Twitch Streamer Sketch Comes Clean as Past OnlyFans Material Goes Viral
22 July 2024
Kaleb Vanderhorst Author Famous Internet personality Sketch, AKA Kyle Cox, unfortunately, had an old Onlyfans leaked over the last month, causing an uproar amongst the community. While Sketch was making some content with the Faze Boys, a YouTuber by the name of Pocketbook outed the star for his past Onlyfans content.
In this content, Sketch was seen interacting with several men, which was a massive shock to the community, as up until that point he had made many comments about women and even got “married” to Faith Ordway.
Furthermore, the actual nature of the content had Sketch dressed as a “femboy,” which is incredibly emasculating and is a complete 180 compared to his normal demeanor.
In response to this, Sketch quickly vacated the Faze house before Faze Banks called him back to give emotional support.
The following day, Sketch finally worked up the courage to stream and clear the air, starting the stream with a quick witty joke, stating, “The elephant in the room, I got a haircut.”
Sketch then went on to say, “I wasn’t planning on doing this today, but I guess so. Let’s start from the top. Open and honest, that was me.” and “I did not have sexual relations with that man! I’m just kidding, I did; possibly.”
It was great to see Sketch continue to keep his head up despite the evidently traumatic experience from two years ago being laid out in the open. He even made several jokes comparing himself to Kim Kardashian, as she managed to turn a leaked s*x tape into a multi-million dollar career.
However, it was by no means all sunshine and rainbows for the internet personality. Sketch voiced how low this whole ordeal had made him feel and even alluded to the fact that he had contemplated taking his own life.
Sketch said, “Plan A, I’ll say it candidly, was probably to eat a.. probably call it quits if it ever came out.”
Luckily for Sketch and his viewers, the Faze Banks helped him a ton and talked him off the edge. Sketch said, ”Some people saved me; shout out banks, shout out my parents. I fucked up, but I changed.”
Not everything needs to be broadcast & farmed, but since yall wana jump to crazy assumptions Sketch told me to post these receipts. All the FaZe boys were with him last night. Sketch was my homie yesterday, he’s my homie today, he’ll be my homie tomorrow. You guys are fkn weirdos pic.twitter.com/rNC3yfo4DF

Since then, Sketch has taken a little bit of a step back in his content – still streaming but cutting back a little bit on his hours. And from his limited streams recently, it’s evident he is still slightly off from his usual self.
It really seems like his community will continue to support him, even if there are some detractors here and there.
Sketch’s Admittance to Past Addiction Issues and Life Changes
Sketch was quite open when it came to his addiction issues and how they influenced him in a negative way. When you are in active addiction, any way you can make a decent amount of money looks amazing.
Nonetheless, Sketch was still able to pull himself out of his dark place to become one of the largest streamers in the world. And on many occasions, he has dedicated his success to God, pushing that through the Lord, his life changed.
For example, when he was on Theo Vonn’s podcast a couple of months ago, he said, “Last year I had a prayer, where I was like, I want to be happy, I want to travel, I want to meet people, and God answered me like crazy.”
At the time of the statement, many fans were puzzled as to what his past struggles had been, but now we evidently know. Whether or not you agree with his religious stance, it’s fantastic that he’s been able to kick addiction and become so successful.
Divide in the Attitude Towards the LGBT Community in the Streaming Space
In recent years, there has been a rift growing in the streaming community – mainly between more progressive viewers and conservatives. Many streamers like Nickmercs, Jynxzi, or Sneako have created a community that isn’t the most accepting of the LGBT, especially compared to the hyper-queerness of several years past.
Platforms like Kick and Twitch have become almost battlegrounds for harassment and prejudice on both sides. Streamers may use homophobic slurs, mock LGBTQ+ identities, or platform guests with extreme anti-LGBT views, while LGBT streamers literally call for the death of right-wing personalities.
Long gone are the days of “safe space” chats; instead, you’re more likely to be called a slur than ever. And streamers are encouraging this on every level, for better or worse. Just take a look at NickMercs – the guy was temporarily banned from Twitch for saying “tranny,” and instead of apologizing, he doubled down and called it a mental health disorder.
Banned for using the word “Tranny” on Twitch. Apparently that’s a derogatory term. That’s on me. Next time I’ll use mental health disorder. https://t.co/LAIcmD0dCB

The manosphere seems to be in full force in the streaming game, especially with the rise of right-leaning beliefs among young North American men. Long gone are the days when most of the internet’s hate stayed in 4Chan and League of Legends lobbies.
This has made it all the more difficult for Sketch to put his past behind him, as many of his viewers are those, right-leaning young men. He interacts with the sports community, and they have little to no love for the LGBT.
However, Sketch stating that he has turned his life to God likely gave him a ton of points with the community, as in Christiani, there is almost nothing that is unforgivable.
He’s even managed to pop up in a number of those “alt-right” edits on TikTok and reels; becoming almost a poster boy for denying homosexuality.
