CEO Dan Clancy has apologized for multiple failures in how he and his company handled the assault of streamer Emiru during a meet-and-greet at TwitchCon. Almost a week after high-profile Twitch streamer Emiru was assaulted during a TwitchCon meet-and-greet, Twitch CEO Dan Clancy has posted a statement apologizing to the streamer and acknowledging the multiple failures that allowed the incident to happen. While Twitch posted a statement about the assault shortly after it happened, the company's version of events was strongly disputed by Emiru's own statement about the incident. Clancy has also been called out for his comments on the assault during an interview with Taylor Lorenz, where he seemed to put the onus back on creators to "control [their] community." Clancy has now posted a personal statement on the Twitch X account, apologizing directly to Emiru and taking responsibility for the incident. "It shouldn’t have happened and we take that very seriously," Clancy said in the statement. "We failed, both in allowing it to occur, and in our response following. We mismanaged our communications about the incident, and that includes the comments I made. I apologize to Emiru for all that took place." The statement continues to outline the next steps Twitch will be taking, including a "complete analysis" of the incident involving Emiru, as well as other issues that have been brought up in the wake of TwitchCon 2025. The other issues mentioned in the post include handling of IRL streaming at TwitchCon, as well as issues around accessibility at the event. "You put a lot of trust in us by attending TwitchCon, and we take our responsibility to keep you safe seriously," the statement concludes. Reactions to the post have been mixed, with some commenters pointing out that Twitch has made similar promises around improving security at TwitchCon in the past. The post was also sent out late on a Friday afternoon, a notoriously strategic timeslot for companies sharing bad news they want to move on from quickly. Emiru has said that she will not be attending TwitchCon again in the future and has strongly urged other creators to reconsider their attendance.
