"During my meet and greet, this thing, troll, dude, creator shoved into the line and started being a d*ck to you, being super rude and just a f**king prick. First of all, I'm sorry, I didn't see him earlier and sought him out. i spoke for a long time with the Twitch staff about it afterwards but I didn't realize know what to do and they were so caught up in making sure that I was safe that they didn't check up on you lot."Addressing the concerning issue, the British Minecraft streamer apologized to his fans for not being able to take care of the situation back then. However, he further explained that he felt immense rage and disgust when he first heard about the harassment and disrespectful behavior from a fellow streamer.

Tommy then further went on to assure his fans that he is taking appropriate action against them. Continuing his trail of thought, he further added:
"I'm also getting in touch with the creator's right as soon as the stream's done since they recorded loads of it without my consent or the fans consent. I'm sure they'll do the right thing and not publish those section with and my fans are in."JiDion's side of the story

Nobody knows what happened, but everybody has an opinion.”Further talking about the comments he made towards all the female fans waiting in line for TommyInnit, he explained:
"Okay, I’ll address this one right here. Bro, any guy YouTuber will let you know having a female fanbase and male fanbase is literally kind of like unheard of. That’s what takes you into the upper echelon of YouTubers, right? TommyInnit had nothing but girls in his line and I literally said, ‘Wow, he has nothing but girls in his line,’ I said, ‘Good for you, Tommy,’ because bro, that is tough!”Social media reacts to the controversy
