As noted by content creator Maximus Aemulus, MsDirtyBird’s first attempt at an apology video was rejected outright when it was discovered that she was using dialogue from the script of the TV movie “Cyberbully.” That video was quickly taken down.
In the days leading up to MsDirtyBird’s second big apology, the streamer posted numerous screenshots showing the kinds of toxic and angry messages she’d been receiving. This was eventually followed by a picture of what appeared to be herself wearing a hospital wristband, along with a caption telling people she was finally “getting help” and that she wouldn’t be back for a while.
The next day, MsDirtyBird posted a new apology video to her Twitter feed, in which she let people know right away that she wouldn’t be working from a script this time. She admitted, “What I did was undeniably f***ed up and should never have happened,” adding that she would be taking a break of “about 6 months to a year” from streaming and social media. MsDirtyBird also promised to continue seeking help and thanked her fans for listening to her apology.
It’s unclear whether MsDirtyBird’s Twitch career has been ruined or if she can remain true to her promise to come back better than ever. However, judging from the comments below her apology video — many of which point out that she went live barely an hour after posting the apology — it seems that viewers remain unconvinced of her remorse.
