Youtuber CoryxKenshin accused of being a toxic ex by TikToker PandaNinjaXx: Controversy explained with screenshot drama & sleep joke clip
The internet is in chaos and the gamer streets are on fire. Why? Because CoryxKenshin, yes, the beloved, spooky-game YouTube king, has been dragged into a full-blown TikTok drama. And this time, it is not about a missed upload. Wait… CoryxKenshin is being cancelled? Here's the tea you missed On July 13th, 2025, TikToker @PandaNinjaXxofficial dropped a bombshell with a cryptic post following the viral 'Bacon Avocado' trend. The message? She claimed she once dated CoryxKenshin and that their relationship was anything but sunshine and Minecraft. 'He hurt me really bad, and I am not the only one,' she wrote, and just like that, everyone's eyebrows were raised. A slideshow series, emotional claims, and that one screenshot What started with a vague video quickly turned into a saga. In three back-to-back slideshow posts, @PandaNinjaXxofficial unpacked her side of their 2018 romance, painting Cory as emotionally distant, mentally manipulative, and generally toxic. Oh man She claimed he kept the entire relationship a secret, ghosted her post-breakup after getting spotted with someone new, and worst of all, allegedly made a wildly insensitive comment when she told him about her cancer diagnosis. One of the screenshots showed Cory supposedly replying, 'That was the most passive-aggressive cancer reveal ever.' Brutal if true. Another screen grab featured Cory reportedly saying, 'Bcos I'm trying to f*** your life up some more,' only to follow it up with 'that was a joke geez.' Fans were… not laughing. She also alleged that Cory had mutual friends watch her Instagram Stories after the breakup, and claimed she later found other women who'd gone through similar treatment. CORYXKENSHIN DID NOT SA NAMI. AND SHE IS AVOIDING POSTING A CLARIFICATION VIDEO #CoryIsInnocent #coryxkenshin That video clip? It went viral and made everything worse If the screenshots weren't enough to shake the fandom, it was the video clip that sent things nuclear. @PandaNinjaXxofficial posted an old video where she and Cory are seen walking together. In the clip, Cory can be heard joking, 'I actually did something to you while you were asleep too,' to which both of them laughed. TikTok went into instant overdrive. Some users interpreted the comment as dark and disturbing, sparking a wave of speculation that something physical had happened. Clarifications, livestreams, and a plot twist in the screenshots Fast forward to July 14th. In response to the outrage, @PandaNinjaXxofficial went live with another creator and cleared the air, stating that Cory never physically harmed her. Her goal, she said, was never to falsely accuse him, but to call out the emotional harm and lack of closure. Yo, listen the fuck up—those CoryxKenshin allegations are pure, BULLSHIT, and I'm about to go fuckin' ballistic tearing this garbage apart! Some TikTok clout-chasing wannabe, @pandaninjaxxofficial, tried to smear my boy Cory with a flimsy-ass video and some janky screenshots. Still, the drama did not end there. Users on X (formerly Twitter) began questioning the authenticity of her screenshots. A post surfaced suggesting that some of the messages may have been fabricated with help from a third party. Screenshots of someone allegedly admitting to helping her doctor the messages made their way across TikTok and X, further clouding the situation. The internet's verdict? Divided as usual As with all internet drama, the takes were fast and furious. Some were heartbroken, others were furious, and a whole lot of people were farming the controversy for likes and memes. From users joking about 'finally never watching Cory again' to creators dissecting each message, the internet turned this real-life heartbreak into full-blown performance art. And then there were the neutral peeps, the ones who said, 'Yes, he may have been a trash boyfriend, but that does not mean we start tossing serious allegations based on iffy screenshots.' So… what now for CoryxKenshin? As of mid-July 2025, Cory has not made a public statement, and the internet continues its endless dissection of PandaNinjaXx's videos. Whether this saga ends in apologies or fades into the digital abyss, one thing's for sure: this was not the comeback CoryxKenshin had in mind.

Smriti Irani Returned To Kyuki Set 2 Days After Giving Birth: 'If You Ask Any Woman Today...'
Last Updated: Smriti Irani also emphasised how the show was ahead of its time in tackling women-centric issues like pay parity and work conditions. As the buzz builds for the new season of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Smriti Irani is reflecting on the show that changed Indian television forever and her own life. The actress-turned-politician recently recalled the extent of her dedication to the show, revealing that she resumed work just two days after delivering her baby. In a recent interview with HT City, Smriti Irani shared how the daily soap, which aired for eight years, was more than just a job—it was a passion project. 'If you ask any woman today to show up to work two days after giving birth, they would think 'You are out of your mind'," Smriti said. Producer Ektaa Kapoor, who is also gearing up for the reboot, remembered that exact moment. 'She is the only, I think, who came on the set, two days after the baby, because she knew that the telecast had to be met with and Kyunki couldn't happen without her," she said. Irani also emphasised how the show was ahead of its time in tackling women-centric issues like pay parity and work conditions. 'It didn't matter what my gender was. What mattered for her production company is what do you deliver as an actor," she said, adding, 'What is the hallmark of your talent? You will get paid accordingly." During the initial run of Kyunki, Smriti had two children. She recalled how the team even calculated the distance between the set and hospital to ensure her safety. 'We actually measured the distance of the set and the hospital to see how quickly can we drive," she shared. Despite being one of the highest-rated shows on Indian TV, Irani revealed that TRPs weren't her focus. 'For us it was 'Oh what has she written' and what can you convey on screen. That was the whole ambition, desire and something that drove all of us together." The much-anticipated new season of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi is set to premiere on June 29 at 10:30 PM.
