But how did the DMs get leaked?
The whole incident goes back to October 6, 2023, when these DMs were deliberately sent during a broadcast. In the stream, Speed played a game where he hopped between various TikTok livestreams searching for a potential match. During this, he came across Anya, known as 'ChopperHatGirl' on the platform.
The connection was immediate, fuelled by their shared anime obsession. Speed called her beautiful and also bonded with her over their love for One Piece. He was even asked out on the spot. However, unfortunately, before they could wrap up their conversation, TikTok banned Speed on account of 'sexual activity and services'.
