What did Shelby Shubble say about ex-boyfriend Wilbur Soot?

Wilbur Soot, one of the biggest Minecraft creators, finds himself facing some serious allegations after ex-girlfriend Shelby disclosed that the streamer (she did not take any name) would bite her.

She said that she initially perceived it as playful, but the action escalated to a concerning extent, resulting in her being covered with bruises. She said:

"He started biting me more and more over a period of time, throughout the whole relationship and accidents of him biting too hard and really hurting me happened more and more frequently."

She continued stating that they even came up with a "safe word" to notify Wilbur when to stop:

"He decided he didn't want to accidentally hurt me, so we were gonna use a safe word, so he could learn where my limit was, where my pain tolerance ended and saying that out loud now, that's not a very sound logic. But at the time I thought he cared about not hurting me but in reality, why are you biting so hard?"

She also alleged that he even bit her in front of his friends, with her discomfort becoming apparent only later when they returned home. She added:

"I asked him to stop again, this time he said this is who he is, he isn't going to change. Those were his words."

Shelby also posted a now-deleted Reddit post on one of the subreddits, anonymously sharing her story and revealing that Wilbur would bite beyond the agreed-upon safe word. Here is the full post:
