Twitch streamer Marlon Lundgren Garcia held a candid livestream on May 5 for addressing a very explosive allegation and resurfaced videos. This is the first time the Swedish-American person directly responded to the backlash that has engulfed him online.
Streamer admits past comments were “100% wrong”Just a day before, a viral clip had an ex-former associate accuse Marlon of using a fake persona to charm the world into fame- lies involving being homeless and questionable acts for money. That same person also went on to say how he helped Marlon delete incriminating evidence from the internet, painting a rather negative picture of deceit and manipulation.
Marlon, who had heavy polarizing content and a very intense online personality, in an hour-long stream gave his apologies and also a defense. He spoke to thousands live wherein he claimed that a majority of the crazy comments he made in his earlier broadcasts were made strategically-they were meant to go viral and not really to be taken as his own beliefs.
“When I said those things, I thought it was okay to say those things,” Marlon said. “Because I wanted to blow up... I thought if I say the most ridiculous stuff ever, the Internet would snap it up.”
One resurfaced clip from his early content had Marlon saying extremely graphic and fairly inappropriate things. Although he didn't refer to the clip directly, he did admit that he had crossed the line in trying to be darkly humorous:
“It’s not okay to joke about, it’s not okay to say these things... And I’m sorry for it, I take full accountability, that was 100% wrong, and I would never do it again.”
Facing fire from fans and family, Marlon responds to everythingHowever, Marlon’s contrition was complicated by his unapologetic attitude in response to other accusations, chiefly that he sent out explicit photos online for money. He confirmed these accusations during his livestream, and maintained the stance of considering these activities within his own personal hustle. "Look at where the f**k I am at right now. And I would do it again tomorrow," he said defiantly, claiming that he has also been candid about this within his long-term fanbase.
Marlon also argued against the alleged faking of his homelessness experience, which has traditionally constituted his streaming persona. The accuser identified himself as Marlon's brother in a viral video wherein he also contradicted Marlon's own account of events. Marlon, though, merely repeated that he had told that story before.
Internet communities have become split by this genesis of broadcast. Some fans admired his honesty; others were left disappointed by the discordant blend of remorse and bravado he projected.
Whether Marlon can weather the storm remains unclear, but the livestream indicates one thing: He is far from stepping out of the public eye just yet.
