The scandal involving Swiss analyst Maniac continues to unfold as a second woman, Daisy, an esports tournament host and interviewer, has accused him of sexual harassment during a post-tournament party. Daisy, who is the fiancée of the well-known British commentator Jacky, claims that Maniac repeatedly made advances toward her in front of her fiancé and other colleagues.
Details of the incident
Daisy shared her story on the X platform , stating that Maniac played with her hands and chased her around the dance floor, despite her protests and attempts to escape. She noted that other girls at the party had also experienced similar harassment from the Swiss analyst, and their stories corroborated her claims.
“It was scary, and many girls expressed the same feelings and told of similar incidents from Maniac that night,” Daisy wrote.
Reaction to Maniac's statement
This statement comes after Maniac issued his own rebuttal to the earlier allegations made by Hannah Marie, a journalist for Esports News UK. In his statement, Maniac said that he did not remember the events as described by Hannah and claimed that he arrived at the party later than stated and that there was mutual flirting between them.
Daisy believes that his statement completely distorts the truth: “Maniac is claiming that there was flirting with Hannah, but that is absolutely not true. There was no consent, and it was violence.”
