Ava "florescent" Eugene is a professional Valorant esports player, a two-time Game Changers champion, and 2024 MVP. In May, Ava was at the center of a major scandal: she was accused of sexual assault and abusive behavior by several individuals, including former teammates. The scandal sparked widespread discussion in the esports community and prompted an official investigation by Riot Games.

Initial Accusations

On May 17, a post by Marceline "karie" Carson appeared on platform X, detailing an incident of sexual assault by florescent against her friend, known by the pseudonym Brick. According to karie, the events occurred on January 3, 2024, when Brick, despite verbal refusals and resistance, was sexually assaulted. The account describes a moment when Brick repeatedly said "no," felt physical pain, and asked to stop, but Ava ignored her words. Brick emphasizes that she did not give consent and eventually gave in under pressure. More details on the statement can be found in our article.

Florescent's Response

The next day, on May 18, florescent released a statement on her page, completely denying the accusations. She stated that she takes the situation seriously and is already consulting with lawyers to defend her name. Ava emphasized that she cannot disclose all details at the moment but promised to provide updates as soon as possible, urging respect for the privacy of all parties involved.

New Details from Brick

Alongside florescent's statement, karie published a detailed document in which Brick shared her version of events. It claims that the relationship between Brick and florescent lasted from December 2022 to October 2023 and was toxic. Brick describes multiple instances of pressure and manipulation, including sexual harassment. Particular attention is given to the events of January 3, 2024, which she describes as rape. A false pregnancy and emotional blackmail by Ava are also mentioned.

The document includes testimonies from two other women who were in relationships with florescent. They describe similar behavior: psychological pressure, manipulation, coercion into sex, and infidelity. Screenshots of conversations, self-harm confessions, and concerning tweets by Ava are also published. Florescent has not commented on these new allegations, sticking to her previous denial.

Riot Games' Reaction and Investigation Launch

On May 18, Riot Games issued an official statement announcing the start of an internal investigation. The company stressed the seriousness of the accusations and expressed readiness to cooperate with lawyers and investigative authorities. In the document, Riot notes that, unlike the case with sinatraa, the names of those involved will not be disclosed until the investigation is complete. Ava remains under community pressure but maintains silence regarding the new accusations.

New Scandal Figure

On May 20, a new document was published online by a user named ashe. It claims that Ava, while underage, engaged in sexualized communication with him and other adults, initiated inappropriate conversations, and later used this as a tool for accusations. Ashe emphasizes that there were no meetings or exchanges of intimate materials, but Ava allegedly manipulated the context of the conversations. The document also mentions that Ava posted photos of a former girlfriend without consent, raising additional concerns.

The scandal surrounding florescent began with accusations of sexual assault from her former girlfriend Brick, followed by testimonies from other women and users. Ava denied the allegations, but the community continues to actively discuss the situation: Riot Games has launched an investigation, and new documents and accusations keep emerging.
