Ethos denies scamming, blames his procrastination for the entire issue 'Honestly I just messed up'
(Image via YouTube/Ethos) Streamer Alan Ruan, popularly known as Ethos, recently faced some serious allegations coming from Miratisus. As per the accusation of misconduct, he failed to deliver promised rewards in the fan giveaway. Getting blamed for scamming moderators for hundreds of dollars, Ethos has finally responded, denying malicious intent and blaming his procrastination for this entire mishap. Here is all he said in his statement, including how his fans reacted to it. Ethos takes responsibility owning up to his failure In the detailed public statement, Alan Ruan response, confronting Ethos streamer controversy head-on, offered blunt self-assessment. He said, 'Honestly, I just messed up,' specifically citing his extreme laziness regarding stream-related tasks as the core reason for prolonged delays in the fulfillment of giveaway promises. While explaining why there were 3 winners and only 2 photo cards, he stated that the photo cards sat with his friends for months while he neglected to handle them. When the card was finally sent to Miratisus, a winner, it got returned by mail; Ethos admitted he failed to resend it promptly despite getting notified by him. He stated, 'that's completely my fault for being lazy.' He then vehemently denied any kind of malicious intent behind it, saying, "This wasn't some scheme - it was just me being irresponsible and procrastinating." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Indonesia: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo As proof that he was not lying, he added pictures of the photo cards and said, "here's proof that i still have both photos including mira's still in her envelope (someone please just take them from me they are so embarrassing for me to have in my house).' Ethos has now offered complete refunds to all affected winners, taking responsibility. As he said, the winners, for their gifted subscription costs that happened during relevant periods of June and July 2024, will be refunded the entire amount. Ethos fans react with criticism, shock, and support over his explanation The community response to the admission of Ethos to initial Miratisus allegations has been sharply divided. There are many who expressed profound anger and disappointment. While others appreciated him stepping up and taking accountability. One comment even dismissed the entire thing, saying, another Val drama. An X user on the post commented, "Honestly, it really shouldn't take a whole year to realize you were being lazy," criticizing his lack of priority given to the community that supports him. "As a streamer, pls prioritize your community," adding further. Some even mocked the entire situation while questioning the value of the giveaway. The comment read, "All this over a signed ethos Polaroid 😭😭😭" A user even joked about the timeline of this entire event. The comment read, "Bro took an entire pregnancy's length to go to the post office." Some fans even expressed their concerns for the well-being of Ethos, suggesting depression or burnout might be the factors for this mishap. Others, though, commended streamer accountability, adding, "thank you for holding yourself accountable regarding this ,, many wouldn't." Ethos, despite his statement, faces the challenge of regaining the trust back, and it's clearly visible in the divided fans' comments and their reactions. For now, while he has requested his supporters not to harass Miratisus, he still remains in hot water without the oversight of when this entire issue will be cleared. What sparked the allegation against Ethos? The entire controversy stems from the accusations made by Miratisus, the former moderator. She has alleged that Ethos failed to deliver her and other winners, promised photo cards, which were a part of giveaways held in June and July 2024. As per Miratisus claims, she spent €207 (approx. $242) on the gifted subscriptions in order to become July 2024's top gifter. She even confirmed directly from Ethos if she would be receiving the card. Despite the repeated follow-ups over many months, as per her claims, the card didn't arrive. It happened, even when Ethos stated in a Stream that he attempted to mail it in April 2025. It was further alleged by Miratisus that when Ethos mentioned that the package got returned to him, she paid him for the re-shipping but still received nothing. Quite crucially, Miratisus asserted that "Not one of the winners from either month received a single thing," estimating the entire value of the gift made by top winners to exceed a thousand dollars. Her core accusation stated that Ethos scammed her and his other mods for more than a thousand dollars. Ethos, though, denied the characterization and attributed it solely to his admitted procrastination. What's next for Ethos? While it might seem that refund offers Ethos a free pass, but whether it will mend his reputation fully remains uncertain. This entire situation serves as a cautionary tale for the content creators about the importance of timely follow-throughs, quite especially when a fan contribution remains involved. For now, the ball remains in Ethos's court to prove that it was just a one-time lapse in his judgment and not a pattern of neglect. With the dust settling after this fan giveaway scamming, the streaming community would be watching very closely to see how he would rebuild the lost fans' trust after Ethos photo cards issue.

The late singer appeared in the series trailer for Building the Band, where he took on the role of a guest judge. The star, best known for being one of the five former members of One Direction, died in October, aged 31, after falling from a third floor balcony at a hotel in Argentina. A post-mortem examination report said Payne died of multiple traumas and "internal and external haemorrhage" after falling from a balcony of the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires. Prior to his death he had filmed for the new competition series which has been described as a "music experiment" as 50 singers must form a band without seeing or meeting one another. Listening to each performance through individual booths, only six bands will make it out where they will then meet their fellow bandmates and faced with the obstacle of managing personalities, choreographies and style ahead of the live performances. Article continues below Payne appeared in the trailer as a guest judge alongside Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland, host AJ McClean, and mentor Nicole Scherzinger. In the trailer, he is seen giving feedback to the contestants and says: "I need to feel that connection between you guys." Payne was formed into One Direction in 2010, alongside Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Harry Styles, after they individually auditioned for The X Factor. They became one of the biggest pop groups in the world, with five albums and four world tours, until they went on indefinite hiatus in 2016. Payne went on to launch his solo career and released his debut solo album LP1 in December 2019. The album included the songs Polaroid with Lennon Stella and Jonas Blue, Strip That Down featuring Quavo, as well as the track For You with Rita Ora.
