TwitchCon venue staff kicked out after female streamers accuse him of sexual harassment
A venue crew member at TwitchCon Rotterdam was removed from the event after he was filmed allegedly sexually harassing female streamers.
TwitchCon Europe took place in Rotterdam from May 31 to June 1, and many of the platform’s top streamers were in attendance.
The show featured a slew of announcements, including the introduction ofvertical streamsand a newpaywalled Rewind featurecoming to the site – but not every part of the con was smooth sailing.
During the convention, streamer ‘Jessick’ encountered a member of the event’s crew while broadcasting, and the situation was incredibly awkward, to say the least.
TwitchCon venue staff accused of sexually harassing streamer
During a stream at Twitchcon, Jessick started talking with someone who worked as part of the event’s venue crew. While this person wasn’tTwitchStaff, their conduct left the streamer very disturbed.
In a post on X, Jessick documented the situation in a video in which a crew member grabbed her back. When she turned around to speak with the man, he said he wanted to say hello to her viewers.

“Do you also think we’re a great couple together?” he asked the chat. “They say ‘no.’ Okay, thank you guys.”
After learning Jessick was from Canada, he replied, “I’ve always wanted to date a girl from Canada. I don’t know if it’s gonna be you yet.”
Eventually, the man let the streamer into the venue and when she was by herself, she revealed her true thoughts.
“I was going to give him the benefit of the doubt. I was like, ‘Maybe he’s just like that.’ But then he said ‘We’re a cute couple.’ I was almost certain when he came up to me he was my friend, because he grabbed my back. I got really touched.”

“He was removed [don’t worry]. Twitch staff actually were the ones that helped me. This guy was crew,” Jessick followed up.
