Calls to arrest Smash caster 'Cinnpie' grow after player who accused her of sexually abusing him attempts suicide
Super Smash Bros commentator and streamer Cinnamon "Cinnipie" Dunson is back on the news. The 28-year-old first made headlines, when she was accused of sexual abuse by Troy "Puppeh" Wells, 24, one of the top Smash Ultimate players in the world. On July 1, Wells tweeted all about his harrowing experience in the hands of Dunson, when he was just 14.
In his post, he explained how in 2016, when he was 14 and Dunson was 24, they carpooled together to attend tournaments. He accused her of allegedly "initiating sexual conversations" and later getting into a "sexual relationship" with him. That summer, a drunk Dunson reportedly pinned him down to the ground and made out with him. He wrote, "That incident probably happened for about 15-20 seconds and then after we just went back and kept playing. I was pretty much just in shock the entire time it was happening. I wasn’t really opposed to it though since I was 14 at the time and I liked her a lot.”
After that incident, the duo began sleeping in the same bed together and kissing. He revealed that their sexual relationship went as far as engaging in oral sex but never led up to sexual intercourse. Aside from sexually abusing him, Dunson has also been accused of emotionally abusing him. Wells explained in his note, "She would consistently gaslight me and make me question myself all the time while I was only 14 and still trying to find myself as a person."
Although Wells received a lot of support and love from his fans after he went public with his allegations against the Smash Bros. commentator, the whole experience clearly took its toll on him. On July 3, Wells tweeted, "Need to stop being a f**king pussy and just kill myself already." He followed the tweet with, "Wish i had an easy way." His tweet left a lot of fans worried, and they began demanding an arrest of Dunson. Soon #ArrestCinnamonDunson began trending on Twitter.
An internet user tweeted, "I just cant get over the age difference... 24 vs 14. We are talking a college graduate vs a f***ing middle schooler.... Hope you dont think this is just going to blow over while you remain in silence when you ruined this kids childhood and early adult life #ArrestCinnamonDunson."
Dunson hasn't commented on the sexual abuse allegations nor Wells' suicide attempt. Her silence has been slammed by many users. A user shared, "@Cinnpie How come you're not speaking up now? SPEAK UP you f***ing hypocrite! #ArrestCinnamonDunson." Another user commented, "#ArrestCinnamonDunson@VBPD this b*tch sexually and manipulated a minor and drove him to suicide. please arrest her." Another user expressed, "This is the kind of sh*t that makes me sick to my stomach. You violated a minor. You scared him for life. You were old enough to know what you were doing. Turn yourself into the police department @Cinnpie. #ArrestCinnamonDunson."
The Smash Conduct Panel has already said it’s monitoring the situation and all other claims being made against other potential abusers.
