Twitter/X: DivaJilly / MoonMoonTwitch streamer MoonMoon went viral after he was accused of cheating on his wife with his GTA roleplay partner, DivaJilly. Here’s a breakdown of the entire situation.
On September 25, a former Heroes of the Storm pro named ‘KingCaffeine’ made damning accusations against both his partner, Jillian, and long-time streamer MoonMoon, accusing the two of having an affair together.
The internet exploded with reactions to the news, and MoonMoon was quick to respond to the situation in a Twitch stream shortly thereafter.
Who is MoonMoon?
34-year-old MoonMoon, real name Jesse, is a popular streamer on Twitch who rose to prominence during the early days of Overwatch. He’s also known for roleplaying in Grand Theft Auto online with other streamers and created the well-known character ‘Maximillian Thoroughbred’ on the ‘NoPixel’ server.
He’s been broadcasting for nearly a decade and has gained over one million followers since starting his channel in 2016 — but now, much of the internet is divided due to the claims against him.

DivaJilly, real name Jillian, is also a Twitch streamer and GTA roleplayer who’s known for her character Siobhan. Siobhan is in a relationship with Maximillian Thoroughbred… but it appears that this fictional romance wasn’t limited to the online world.
Jillian’s partner, ex-HOTS pro KingCaffeine, accused Jillian of cheating on him with MoonMoon in a viral tweet. The post included a link to logs of her supposed Discord messages with the streamer, which showed that the two may have met up at TwitchCon San Diego.

MoonMoon & DivaJilly respond to cheating accusations
Caffeine’s post went viral in the streaming space, and it wasn’t long before MoonMoon offered his response to the accusations that same day.
While MoonMoon didn’t deny having a physical relationship with Jilly, he argued that she’d told him she was in an open relationship, saying this arrangement was initiated by Caffeine. He also denied having any contact with her outside of the GTA roleplaying space and claimed he’d been separated from his wife for two months before their apparent tryst at TwitchCon.
“I asked multiple times. I was like, ‘Is that truly the case?’ and she said, ‘Yes,’ so then I believed her,” he explained. “The particulars of their relationship is barely even my concern.”
However, Caffeine has argued otherwise, saying he and Jilly were never in an open relationship.
Jillian privatized her X account after the scandal went viral, but tweeted that she would be addressing the allegations in a stream once she is settled at her mother’s house.
The GTA RPer also revealed that she has “receipts,” suggesting that she’ll be sharing conversations she had with her husband.

On October 4, DivaJilly went live on Twitch to further address the cheating accusations and showcase various screenshots of messages sent between her and KingCaffeine.
One of which involved the GTA RP streamer discussing the couple’s reasons for getting married, in which a Discord screenshot stated he said they married for financial reasons.
“No, I don’t care. We’re married for tax purposes. Tell them the truth,” KingCaffeine allegedly sent in a direct message to her.
Following the stream, KingCaffeine made various posts to his Twitter/X account to respond, revealing more screenshots of messages exchanged between the two and denying the claims.
“We were obviously in love. The ‘I don’t care’ and ‘for taxes’ were about the fact that our family was very religious and would be upset that we didn’t get married in a church,” he responded.
KingCaffeine ended his series of posts by stating: “Imagine taking random out-of-context screenshots to gaslight your fanbase harder than when you pretended to stream Elden Ring. Just own up to your mistakes, apologize for them, and move forward, or you will never grow.”
Both DivaJilly and MoonMoon have come under fire from both fans and other streamers, with the likes of Asmongold, xQc, and even Valkyrae sharing their opinions on the drama.
“Never again do I wanna hear about how you’re ‘too good’ for sponsors, you’re ‘too good’ for anything,” Asmongold said. “You cheated on your f*ckin’ wife and your kid. Welcome to the f*cking champions club. That’s what I think.”
Valkyrae had a similar opinion, saying to Caffeine: “Cheating is the most selfish act and they are cowards for this. I hope you take time to heal and are surrounded by humans that treat you with respect.”
