Twitch streamer Matthew “Mizkif” Rinaudo has filed a lawsuit against fellow streamer and ex-girlfriend Emily “Emiru” Schunk. The case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas in early November 2025. This comes after Emiru’s October 2025 livestream, where she accused Mizkif of sexual assault, abuse, and harassment. In his lawsuit, Mizkif denies all her claims and shares details about their past relationship.The 12-page document, which became public online, shows Mizkif speaking about his time dating Emiru. He writes that they started dating in 2022 and faced constant online hate. He says Emiru’s followers “routinely” harassed them, and some even stalked her. He also claims they had many fights and that Emiru “threatened to kill herself” during several of them.Mizkif adds that near the end of their relationship, Emiru wanted to marry him and have children within the next five years. But he says he did not agree because things between them were unstable. So he ended the relationship and moved from Austin to Los Angeles in January 2025.
