Shortly after Knabenbauer made his announcement on Twitter, O’Ferrall released a series of statements alleging Knabenbauer’s infidelity, along with his soliciting of nude photos from fans on Snapchat and Tumblr. Several fans came forward in the wake of O’Ferrall’s comments with their own stories about Knabenbauer, including some who claimed they were underage when Knabenbauer solicited them for nude photos. Several lewd photos of Knabenbauer also surfaced online after the allegations went public. In the wake of the allegations, Knabenbauer lost over 100,000 YouTube subscribers and his production company Normal Boots announced that they had “mutually parted ways” with him. Kotaku has a detailed write-up of the allegations here.

Knabenbauer participates in Dungeons & Dragons‘ flagship streaming show Dice, Camera, Action along with professional cosplayer and streamer Holly Conrad, who was also named in O’Ferrall’s comments. While Wizards of the Coast declined to provide a statement to ComicBook.com about Knabenbauer, both Knabenbauer and Conrad are no longer mentioned on D&D Live’s event page. Kelly D’Angelo of the popular streaming show Girls, Guts, Glory and Alex Lee from Dragon Friends will be replacing Knabenbauer and Conrad in D&D Live’s Friday game. While Dice, Camera, Action cast members Anna Prosser and Nathan Sharp will both be appearing at D&D Live, they were pulled from a public signing event scheduled for next weekend.

Dice, Camera, Action was slated for a two week hiatus coinciding with D&D Live. Wizards of the Coast has not provided a statement as to whether the show will continue, or if Knabenbauer will continued to be involved with Dungeons & Dragons in the future.
