Streamer and former OTK member Russel recently opened up about his experience living with Mizkif and Emiru, offering new insight into how their relationship remained hidden from roommates. During a recent stream, Russel said he and others in the Austin content house initially had no idea the two were dating, revealing that Mizkif and Emiru used a built-in pet door connecting their rooms to visit each other in secret.

Russel explained that the house’s unusual setup helped Mizkif and Emiru keep their relationship private. Both had rooms upstairs that were linked by a pet door, allowing them to move between spaces without being seen. “We didn’t even know they were together,” Russel said, noting that the mansion’s size and separate studio layouts meant roommates could go weeks without seeing each other.
He recalled that Mizkif and Emiru often used the pet door late at night, avoiding common areas and hallways. Old house tour videos and TikToks show the interior pet doors still in place, including one near Mizkif’s stream setup and another connecting directly to Emiru’s room. Russel emphasized that while he never saw abuse or direct conflict between them, their relationship dynamics only became clear much later.

When Russel eventually learned more about the relationship, he said conflicting stories from both sides left him unsure what to believe. Mizkif denied certain behaviors that Emiru later backed with evidence, according to Russel. Still, he maintained that it wasn’t his place to intervene. “Not my relationship, not my responsibility,” he said, explaining that after the 2022 CrazySlick controversy, he stepped away from house drama entirely.
Russel described the mansion as more of a shared work hub than a typical home. Multiple creators, including Simply, lived on opposite sides of the property, each managing their own setups. Emiru herself has said on stream that she sometimes went weeks without seeing the downstairs roommates.
Russel’s comments shed light on how the streamer lifestyle, with sprawling shared houses and independent schedules, can hide personal relationships even among close colleagues. His neutral stance underscores both the physical and emotional distance that often defines these high-profile content collectives.
