'I Was a Drunk Dumba**': Mang0 admits fault and promises to apologize over viral Beerio Kart controversy
(Image via X/@C9Mang0)
Smash Bros. legend Mang0 has finally responded to the chaos he caused at Ludwig's Beerio Kart event. In a series of raw and emotional posts on X, the esports star admitted to being "a drunk dumba" and said he plans to privately apologize to the streamers he made uncomfortable.
But is it enough?
Mang0 Admits Fault After Going Viral for All the Wrong Reasons
On June 22, 2025, Joseph 'Mang0' Marquez addressed the storm surrounding his inappropriate behavior at
Beerio Kart
, an event hosted by Ludwig that featured top content creators like Maya Higa, ExtraEmily, and Valkyrae.
After clips of him drunkenly gyrating and making invasive gestures went viral, especially one involving Maya Higa looking visibly disturbed, Mang0 took to X (formerly Twitter) and admitted:
'Hate waking up and seeing i was a drunk dumba**…I will privately apologize to anyone i made uncomfortable and hope im forgiven.'
What Actually Happened?
Mang0, heavily intoxicated at the event, was seen shirtless, making sexually suggestive movements near streamers Maya Higa and ExtraEmily—moments that made many viewers (and the women involved) visibly uncomfortable.
The clips sparked instant backlash, with fans accusing him of crossing serious boundaries, especially with how he behaved around female streamers.
The footage spread fast across Twitch, Reddit's r/LivestreamFail, and X, with thousands weighing in on the behavior many labeled 'gross,' 'predatory,' and 'not excusable—even if drunk.'
'99% of My Problems Come From Drinking'
In a follow-up post, Mang0 went deeper. He said he felt 'very f**king stupid and embarrassed,' and admitted that almost all of his life issues have stemmed from alcohol.
He ended the post by saying he's going to 'reevaluate his relationship with drinking.'
For a community that's seen Mang0 both dominate on the Melee stage
and
spiral at public events, this wasn't exactly surprising—but it
was
sobering.
Ludwig Responds: Mang0 Barred from Future Events
While Mang0 reflects on his actions, Ludwig isn't waiting around. He confirmed that Mang0 won't be invited to future
Mogul Moves
events. The message? Actions have consequences, even for Smash royalty.
That's a big deal. Ludwig and Mang0 go way back, but this move signals just how seriously the community is taking the incident.
Mang0 says he'll apologize privately. He's vowed to reassess his drinking. But whether or not the community or the streamers involved accept that is a different story. For now, the damage is done. And unless Mang0 makes serious changes, his legacy may be remembered as much for this controversy as for his championship wins.

The Oscar-nominated actress, who tied the knot with the NFL star in a dreamy ceremony at San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, turned heads once again, but this time, at a West Hollywood concert, where her husband was notably absent. Hailee Steinfeld goes solo to support her 'Sinners' co-star in style Hailee Steinfeld stepped out to show support for her Sinners co-star, singer Lola Kirke , during Kirke's recent performance at The Troubadour — an iconic venue in LA known for its intimate yet star-studded shows. True to her roots in both fashion and film, Steinfeld was photographed rocking a sleek concert look, complete with exclusive merch from Kirke's new Trailblazer album and, notably, a VIP pass around her neck — a subtle nod to her industry clout and close-knit relationships within the entertainment world. While fans were excited to see Steinfeld out and about, one detail caught many by surprise — there was no sign of Josh Allen. The NFL MVP, who is set to return to Bills training camp on July 23, was noticeably absent from Kirke's social media updates and photos. Whether he stayed back or kept a low profile remains unclear, but Steinfeld's solo appearance didn't go unnoticed by followers of the couple. Despite the solo outing, the newlywed glow hasn't faded. Steinfeld, who shared details of her wedding with fans through her lifestyle newsletter Beau Society, continues to radiate happiness. The wedding, attended by big names like Larry David and featuring a powerful original poem by Amanda Gorman, was nothing short of cinematic. And with Allen recently sharing honeymoon snapshots captioned 'Wifey,' the bond between the two seems stronger than ever — even if they occasionally do things apart.
