The 29-year old YouTuber and co-owner of 100 Thieves faced severe backlash after she posted photos from the gathering, which featured prominent creators such as Ludwig Ahgren, Bella Poarch, BrookeAB, CouRage and more.

Her posts seemingly irked a certain section of the online community, who soon began criticizing her for allegedly hosting an event in the midst of a raging pandemic.

Despite her posting a clarificatory tweet informing fans that they had all got themselves tested and taken the necessary precautions prior to the event, it failed to placate their anger.

Rather, it ended up exacerbating things to the point of her having to delete her tweet.

In light of the situation, Valkyrae recently took to streaming to address the backlash once and for all, as she explained the reasoning behind hosting the event.

The aforementioned incident is only one of several forms of criticism that Valkyrae has had to deal with of late.

From being unjustly accused of making an offensive Black Lives Matter joke to unnecessarily being dragged into the Addison Rae x TommyInnit Dream SMP drama, the past few days have been rather rough for Valkyrae.

So much so that it has led her to seriously contemplate the very future of her streaming career.

When it comes to the CashApp event, Valkyrae recently went into detail regarding the organization of the event:

She also stressed the importance of how such events provide people with a source of livelihood, especially during such tumultuous times.

Valkyrae also revealed that henceforth, she has decided to refrain from taking part in such events, due to the wave of backlash that often comes her way.

In light of her recent statements, several fans extended support to her and slammed all those who were spewing unwarranted hate towards her:

Despite having to bear the brunt of an increasingly toxic virtual environment, Valkyrae can certainly take solace in the fact that she has an understanding army of fans behind her, ready to support her through it all.
