Twitch streamers RatedEpicz and Lyndi have found themselves in hot waters after the latter was accused of extorting the former who is also her now ex-boyfriend as fans are aware. Detailed text message exchanges between the two found themselves online. Since then, the latter has been facing the internet’s wrath for demanding money. While commenting on the matter, one netizen wrote:
For those unversed, RatedEpicz is a popular British gaming streamer. He is best known for his Grand Theft Auto V: Roleplay Mod videos. The Twitch streamer has also played other games online including Rust, Among Us, Valorant, and Call of Duty: Warzone. Similarly, Lyndi, also known as Lindsay online is immensely popular in the gaming community. She often plays No Pixel under the Violet van Housen character.
Recently, Reddit users blasted the former couple online. Text messages showed Lyndi demanding money from RatedEpicz for her maintaining her silence. The exact reason behind the extortion remains unknown.
In one of the text messages, RatedEpicz was questioning Lyndi as to why she required the vast amount of $7000 from him. He said in a text:
“Because 7k a month is a lot and I don’t think it’s fair for you to say 7k a month or u don’t care and want me to rot and do fansly like I wanna help you with like around 2k so u have rent and extra s*it till you get on your feet.”Lyndi proceeds to claim that $2000 would not be sufficient for her. She then accuses him of pushing her “to do fansly.”
For those unversed, Fansly is an entertainment website where people often post their pictures which may also be provocative in exchange for money.
In other text messages that have gone viral, Lyndi claimed that she was consuming weed, alcohol, and “nothing else.” She also told RatedEpicz in a message that she “flirted back a little” with what seems to be another man. It seems like the two were still in a relationship when this text message was exchanged amongst each other.

Twitter user @Readwith_bri claimed that Lyndi was threatening to commit suicide as she abused him.
