Popular streamer and cosplayer Emily “Emiru” Schunk appears to have been attacked during a meet-and-greet on the first day of TwitchCon 2025 in a viral video that has gone viral on social media. This has sparked a backlash from fans and other creators, as well as new worries about creator safety at the event.
In the video that was widely shared on X, Reddit, and other platforms on October 17, 2025, a man can be seen approaching Emiru while she is onstage.

Did police really arrest D4vd’s bodyguard?
The identity of the assailant was also the subject of heated speculation, with some social media users alleging the man was ‘MarkyNextDoor,’ who is speculated to be the bodyguard of American rapper D4vd. The San Diego Police Department has not yet released a formal statement or confirmation and the rumors of D4vd’s bodyguard arrest seem to be unverified speculation. The allegations have not been supported by any reliable source.
“D4vd’s bodyguard MarkyNextDoor was just arrested after assaulting popular Twitch streamer Emiru,” the viral post read. It has garnered over 54k views.
Reacting to the viral video, another X user condemned the incident as “disgusting”, saying: “Someone just assaulted Emiru at twitchcon, this might be the most disgusting thing ive ever seen, he better face jail time.”
Who is MarkyNextDoor?
MarkyNextDoor is a well-known Twitch streamer who has previously been identified as D4vd’s bodyguard. But this connection has been the subject of speculation and controversy, particularly in relation to the Celeste Rivas case as police found her corpse in D4vd’s Tesla.
The San Diego Convention Center hosted TwitchCon 2025 on October 17–19, bringing together fans and artists for meet-and-greets, talks, and streams. The incident was seen on camera by a fan during the meet-and-greet.
