Incident Details
The incident occurred during the “Sis-a-thon,” a week-long streaming marathon organized by Valkyrae and Cinna, which had been ongoing since late February. On that Sunday, the streamers were at Santa Monica Pier, exiting a Ferris wheel, when a man approached them. According to multiple reports, including one from Al Bawaba, the man initially asked Cinna for her phone number. When she declined, saying, “I don’t know how to use a phone,” his demeanor shifted. He became aggressive, shouting, “Let’s fight right now, let’s f***ing fight right now,” and escalated further by threatening to kill them, then chased the group.
The streamers’ immediate response was to call for security, and the stream was abruptly ended. Reports from Dexerto indicate that a moderator later confirmed police assistance, highlighting the severity of the situation. The man’s identity remains unknown, and as of the latest updates, no arrests have been reported, with more details pending.
