During a livestream on November 11, 2025, Emiru revealed that the streaming platform had agreed to several of her requests following the incident, one of which was donating $100,000 to a violence protection charity.

She first explained how she didn’t want to take the situation to court, as such cases usually become private, and she wanted a “public resolution” for it. Then, she talked about the charity agreement.

“I basically asked them (Twitch) for a list of things, and they agreed to all of them... One of the things that I asked for, that was like, important to me was, I asked if they would do a $100,000 donation to a violence protection charity and they said yes. So they are probably going to do that in about a month and they’ll post about that when they do that.” clip shared by u/ADHD_MAN on r/LivestreamFail
