Sketch Says He Contemplated Suicide Over OnlyFans Leak In Emotional Stream: 'I Won’t Do It Again'
After content creator Sketch acknowledged the authenticity of sexually explicit images that leaked online from OnlyFans, he is speaking out about his mental health as a "dark time."
Sketch, who rapidly grew his Twitch following from 33,000 to 1.1 million within a year, confirmed the images depicting him involved with another man.
Speaking to his audience on Twitch on Monday, Sketch expressed how deeply distressing the situation has been, revealing he contemplated suicide if the images were ever exposed.
"I was dealing with some addiction problems. A couple of them. [...] Yeah, that was me. I f****d up. I won't do it again," Sketch shared with his fans. "But on a real note, I've been living with the threat of that coming out for like two years."
"Started social media, just kind of f*****g around, had that in my past. I'll tell you what, weight lifted of my shoulders," he continued. "God is good. All the time."
The 25-year-old described it as a "dark time" in his life, noting tearfully that others had saved him during that difficult period.
"I'll be honest, plan A was, and I'll say it candidly, was probably call it quits if this ever came out, but some people saved me. Shoutout [FaZe] Banks, shoutout my parents, shoutout you all. I f****d up, but I'm changed," Sketch, real name Kylie Cox, said.
"My original plan was... there's two things. One, either be delusional and think it's never going to come out. Or two, what was the plan after? The plan after was not very good. If I was alone and I was at my house, I probably wouldn't be talking to you right now," he said. "But people like FaZe Banks especially, and my friends that I've made over the past couple of years came and they saved me."
