After the ban, Nina Lin spoke briefly about the situation during an IRL stream, where she admitted that what happened was wrong.

And what we did was wrong.”Nina added that she wanted to ensure Said was okay and emphasized that the incident was “not connected to anyone else.”As of now, Zoe Spencer has not released any statement regarding the allegations or her Twitch suspension.
