Rumors about Cinnpie sleeping with
Puppeh had existed as early as 2016,
[1] but both Puppeh and Cinnpie denied it at the time.
[2] However, on July 1st, 2020, Puppeh published a tweet confirming the allegations, stating that Cinnpie had manipulated and sexually used him throughout the entire summer of 2016. At the time, Puppeh was 14, while Cinnpie was 24. He also claimed that prior to that incident, Cinnpie (or Cinnamon, as she was known at the time) had initiated sexual conversations with him on Snapchat.
[3] A day after this information came to light, the 2GGaming panel banned Cinnpie from all of their future events, alongside several other community figures accused of sexual misconduct during this time.
[4]. A video compiling Cinnpie's behaviour towards Puppeh during tournaments also surfaced
[5], and
Zephyr made a statement
[6] a day later alleging that Cinnpie took advantage of his kindness and touched his genitals without his consent.
Cinnpie would completely disappear from social media until May 1st, 2021, where she released a statement denying that she had forced anyone to have sexual relations with her, among several other things. In the same Tweet, she posted a statement from a law firm requesting a cease and desist from further defamatory statements against her.

On March 12th, 2022, Cinnpie released another statement
[8], claiming that Zephyr is a predator and expressing confusion as to why he was not cited in Puppeh's statement. Cinnpie alleged that Zephyr would invite her over to his house to get her drunk and sexually harass her when she was too intoxicated to remain conscious. Further into the statement, Cinnpie alleged that Puppeh harassed her online when she was 23, a year prior to the sexual assault allegations. She also accuses Puppeh of abusive behaviour during a tournament, where he would insult her. Puppeh soon released a counterstatement
[9] where he claimed to have never seen Zephyr acting inappropriate with anyone, let alone Cinnpie. He also expressed confusion at Cinnpie citing his toxicity during 2015, as they were not friends at the time and those events occurred prior to the sexual exploitation.
