Overview of FedMyster’s Controversial Departure from OfflineTV
Federico Michael Gaytan, widely recognized as “FedMyster,”captured the attention of many as a prominent figure in the gaming community and a member of OfflineTV (OTV) from 2017 to 2020. His affiliation with the group came to a controversial end following allegations of sexual misconduct from fellow OTV members, Yvonne “Yvonnie”and Lily “LilyPichu.”
Allegations and Responses
Both Yvonne and Lily accused FedMyster of inappropriate behavior, including uninvited entries into their personal spaces. Additionally, popular streamer Imane “Pokimane”also stated that he had crossed established boundaries. In the aftermath of these allegations, FedMyster publicly claimed that the accusations against him were exaggerated, which led to his withdrawal from the streaming scene for an extended period until his return in June 2021.
Current Status and Recent Activity
Despite his 2021 comeback to Twitch, FedMyster’s activity has remained sparse. Currently, his Twitch account is dormant, sparking questions about his career trajectory. Some reports from Reddit users suggested that he last appeared on YouTube in 2024, where he was reportedly involved in gambling sponsorships:
“Last time I saw he was streaming on YT taking gambling sponsors and promising to do a bunch of money giveaways,”said u/SingSillySongs
Additional comments from users suggested he had adopted an alias while engaging in gambling-related content:
“He was gambling under a different name for a few months then went dark again,”said u/Ryboiii
Another update revealed that FedMyster may have relocated and found personal happiness, with one user stating:
“From his non Fedmyster IG, looks like he moved out of California, has had for a couple of years a girlfriend and works for some touring EDM group. Looks pretty happy,”said u/Reckless_Monk
FedMyster’s Reflections on the Controversy
In the limited communications since his return, FedMyster has chosen to remain mostly silent on social media. He has not streamed in over two years and only briefly addressed the scandal during his comeback in 2021. In a now-deleted post, he remarked:
“It was not and never has been my intention to hurt those closest to me. I want to make it clear that my intentions were never to act maliciously or predatorily. I am flawed; I have issues that impede my friendships and issues with myself. But I am not a predator, and I never wanted this to happen.”
During his return stream, he elaborated on his interactions with LilyPichu, stating:
“She was in a very dark place, so I wanted to be around her to make sure she was okay. This was someone that meant the world to me; her happiness was important to me. As I’m hanging out with her, there was this sense of intimacy that started to grow. There was a time I was in her room, and I asked, ‘Hey, can I give you a foot rub?’ and she was like, okay. It felt real and honest for me to say I kind of like you. But when I woke up the next morning, it was like, oh sh*t, I did not mean that, and looking back now it was a complete violation.”
Reactions to his statements were mixed, potentially explaining his continued absence from the streaming world. Today, OfflineTV’s roster has significantly changed, with only one of the original co-founders, Scarra, still affiliated with the organization. Notably, FedMyster is among several content creators who have departed from OTV, which now also includes figures like Pokimane, PokeLawls, and SleightlyMusical.
