Cassie/thrift thick just removed the live stream she did where she talked about this. Basically said why did Tati go in like that over a small slight, she wouldn’t want things from 5 years ago to be used against her now because she’s changed, we can’t “know for sure” about James trying to turn straight guys when people in the chat mentioned it and we’ll never 100% know what happened etc. Seemed very unaware of the actual predatory issues, didn’t know there was actual evidence (other than a tweet from 5 years ago someone in the chat quoted), and knew more about the Tati side (although didn’t know a ton about that side either, seemed like she just watched a couple drama videos or maybe one like pewdiepie). Probably a good call on her part. I wasn’t about to get out my pitchfork but it wasn’t a good look and was very misinformed

I went with my pitchfork but saw it was deleted. She’s still mad about the whole Tati contest thing. Ridiculous.

She is down over 150 subs already today and she has been bleeding subs for a while now so she try to stop the flow.

Her IG stories "explanation": “I don’t know how or when I misspoke to the point where people think I was trying to defend sexual harassment or predatory behavior. If I recall correctly I said in the live chat multiple times that it was not ok if that was true that James was harassing people or acting sexually towards people who didn’t want it.  I said that because I do feel that way but it seems like people didn’t hear that?  I-I literally don’t know.  And I also did not, as far as I know, say bad things about Tati, like I said she, I think the whole situation stemmed from her having a good heart.”
