Fan Arrested After Alleged Assault on Twitch star Emiru at TwitchCon 2025?

Twitch personality Emiru (Emily Schunk) experienced a troubling encounter during a fan meet-and-greet at TwitchCon 2025 in San Diego. Video footage circulating on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit shows a male attendee approaching her on stage and attempting to kiss her neck without consent. Security responded swiftly, intervening to remove the individual and escort Emiru away from the situation. Visibly shaken, she was helped off stage by staff.

As of now, neither TwitchCon organizers nor local authorities have confirmed the identity or status of the man involved, and it’s unclear whether any legal action has been taken. The incident has reignited broader concerns about creator safety at major public events.

Emiru also referenced past issues with event security during a livestreamed conversation on October 17, 2025, with FaZe Clan member Jason “Jasontheween.” She recounted a previous TwitchCon experience where her personal security guard was permanently banned from the venue after detaining someone who had been persistently following her.

“I’ve had a security guard, two years ago, where there was a guy following me around TwitchCon, and he, like, asked him to stop. My guard asked him, the guy wouldn’t stop. So, he grabbed the guy, but he didn’t, like, hurt him. He was just holding the guy until, like, they called the con security came. And then, for some reason, they’re like, ‘Yeah, because your security guard touched him, he’s like, perma-banned from the venue forever,'” she explained.

This latest incident has once again put the spotlight on the need for stronger safety protocols and support for content creators attending large-scale events. TwitchCon organizers have yet to release an official statement addressing the situation.
