Yes, the AMP member took to his Twitch account to livestream his reaction to the entire controversy. Kai stated that he had not been able to actively respond to all of her inquiries because he was taking legal advice. He also revealed that he had informed the police about the incident:

"As soon as this was brought to my attention, I didn’t go nowhere else but the police. I went to my legal team and I went to the police. I'm not playing. I'm not beating around. This is a serious topic. Let’s go to the police. Let's figure this out. You feel what I'm saying?"
