At the 15-minute mark of her November 7 broadcast, Adriana Chechik revealed that she was experiencing numbness in her right leg as she stated:

"This week, I actually have my first appointment with my neurosurgeon here in LA. Because I do have numbness in my right leg. So, I have numbness in my right leg and then (unrecognizable) have finally stopped!"

The streamer continued the conversation by mentioning YouTube Gaming sensation Herschel "Guy" Beahm IV, aka "Dr DisRespect," speaking about the TwitchCon incident:

"I love Dr DisRespect. I hope he notices me one day. I know he noticed I got hurt because he did say after my accident. He said, 'Man, it sucks to be Twitch right now' after my accident. At least he knows who I am. I know he knows who I am."

Viewers then questioned the streamer, wondering how she didn't notice the improperly set up foam pit at TwitchCon. She provided an analogy and explained:

"Well, let me be honest with you. When you get into a car, you don't think that something in the car could be faulty. When you get into a plane, you don't think that something could be faulty. People go and do stuff everyday. They go to trampoline parks. They go to rock climbing parks. And you're at an event, where you're watching other people do it. I sat there in line, for about 40 minutes, watching other people do it. I recorded them and everybody came out fine."

Adriana Chechik stated that she was unaware of the other two people getting injured at the streamer convention. She asserted that she was a victim and urged the audience not to blame her:

"So, how was I supposed to know that I would be the one to break my back after watching a group of people do the same thing. With no prior knowledge of the two people that got hurt the day before. So, don't blame me, because I am the victim here. Right? I was at an event and the last thing I thought was, 'Hey, this pit was improperly set up.' No! I said, 'Hey, I'm ready to go find my friend, push her off this platform.' So, that's all I thought. I didn't think past it."
