Who is rileycs_? Battlefield 6 'catgirl' banned on Twitch after cheating allegations go viral on X
Twitch's gaming community has been buzzing this week after popular VTuber streamer rileycs_, known for her animated 'catgirl' persona, was abruptly banned from the platform. The move came just days after clips of her lightning-fast gameplay in the
Battlefield 6
open beta went viral, sparking heated debates over whether her skills were legitimate or the result of cheating.
Rileycs_'s viral Battlefield 6 open beta clip that started it all
On August 9, 2025, rileycs_ shared a short gameplay video on X (formerly Twitter) featuring her dominating the Battlefield 6 open beta.
Wearing her signature anime-style catgirl avatar overlay, she landed a series of flick shots and near-instant kills that seemed almost superhuman.
The 30-second clip exploded in popularity — surpassing 40 million views in just days — but not all the attention was positive. Some viewers praised her skill, while others claimed the accuracy looked 'too perfect' to be legitimate.
Within hours, online threads and gaming subreddits were debating whether rileycs_ was simply a sharpshooting prodigy or running illicit software.
Rileycs_ goes live to 'prove' her innocence
Facing a growing wave of doubt, rileycs_ went live on Twitch on August 10 in an attempt to silence critics.
This time, she not only streamed
Battlefield 6
gameplay but also included a live camera feed of her hands on the mouse and keyboard, which is a common way for pro players to prove they aren't using cheats.

The hand-cam session drew thousands of concurrent viewers, many curious to see whether her mechanical precision could be replicated under direct observation.
Twitch bans Rileycs_'s account
That's when the unexpected happened — Twitch abruptly suspended her account.
Attempts to visit her channel were met with a message stating it was
'temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch's Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.'
The exact reason wasn't mentioned, and fans started speculating if it was due to her alleged 'cheating' Battlefield 6 clip.
One-day suspension confirmed by the streamer
On August 11, rileycs_ responded directly to fans under one of her X posts, revealing that the ban was temporary.
'Good news for you, im getting unbanned later today!'
she wrote, confirming it was only a one-day suspension.
The message confirmed that the punishment was brief, reportedly a one-day ban, but the incident had already amplified her profile far beyond her usual audience.
Community split but curious
The Battlefield 6 and Twitch communities remain split. Supporters argue that Riley's gameplay is simply the product of raw talent, honed over years of FPS experience.
Critics insist the footage looks too clean to be legitimate, pointing to 'unnatural' aim patterns as evidence. However, what happens next is still to be seen.

Kangana Ranaut who is known for her always calling spade a spade has now shared her insights on live-in relationships amidst the ongoing debate on this concept. It all began as Disha Patani 's sister Khushboo Patani reacted to Aniruddhacharaya Maharaj's viral clip. In this video, he said, "Ladke laate hain 25 saal ki ladkiyon ko, jo 4-5 jagah mooh maar ke aati hain," as he spoke about live-in relationships these days. Khushboo expressed anger towards his choice of words, thus questioning him why his remark targeted only women in live-in relationships and not men who choose the same before getting married. Amidst this ongoing discussion and debate, Kangana Ranaut has opened up on this and revealed why marriages are important. "Court says now that live-in relationships are as good as marriage. Court yehi kehta hai ke agar aap mahila ke saath sambandh rakhte hai toh aapko usko as wife samajhna padega. Yeh saare kanoon woman-friendly hi toh hai." She added, "Aaj kal log live-in relationships ke baare mein baat karte hai. But I feel marriages are very important in our society, and it is the promise that a man makes to stay loyal to his wife. I have been in relationships, and I have seen other people who indulge in such things, but I can assure you that these are not women-friendly things." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Indonesia: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search Ads Search Now Undo The actress cryptically addressed Khushboo's reaction on Aniruddhacharaya Maharaj and said, "Aap santon ko gaaliyan de rahe hai, it's a cancel culture. But like an elder sister I want to say, that live-in is not a woman friendly concept." She also said, "Who's going to help you get an abortion? If you get pregnant tomorrow during a live-in relationship, who is going to take care of you? Men are hunters who can impregnate any woman and run away.

Kangana explained further, "People say men are from Mars, Women are from Venus and we can be modern. But scientifically, there have been surveys. Men were asked about the list of things they would admire about women as a girlfriend and as a wife. They had different lists. But women has the same list for boyfriend and husband."

Travis Hunter divorce row: Why fans think Jaguars star's wife is unhappy and why its not true
Rumors about the Jacksonville Jaguars star, Travis Hunter, and his wife, Leanna, have spread on social media. Fans are speculating that the latter is 'unhappy' and is filing for divorce. However, none of this is true. In fact, the couple has added a new member to their family, a pet dog. Rumors about Travis Hunter and Leanna Lee spread on social media(Instagram) The Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver, who was the No 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, married Leanna in May. The two had announced their engagement last year. "You make me the happiest woman on this planet and I am so excited to spend forever with you," Leanna wrote on Instagram back then. Travis Hunter divorce rumors Several fans on social media posted about Leanna wanting a divorce from Travis. However, she herself has not spoken about anything. The rumors are simply untrue. 'Travis Hunter's wife of less than a year has filed for divorce — reportedly seeking $40M. The rookie WR is set to make just over that amount on his entire rookie contract, meaning the split could wipe out nearly all his NFL earnings before his first full season,' a person claimed on X, platform formerly known as Twitter. What fuelled the divorce rumors Days ago, Leanna Lee posted a video on TikTok in which she was seen crying. The clip went viral. "If they break the marriage within a year he can file annulment and it's like the marriage never happened. File annulment now king," one person wrote on X. "Divorce lawyers waiting…," another person wrote. Why was Leanna Lee crying? The video was from December. In the video, Hunter's wife could be seen standing in a bathroom with her wet hair wrapped in a towel. She reposted the video recently. "I wish I could go back and hug December me, because oh baby, God was about to change your heart in the most important and beautiful way," she wrote. "I don't even recognize the girl anymore." "The amount you can grown and develop in just 6 months of devoting your life to Jesus and getting away from the shackles of the world and social media is truly astounding. I wish the peace I found within Jesus on everyone who reads this," she added. "Your identity in him matters, not how people choose to perceive you."
