The former partner of Mav, called SilverMistR6 on Twitter has, since the allegations, locked her Twitter account. 

She claims how at a bar while he was still on the FaZe Clan roster, he slammed her against a wall one night after getting drunk. According to reports, some Twitter users backed up her story with media.

The Brazillian coach took to Twitter with a response, hinting there is more to the story: "Guys, I said yes I was wrong to push my ex, you shouldn't push ANYONE, period, but it was not as pictured, but of course I will always be the one cancelled and having to read things as an abuser when I pushed her away, finally good night everyone"

Team Liquid is taking the allegations very seriously and has suspended Mav until such time as their investigation completes.

The organization addressed the statements and incidents which were made public recently while suspending Mav less than 24 hours after the abuse allegations came to light.
