    Asmongold replied to an X account @yeet posting news of her return to the streaming platform and slammed Twitch for treating an alleged sexual assault with levity:

    “Sexual assault live on stream is a 1-week ban? How is this possible? There's a point where people should be contacting advertisers and Amazon leadership, and I'm pretty sure we're there.”

    Other streamers, like Valkyrae, discussed the situation, expressing their discomfort with Nina’s actions and how Twitch handled the issue.

    More details on the Nina Lin sexual assault controversy 

    Streamer Nina Lin recently faced heavy backlash after clips of her and fellow streamer Zoe Spencer, reportedly sexually assaulting FaZe Clan member Said, went viral online.

    The outrage from Netizens led to her suspension from Twitch on October 25, 2025.

    She was reinstated a day later and banned again on October 30. The streamer owned up to her actions in the clip, stating:

    "I'm old enough to own up to what I did wrong. And during the situation, I genuinely, 100 % thought it was a joke. I just thought he was laughing. So I'm like, 'Oh, we're all just laughing and geeking.' But yeah, I see. It is wrong. It is really, really wrong. And what we did was wrong."

    She tendered a formal apology on Instagram, stating that she had reflected on her actions and how they had negatively impacted the people around her.

    She added that she was “incredibly sorry” for the harm caused and will strive to act better. 

    She added:

    “Whether the comments are coming from other creators, former friends or viewers, I will strive to do better, learn and grow as that is the best and only option. I am aware that no matter what I say or do there will be people that will use it against me, but I know myself and I've never had malicious intent. I will work even harder than I have in the past and although I may not ever be perfect, I will be the best version of myself possible.”
