The streamer “MsDirtyBird” falsely claimed to be suffering from a brain tumour and lung cancer. To the outrage of the community, she now announced she would be hosting the Slips Rocket League Championship.

Rocket League streamer “MsDirtyBird” has returned to creating gaming content after her fake cancer diagnosis went viral.

In her “official” apology video, she explained that she “didn’t realise” the lie was something she “couldn’t get out of. ”

New announcement shocks community

The Rocket League community is far from over the scandal of the female streamer, and already there is a need for further discussion.

Not even a month after her apology video, “MsDirtyBird” announced that she would be hosting the Slips Rocket League Championships.

As a result, she and the tournament organiser were heavily criticised by the community. For example, one Twitter user wrote: “It’s absolutely disgusting to provide and promote a platform to someone who has done vile, horrible and proven fraudulent things. Get it right, and get it right fast if you want to keep me and others as potential viewers.”

Others in the Rocket League community also stated that they would no longer watch due to their presence.

original post 09/21/2021:

Rocket League streamer “MsDirtyBird” has been exposed as a liar. She regularly gave false updates about her health in Twitch chats and in a Discord channel. Rocket League player “SwornRL” posted a TwitLonger with screenshots last Sunday, revealing her fabricated illnesses with the evidence.

The streamer developed a web of lies around a supposed brain tumour and lung cancer disease. Esports organisation N7 also released an official statement following SwornRL’s tweet, announcing that the streamer is no longer part of the organisation.

In a Twitch clip, her sister commented on MsDirtyBird’s remarks. The streamer had not spoken to her family about the serious illnesses or the upcoming surgeries.
