Overview

Keemstar Grooming Allegations refers to series of accusations made against the YouTuber and creator of DramaAlert Keemstar by Twitter / X user @Espaking1 (formerly MushSlayer), who accused him of allegedly grooming a 15-year-old minor on Instagram. A separate part of the accusations, as well as the initial spark, centers around the friend of @Espaking1, Twitter user @Rinne_Z_, in relation to a callout post against Ricky Berwick during the 'The Unknown' transphobia controversy. The allegations appeared online in mid-March 2024, but their claims have not been verified and they did not gain viral attention outside the initial thread.

Background

On March 16th, 2024, Twitter user
@Espaking1^[1] posted a thread in which they said, "exposing @/KEEMSTAR – a 🧵 PLS RETWEET AND SPREAD," accusing Keemstar of multiple allegations. The start of the thread was explicitly stated as being due to a DramaAlert post featuring @Rinne_Z_, which was claimed to be Keemstar rallying his fanbase to attack @Rinne_Z_ over a tweet calling out Ricky Berwick for what was perceived by some as a transphobic joke regarding "The Unknown" character for the video game Dead by Daylight.

In the thread, other allegations made by @Espaking1 ranging from Keemstar allegedly being racist to doxxing random people were made (shown below).

Grooming Allegations

Inside the thread, @Espaking1^[2] made claims about how Keemstar purportedly groomed a 15-year-old minor on Instagram with videos that allegedly feature Keemstar sending voice messages asking the individual to prove that they're not a deepfake, as well as asking them to show their full body so they could prove that they're real. This is shown in uploads provided to the thread (shown below).
