On July 2nd, 2020, amidst | On July 2nd, 2020, amidst a wave of sexual harassment allegations in the community, artist Jisu posted a tweet where she called out ZeRo for showing her hentai and explicit Craigslist ads when she was 15<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/JisuArtist/status/1278843558401675264|title=Jisu's statement}}</ref>. ZeRo later responded, admitting that he looked at hentai but denied that he had shown it to her, nor would he show it to an entire room of people. He also denied showing her the ads<ref>{{cite web|url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQJpUoVhxCgh9_75K8WAYN56d5yvxINwy3c3fPFCMkoEnThJs4qSIk0GY0T8AJ0T_ySDGxhrixCs0ng/pub|title=ZeRo's response to Jisu}}</ref>. Following this defense, many people started to target Jisu for "clout-chasing", causing several players such as {{Sm|Leffen}} and {{Sm|iBDW}} to post TwitLongers in Jisu's defense<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sra894|title=Leffen's first statement}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sra8tg|title=iBDW's statement}}</ref>. Leffen also told his experience with ZeRo and how he would show people hentai in public, a statement that was backed up by a screenshot from an anonymous user later sent to Leffen<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sra9ee?new_post=true|title=https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sra9ee?new_post=true}}</ref>. Finally, {{Sm|Lima}} would also come out with his own statement accusing ZeRo for twisting the situation<ref>{{cite web|url=https://old.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/hknomp/lima_put_out_a_post_regarding_zero_and_was/|title=Lima's statement}}</ref>. | ||
Around the same time, another user, Katie, came out with her own statement where she accused ZeRo for having sexually harassing her when she was 14 and ZeRo was 19<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sra87v|title=Katie's statement}}</ref>. ZeRo would make a response to that accusation on July 3rd, stating that, at that time, he didn't know Katie was 14, and when she told him he cut off contact with her immediately. However, later evidence came forward to reveal that this statement by ZeRo was a lie. He then addressed the hentai accusations and his awkwardness in handling the situation, stating that it was due to a rough childhood filled with abuse and bullying, and mentioning that he was permanently banning himself from the ''Smash'' scene<ref>{{cite web|url=https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/e/2PACX-1vSdd514HCH6Wtb1epx2rbeOK-ME0UXKsBDQK6hbI-faWhg_kQY-QJR9BgpNSEmeSqhN9JnIBuQW6gUk/pub|title=ZeRo's second statement}}</ref>. Many people, however, pointed out that ZeRo failed to address the most explicit accusation. Eventually, on July 4th, ZeRo made a final TwitLonger confirming Katie's accusations, including the explicit accusation, as well as an experience he had with another underage girl<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sraama|title=ZeRo's final statement}}</ref>. | Around the same time, another user, Katie, came out with her own statement where she accused ZeRo for having sexually harassing her when she was 14 and ZeRo was 19<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sra87v|title=Katie's statement}}</ref>.
