Zenith was streaming outdoors on Sunday, September 22, when she ran into another broadcaster named Zake. In a clip that she shared online, Zake can be seen resting his head on her chest in a seemingly friendly embrace before Zenith moves the camera to focus on her face, visibly stunned by something happening off-camera.

“Oh my god,” she said in shock. “Did Zakey just cop a feel?”

“That’s a whole different thing,” Zake said off-screen before asking her to look at her Twitch chat.

“Chat, look at her face,” he urged. Zenith audibly gasped, saying, “Wow.”

“She’s just saying, ‘Wow,'” Zake continued. “They don’t know what happened.”

According to Zenith, Zake had sexually assaulted her during this encounter. In a tweet posted on September 25, she claimed that Zake had “motor-boated” her after laying his head on her chest and later allegedly grabbed her buttocks when he asked her to look at her chat.

“I wasn’t going to post about it, but this sh*t makes me feel absolutely disgusting,” she wrote. “I’ve had this on my mind for three days now and just can’t forget it. This was all within an hour of meeting each other, too. This isn’t okay, man.”

“Laughing is one of the biggest defense mechanisms,” she continued. “At that moment, I had no clue how to react. I dissociated and went into auto-pilot mode. Literally couldn’t even believe that sh*t really happened.”

Zenith’s tweet has gone viral, racking up over eight million views and over four thousand retweets as supporters share their sympathy for the streamer.

Zake has since offered a response to the situation, apologizing for the incident in a tweet that’s also gained a fair amount of traction.

“I am ashamed, and truly and deeply sorry. Words cannot express my full regret, especially considering the impact I have had on this streamer’s life.”
