Twitch streamer Kai Cenat has responded to accusations that he did ‘not help’ an alleged rape victim while she attended a party.
On January 6, Jovi Pena, a TikToker with over 120,000 followers, alleged that she had been raped at a party Kai Cenat had invited her to.
She claimed the man, named Djigui Seck, was a stranger to her at the time but had raped her after discovering her upstairs in bed. It is also alleged that Kai told her to go upstairs as nobody would bother her.
"I don’t believe Kai is to blame," she continued, "However he was involved whether you agree or not it’s just a fact. He’s the only person I knew at this party and he’s the one who told me to go upstairs where everything occurred."
Early on January 7, the streamer went live on on Twitch to address the situation and clear his name out of this soup.
He went on to explain that he was throwing a party in New York City on New Year’s Eve 2022. It was there that he met Pena, saying he did not know her beforehand. However, he also stated that he has no intentions to bash Pena and he has significant sympathy for her.
Discussing Seck, the man accused of the rape, Kai said that they attended high school together. "He’s a friend that I genuinely know," he explained. "This is somebody that I know personally."
His legal team have since given him the “green light” to discuss the matter, hence why he went live from the UK early on January 7.
"I have stepped aside from him and her since it happened,” Kai said. "The only person I’ve been in conversation with is the law. My lawyers, my legal team. Nobody else."
Throughout, Kai asked his audience to avoid going to Pena’s social media accounts and harassing her. He also promised to keep fans as updated as is possible moving forwards.He
