Twitch streamer Kathelina, formerly known as Kvrtez, has responded after ex-boyfriend Kenneth Odigbo, known online as Imnotkenneth, accusing her of cheating on him with her blood cousin.
In a 12-minute YouTube video titled My Truth..., Kathelina accepted responsibility for her actions while also making allegations about what she described as an abusive relationship.
"First and foremost, I want to start off by taking full accountability for what I did," Kathelina said. "I want to apologize to my supporters for disappointing them. I did a lot of things that I am not proud of, and I have to own up to them."
She also apologized directly to Kenneth.
"To my ex, I'm so sorry for hurting you, and I'm sorry that I did not take your feelings into consideration when I did what I did," she said.
The response comes days after Kenneth posted a video claiming he discovered communications between Kathelina and her cousin after reviewing footage from an AI-powered smart litter box camera in their shared bathroom. Kenneth said the discovery led him to explicit messages, photos, and what he described as a sexual "bucket list."
"I genuinely was throwing up… just nonstop bro," Kenneth said.
While admitting she betrayed her ex's trust, Kathelina pushed back on claims that she had been cheating throughout the entirety of their relationship.
"There was a rumor going around that I was cheating my entire relationship and I've been doing this for months, which is completely false because this is only a recent incident that had occurred," she said.
Kathelina also denied writing a note that circulated online after the controversy erupted.
She argued that the relationship was far more troubled than it appeared publicly.
"Our relationship was not picture perfect as it may seem, and I lost myself in our relationship, and I was in a very dark place at the time when I did what I did," she said.
The streamer then accused Kenneth of verbal, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse.
"My ex was never a saint like he paints himself out to be," she said.
According to Kathelina, Kenneth allegedly choked her against a wall on multiple occasions and sexually assaulted her during an encounter while both had been drinking. She claims to possess videos, photographs, messages, and other evidence supporting her allegations.
Kathelina also revealed she was recently involuntarily admitted to a mental health facility after being considered a danger to herself.
"I know I have done wrong, I fucked up, and I am taking time away to seek professional help in order to correct my mistakes, reflect on what I have done, and to become a better me," she said.
Despite the controversy, Kathelina said she hopes to eventually return to streaming and use her platform to promote mental health awareness.
Kenneth posted a lengthy video in which he denied Kathelina’s accusations.
“I’m innocent. I didn’t so shit he says in the video,” Kenneth says before accusing her of “sympathy farming” on the Internet. As for the “toxic and abusive” nature of their relationship, Kenneth refutes it by arguing that he often “tried to get away” from her.
“I have tried to leave several times,” he added. “Yes this was a toxic relationship, but stop trying to put the blame on me.”
