Creation

OfflineTV was founded in 2017 by William "Scarra" Li, his manager at the time, Chris Chan, and Imane "Pokimane" Anys. [1] After previously attempting and failing at creating a successful content house, Li then went on to found OfflineTV. Its first four members were Scarra, Chris Chan, Based Yoona, and Pokimane. [12]

I think I just wanted to live with friends. That was the origin of it. I wanted to live with people and make cool stuff with other people. It was myself and my manager Chris who started this idea.

Li on the origins of OfflineTV

After living together for four years, the group left their content house and began living separately following the expiration of their lease in December 2021, citing that they wanted to try new things while remaining as part of Offline TV. [13] As of December 16, 2022, most of the OfflineTV members have moved in together again, with the exception of Michael Reeves and Yvonne.[ citation needed ]

We strive to be a place where everyone can feel comfortable and safe. With that in mind, Fed has been removed from Offline TV. He will also no longer be living with us. We wholeheartedly support Yvonne, her statement, and anyone else who has the courage to share their story.

June 27, 2020 [49]

Federico Michael Gaytan, more often known as Fedmyster, is an American Twitch streamer and YouTube personality, who is known for his IRL streams.

On June 27, 2020, fellow OfflineTV members Yvonne "Yvonnie" Ng and Lily "LilyPichu" Ki came forward with sexual misconduct allegations involving Gaytan. Ng stated that on two separate instances, Gaytan would enter her room intoxicated and uninvited, lay down on her bed, and begin inappropriately touching her. [52] Ki also stated that he would enter her room uninvited and make inappropriate advances on her. [53] Gaytan was removed from the group following the allegations, and in the week following his removal, over six members of the OfflineTV friend circle came out with their own stories of his inappropriate or manipulative behavior. [9] [54] [55]

On November 24, 2020, a 25-page statement by Gaytan titled "my truth" was leaked, which alleged that much of the situation was exaggerated to form a false narrative against him. Anys addressed the leaked document on stream the next day, conveying the situation from her point of view, but stressing that neither had ill will for the other. Gaytan later responded to the leak by stating that the statement was made months ago and that although they disagreed on some aspects, they eventually decided to keep it hidden and move on. He also noted that the statement being leaked was unintentional and undesired for both of them. [56]
