The streamer returned to content creation on YouTube and made a video titled ‘THE LAWSUIT IS OVER.’ In the video, ZeRo stated that the situation had reached a conclusion.
“All of the allegations made against me have now been fully deleted. This document was removed by the person who created it, Jisu, as part of the legal conclusion.”
