On December 13, MissNerdyCurvy shared a clip of WeFoundTheBody’s response to her mentioning that her mother died earlier in the year.
“I know that I’m also in the wrong a little for saying ‘Well, my mom died’ in a stream after being asked where have I been, but the response just isn’t it fam. I made a tweet longer thingy to share a little background but here you go,” she tweeted.
In the clip, the Twitch streamer under fire slams MissNerdyCurvy for her response after asking where she had been.
“MissNerdyCurvy you know what we’re not going to do? We’re not going to talk about it in my chat cause it’s Friday and that is a whole big bucket of bummer,” he said. “I didn’t ask you to tell me the biggest f*ckin bummer news in the world, I said what’s up, how are you?”

He continued: “Let me give you a little bit of a lesson MissNerdyCurvy, when something really really bad is going on in your life and in a public forum, someone asks you ‘Hey Whats up, how are you?’ there are two acceptable responses. Good, and ‘You know what, ill make it through.’ That’s it.”

Twitch community slams WeFoundTheBody’s response
Members of the Twitch community haven’t taken well to his initial response or his apology messages, sharing their thoughts between the various tweets.
“Trauma dumping is absolutely a thing. Is that what you did? It is absolutely not. A short “sorry for your loss, hope things get better” would have been fine. But to single you out and make a bad situation worse? I’m sorry you had to deal with that,” said Twitch star Cohh Carnage.
That is unbelievable.Trauma dumping is absolutely a thing. Is that what you did? It is absolutely not. A short “sorry for your loss, hope things get better” would have been fine. But to single you out and make a bad situation worse? I’m sorry you had to deal with that. 😔
“He asked where she had been and gave him an honest answer. Absolutely not trauma dumping. Appalling behavior from the streamer. Lacking any empathy,” another user said.
A third user replied: “Yeah this apology sucks. What you said was borderline bullying and was DEFINITELY belittling. All because YOU asked where she had been and she gave you an answer that YOU didn’t want. You sound selfish and uncaring for your community and their hardships. Hope you change man.”
With several thousand likes and hundreds of comments across relevant tweets, it’s clear that people aren’t happy with the situation.
