Who is Ironmouse? Puerto Rican VTuber's VShojo exit, charity claims and why everyone is talking about her
Ironmouse's VShojo controversy
In July 2025, Ironmouse left VShojo, a VTuber agency she helped found. She later revealed she was owed a significant amount of money and that VShojo failed to send over $500,000 in donations raised for the Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF).
In a YouTube video, Ironmouse expressed frustration, saying she couldn't share full details due to legal reasons. However, she promised to speak freely once she could. Her claims sparked widespread discussion, especially since she trusted VShojo to handle funds from her record-breaking subathons, where she raised millions for charity alongside streamer CDawgVA.
Why her face is still a mystery
Ironmouse has always kept her real face and name private, a rare thing even among VTubers. For her, privacy is also about protecting her health. Her audience knows her only through her character and voice, but this hasn't stopped her from becoming a Twitch sensation.

She holds the record for being the most subscribed female streamer, even briefly surpassing Kai Cenat during a 2024 subathon. Alongside streaming, she's raised awareness for CVID, earned awards like the Plasma Hero Award, and even released music, including her 2024 song Carry On to support IDF campaigns.
More VTubers leave VShojo
Ironmouse's departure wasn't the only one this year. Multiple VTubers exited VShojo, raising questions about the agency's management. Names like Matara Kan, GEEGA, and Zentreya, one of VShojo's founders, also left.
To my community I love you all dearly and thank you. 💔
While most didn't speak openly against the agency, Zentreya hinted at deeper, unsolved problems within VShojo. The timing of these exits has led fans to suspect internal conflicts and financial mishandling may have pushed creators away.
Who is Ironmouse and why is she famous?
Ironmouse is a Puerto Rican VTuber who started streaming in 2017. She lives with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), a condition that keeps her indoors on oxygen support. Her health struggles led her to the virtual world, where she could perform and connect while staying safe.

She first dreamed of becoming an opera singer, but her illness made her choose a new creative path. Inspired by early VTuber icons, she created her vibrant demon girl character with pink and purple hair. Over time, she gained 2.3 million followers on Twitch and became one of the most watched female streamers on the platform.
What's next for Ironmouse?
Despite the controversy, Ironmouse remains determined. She announced that all earnings from her latest video will go to the IDF, showing her continued commitment to the cause. She also teased plans for a charity stream later this month.
Fans are eagerly waiting to hear more from her side, hoping she'll soon be free to share everything she knows about what happened behind VShojo's doors.

Archana Puran Singh's son Aaryamann fixes a virtual date with girlfriend Yogita Bihani, father Parmeet Sethi crashes it: ‘Kya zamana aagaya hai'
Actor Archana Puran Singh's son Aaryamann recently started a 30-day vlog challenge on his newly launched YouTube channel. In one of the vlogs, he revealed he is dating Vikram Vedha actress Yogita Bihani. Upon hitting the 100k subscribers mark just 23 days after starting his channel, Aaryamann created a special video. While he gathered his entire family to thank his viewers for subscribing to his channel and helping him achieve this milestone ahead of the release of his song, he expressed that he missed his girlfriend. In the vlog, he said, 'I am feeling a little sad because Yogita is not here. We will try to fix that. I have a virtual date planned with her after this.' The term 'virtual date' sounded odd to his father Parmeet Sethi, who quickly reacted, 'Yeh kuch nayi cheez suni maine abhi (This is something new).' A shy Aaryamann replied to his father, 'Keep up with the times dad.' Expressing his love for his son, Parmeet Sethi shared, 'Arey mera beta set hogaya guys, mai toh bada khush hu (My son has been settled, I am extremely happy).' Later, Parmeet crashed Aaryamann's virtual date and asked, 'What is this? Yeh kya ho raha hai? (What's happening)?' An annoyed Aaryamann said, 'My date has been crashed guys.' He then explains to his father, 'Yeh humara virtual date chal raha hai papa (This is our virtual date, Papa). Thank you for interrupting but we were just talking about you.' A seemingly confused Parmeet said, 'This is virtual date? Yeh kya zamana aagaya hai? (What has this generation come to?)' He then told his son, 'You should have met her in person. What do you even mean by virtual date?' ALSO READ | Kriti Sanon's skincare brand achieved Rs 400 crore in two years: 'Targeting at Rs 1,200 crore next' With Parmeet still around, Yogita said, 'Mere ghar mein bhi noodles bane hai (They have made noodles even at our place).' This surprised Parmeet, who said, 'Kya baat hai, itni tuning abhi se hi? Iski aaj tak toh humarein sath tuning ho nahi paa rahi. (Wow! You guys share a great tuning already. He still struggles to adjust with us.) We ask him to eat veggies, and he says, 'I need paneer'.' After Aaryamann shooed his dad away, he spoke about how Parmeet and Archana reacted to Yogita entering his life, 'Everybody were very sweet. They all loved Yogita. They already knew her as an actress. Mumma would often say, 'She is such nice actress. She does such great work. She is very hard working.' When I told her I am dating her, she was like, 'Tere sath hai woh? She is with you)'?' Archana was quite shocked. Yogita shared her side of the story, and said, 'When I told my mom about Aaryamann, she was like, 'Is he the same guy you messed with your hair in his music video?'' She even revealed that her father has recently subscribed to Aaryamann's YouTube channel and addresses him as Aary Ji. She shared, 'Papa told me, 'Dharmendra jaise vibe hai iss ladke ki thodi. Dharmendra jaise lagte hai yeh. If he does a little workout, he will start to look like Dharmendra.' I was like 'Yeah, Papa.' She added, 'At my place, people address Aary as Aary Ji.' A shy Aaryamann then ended his vlog by saying, 'I think our date ka time is up now because your brother would want his room back. And I respect that. Please don't occupy his room.' Yogita laughed and said, 'Mera pura khandaan pagal ho chuka hai (My entire family has gone crazy).'

