an additional $1.2 million for “emotional distress” and “impairment of business relationships”
The 22-year-old claims that the online statements harmed her relationships with her followers, viewers, subscribers, and current and future sponsors.
It is still unclear how successful the lawsuit will be and whether there will be a trial, for example. However, Twitch streamer Félix “xQc” Lengyel has already stated that he does not want to cover the case on stream. Because on Twitch and YouTube, there is a real “trial meta”:
Streamer uses the “Depp vs. Heard” trial for his success – now he feels ashamed of it
