In a tweet in which she stated that she felt “forced” to make a statement, LilyPichu wrote: “Albert and I aren’t together anymore. I didn’t know if I should share it (or) how to share this, and was stressing out about it, but at this point it doesn’t matter. I’m too sick and tired.”
With some criticizing OfflineTV members for tweeting about the break-up, the 27-year-old apologized for her friends, before asking people to not “spread any more hurt to anyone,” and accepted that many will continue to speculate about the end of their relationship.
“I am already heartbroken,” she concluded. “I still love and care about my friends and (Albert) very much.”

Pokimane agreed, saying that she did “not think (her) actions would signal to others that it’s okay to talk about this publicly,” before confirming that she has said sorry to LilyPichu privately.
I'd like to add on & say I completely agree, at the time I did not think my actions would signal to others that it's okay to talk about this publicly, because it's not, and I'm sorry for that. I've apologized to Lily privately, because I want her feelings to be our priority♥️
