Valkyrae, Cinna, And Emiru Face Terrifying Death Threats From Stalker During Live Stream At Santa Monica Pier

SANTA MONICA, CA – The sun-drenched Santa Monica Pier, usually a beacon of joy and carefree fun, became the backdrop for a terrifying ordeal on March 2, 2025, as beloved Twitch streamers Valkyrae, Cinna, and Emiru were subjected to relentless harassment and chilling death threats during a live broadcast. What began as a celebratory “Sisathon” IRL stream quickly devolved into a nightmare, forcing the trio to abruptly end their event and leaving millions of fans in shock and fear for their safety.

In an incident that has sent shockwaves through the streaming community, a man, now identified by many as a “stream sniper” and “stalker,” aggressively pursued the popular content creators, culminating in explicit threats to “kill” them. The harrowing encounter, captured live for a global audience, has ignited a fierce debate about streamer safety concerns, the dark side of online fame, and the very real dangers faced by female personalities in public spaces.

The Nightmare Unfolds: From Ferris Wheel to Fear

Valkyrae, Cinna, and Emiru, along with their crew, were enjoying a seemingly idyllic day at the iconic Santa Monica Pier, engaging with fans and broadcasting their “Sisathon” marathon. The mood was light as they disembarked from the Ferris wheel, but the atmosphere quickly soured when a man approached Cinna, brazenly asking for her phone number. Cinna, attempting to deflect the uncomfortable advance, nervously replied that she “didn’t know how to use a phone.” This seemingly innocuous refusal, however, triggered a disturbing escalation.

The man, who had reportedly been following the group for some time and had even changed his clothes to avoid recognition after an earlier, more benign interaction, became agitated. He began to trail the streamers, his demeanor growing increasingly menacing. The situation reached a terrifying crescendo when he lunged at the women and, in a chilling moment caught on camera, explicitly threatened their lives, shouting, “I’ll f***ing kill you right now!”

Security Scramble and Police Involvement

Panic ensued as the streamers and their team scrambled to escape the escalating threat. Security personnel and the crew intervened, attempting to shield Valkyrae, Cinna, and Emiru from their aggressor. The incident forced the immediate cessation of the “Sisathon” marathon, a decision made by Valkyrae and Cinna who later expressed their profound shock and distress.

“We are all ok and have been with police. We decided we are done with the marathon and need time to process!” Valkyrae posted on social media, reassuring her millions of followers while highlighting the severity of the situation. Cinna echoed these sentiments, stating, “Hey everyone we are safe. unfortunately we have end the marathon and need time to process what happened as we shock at the moment.”

The Santa Monica Police Department confirmed they are actively investigating the incident, reviewing video evidence and working to identify the man responsible. “The man got away, and was gone by the time officers got there,” police stated, adding that they are reviewing all witness statements and surveillance footage to determine the nature of the crime.

A Broader Conversation: Streamer Safety in the Spotlight

This terrifying event has reignited urgent conversations within the streaming community about the constant threats and harassment faced by content creators, particularly women, who engage in IRL stream death threats. Many fans and fellow streamers have voiced outrage, demanding increased security measures and a safer environment for those who share their lives online.

Valkyrae herself, a prominent voice in the community, later revealed the personal toll such incidents take, explaining why she feels compelled to relocate annually. “I’ve moved at least once a year… I think it’s for safety because a lot of streamers have stalkers and a lot of streamers might get doxxed,” she shared, underscoring the pervasive fear that shadows many successful streamers. She also indicated a shift towards greater privacy in her personal life to protect herself from future threats.

The incident at Valkyrae Santa Monica Pier is not an isolated event. It comes amidst a growing number of alarming reports of streamers facing real-world dangers, from stalkers and harassment to more severe attacks. This climate of fear has even led to high-profile streamers like Valkyrae and QTCinderella expressing apprehension about attending major events like TwitchCon, citing safety concerns.

As the investigation continues, the streaming world watches with bated breath. Will the Santa Monica Pier incident serve as a critical turning point, prompting platforms and law enforcement to implement more robust protections for streamers? Or will the chilling reality of online fame continue to cast a long, dangerous shadow over those who dare to share their lives with the world? The answers remain to be seen, but one thing is clear: the fight for streamer safety is far from over.
