hi everyone, apologies for the late response. i want to start off by saying that yes the person is me, and i own up to everything 100%. i take responsibility of my actions, and i can say that i took things too far and said things i shouldn't have. firstly i want to apologize for going low and attacking someone's appearance, that is not okay and i shouldn't have done that. so for that i'm sincerely sorry. regarding zcore, none of the other members were involved. they were not aware of the chat and they did not know what i was saying. it was a private server with absolutely no association with zcore. i want to apologize to the girls who have worked so hard these past two years because they don't deserve this from me either. zcore is a beautiful organization, with amazing selfless people behind it who want nothing but to make a difference for those who need it. and i am sorry for ruining such a beautiful experience that so many people had at the event. my actions were mine alone, and i wish things were solely aimed at me because i am the only one responsible for my actions. lastly i want to apologize to everyone that i've dissapointed, as i was a trusted member of this community. i'm sorry for everything, and i understand that you all are angry and disappointed with me and i accept that. everyone has the right to feel the way they do and i take that on fully. no amount of apologies will be enough, and i live with the responsibility of my words and actions. this will be my last post on this account, i will be stepping away. i apologize sincerely and i wish everyone the best in life.

It’s been brought to our attention our previous post wasn’t clear. This was not a ZCORE group. It did not have ZCORE members (just the one volunteer in question). ZCORE was not involved in this directly. Our volunteer did it and we take responsibility for that, as we take it seriously. But it was a private group of friends. We had no involvement and did not know. I hope that helps clear that up. We are sorry for all the unkind words said toward everyone and we will continue to work for the values we believe in and to bring good.

We are disappointed that a private matter we were discussing in good faith has now been presented publicly without the full context of those conversations. First and foremost, we apologise to the person subjected to the comments shown and for the hurt caused. What was said was unacceptable, and we are genuinely sorry that someone who supported ZCORE was spoken about in that way by an individual involved with our organisation. ZCORE does not condone these comments. They do not reflect our values or what we have worked to create. Until this was brought to our attention yesterday, the rest of the ZCORE team had no knowledge of this private group or the comments being made within it. This was not a ZCORE group, these conversations did not take place on ZCORE platforms or on behalf of ZCORE. We cannot reasonably know everything an individual says or does privately outside ZCORE. When Rachele contacted us, we did not dismiss what she raised or shy away from responsibility. We listened, apologised for the hurt caused, took the concerns seriously and said we would address the matter appropriately. We were actively discussing this directly in an attempt to resolve it when this post was published, without warning to us. That context matters. The actions of one individual should not be presented as representative of an entire team who had no knowledge of, or involvement in, those conversations. We also want to address the suggestion that ZCORE becoming an independent project was something only clarified privately. Our position regarding affiliation with Zeudi has not been hidden. From the moment our website went live, ZCORE was described as an independent, community-led, not-for-profit organisation. This was publicly available. Our FAQ clearly states that ZCORE is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to Zeudi Di Palma, her management or associated organisations. ZCORE FAQ: zcoreinternational.com/faq/ When asked about affiliation, whether on Twitch, online or in person in Naples, we have answered openly and consistently. ZCORE grew from connections initially made online, and we will always recognise that history. But ZCORE has developed into something broader: creating opportunities for people to connect, build friendships and generate positive social impact. That has never required anyone to stop supporting Zeudi or anything else they care about. Over the past year, we have worked hard to create spaces centred on connection, friendship and social impact. People have spent months playing games, watching shows, talking and building friendships across countries. In Naples, those connections moved beyond the screen. People came together across three days, friendships became real-world connections, memories were created and money was raised for charitable causes. That happened. It matters. And the behaviour of one individual does not erase the work, intentions or experiences of everyone else involved. We are not above criticism. When something is brought to us that conflicts with our values, we will listen, reflect and act accordingly. That is exactly what we were already doing here. But we also do not condone private information being circulated in a way that implicates an entire group who neither knew about nor participated in those conversations, particularly while we were actively engaging privately to resolve the situation. We are not the enemy. We do not want further division, hostility or online conflict. We want to do good, and we believe our actions over the past year demonstrate that. We will continue to focus on what ZCORE exists to do: bringing people together, creating genuine human connection and using that connection to make a positive social impact. We will address matters that conflict with those values responsibly, but the actions of one individual cannot and should not define the other members of ZCORE or everything we have built together.
