Several women have accused Barker of his behavior towards them. The allegations were started off by a woman named Emily on Twitter. She made a couple of tweets that opened the gates to many revelations.

Emily has accused Barker of predatorial behavior. She made several claims stating that Barker used the threat of self-harm as a means to get what he desired. Emily also revealed that Barker had similar interactions with minors and has sent explicit videos and pictures to them over social media applications.

Emily’s tweets further brought out many girls trying to convey the same message. Previously eSports teams such as TSM and Fnatic also went through the same experiences with their members.

The latest reports state that an ambulance and a police car were sent to Barker’s home last night over the news that Barker was set to harm himself. He is reportedly fine but is set to undergo trials for the allegations, as mentioned earlier.

Barker will face the charges if he is proven guilty. The involvement of minors in the case makes it even more controversial for the ex-FaZe clan member. There is still no proof that he has indeed committed the said mistakes, so it remains to be seen what will be the outcome. As of now, let’s go with the saying ‘Innocent until proven guilty.’
