If you are a fan of Critical Role, please look at this thread from one of Orion Acaba’s exes, who has posted repeatedly about how he abused her during their relationship.

This is not the first time the topic has come up, but she’s – along with his other exes – frequently been dismissed by his fans for not having proof. Well. Here it is, and there’s several more recordings in the thread above. (I asked her permission to repost it here.)

There have been a lot of posts on this site about Orion Acaba’s appalling behavior over the years. This one covers a lot of it. Among other things: He ran a Kickstarter years ago, but kept the money without delivering any rewards. He did a charity drive to support a fan whose father died, without her permission, but then kept that money as well, and sicced his fans on her when she spoke up about it. He’s routinely created sockpuppet accounts to harass and smear the reputations of people who speak out against him. All of these are terrible.

But, IMO, the worst is that several of his exes have spoken up about the abuse they endured while they were with him. And they get very little support. Meanwhile, he continues to harass them and anyone who does support them.

Here is another one, and she frequently posts screencaps of him harassing her Twitch channel under sock accounts. Most disgusting of all, he recently made a post supporting Chloe Dykstra speaking out about her abuser, while tacking on “It’s unfortunate and sad that there are some women who lie and do it for the attention.” (I can’t link to the tweet bc his account is now private.)

Please reblog this, and please cease giving this man fame and support. If you’re one of the people who dropped dudes like Nick Robinson and Chris Hardwick for their behavior, you owe it to the women Orion abused to do the same for them. He cannot keep thinking he can get away with this because his fans believe him over them, or handwave how he treats women and go, “But I like Tiberius!!”

I’m just gonna chime in and say that the above video is very loud and very angry- so unless you’re prepared to listen a lot of anger being yelled, maybe don’t click play.