Viewers split as Aamir Khan takes Sitaare Zameen Par to YouTube instead of OTT
Every time takes a professional call, it tends to split the crowd – fans, followers, and critics alike. His latest controversy? The YouTube release of Sitaare Zameen Par. At the time of its release, Aamir had stated his film would not be released on any OTT/digital platform. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now His stand was widely appreciated as it seemed to prioritise the larger interests of a struggling industry and audiences over his role as producer and actor. With the film doing well in multiplexes, he was felicitated for his seemingly charitable move. Cut to a press conference on July 30, Aamir announced that Sitaare Zameen Par would be released on YouTube under a pay-per-view model for just `100 and had apparently turned down a `100-crore offer from a streaming platform for the digital rights of his film. This decision has divided netizens and stakeholders on the ground. Some are accusing Aamir of misleading the audience and disrupting the industry's conventional release model: theatrical release first, followed by OTT for home viewing. Others are defending him, claiming YouTube is the original – and still the largest – OTT platform, and that offering the film as a paid title post-theatrical run is a bold, innovative step rather than a betrayal. Hansal Mehta in fact has lauded his approach, as it gives him greater 'creative control'. A timeline of Aamir's stance on OTT release March 9: Speaking against the prevailing OTT-first mentality, Aamir had said, 'We're telling our consumers that you can come and consume our product (film). If you don't, we'll bring it to you in eight weeks (through OTT platforms ), when it will be free of cost as you've already paid for it (through subscription). Tired of too many ads? go ad free now I don't know how to sell a product twice. Earlier, I used to watch movies because I had no option. Now, it's dependent on a fancy for films. So we've killed our own business model.' June 19: Multiplex Association of India (MAI) praised Aamir. 'Aamir Khan has always been a filmmaker who puts the audience first. His decision to bring Sitaare Zameen Par exclusively to cinemas is a significant show of confidence in theatres and the shared magic of the moviegoing experience. Indian exhibitors thank Aamir Khan for standing by theatres,' said Kamal Gianchandani, President of MAI. July 3: In response to his felicitation by theatre owners, Aamir told ANI,'Since I haven't sold the OTT rights and our film is not releasing on OTT, isliye shayad All India Theatre Owners have decided to felicitate me for the step that I have taken. I am happy that they thought about it.' July 30: Aamir apologised for the YouTube release at the press conference. For bypassing OTT giants, he said, 'When I release a film after 8 weeks on a subscription model, people aren't buying my film. They're only subscribing to the OTT platform. It wouldn't matter if a person wants to watch the film or doesn't after subscribing to the platform. It has always been my dream to reach every Indian at a reasonable price so they can afford it,' he added. On his YouTube strategy, he told PTI, 'This is my private cinema chain. Think of it like Aamir Khan Productions has opened a new cinema chain, which is in everyone's house and in everyone's pocket... And that is why I am doing this. I got good offers from OTT channels. But I don't want those ₹100–125 crore from OTT channels. I want to earn ₹100 from my audience. I prefer that more.'
