- A woman named Elizabeth accused her ex-partner Adam Dahlberg of abuse in an open letter Sunday.
- Dahlberg — better known on YouTube as Skydoesminecraft — has over 11 million subscribers.
The claims came in a lengthy Sunday open letter to Dahlberg posted to iCloud from a woman who identified herself as Elizabeth.
Elizabeth, who said she did not share her last name over safety fears for her and her child, started her open letter writing "you abuse, you manipulate and you lie." In the letter, she accused Dahlberg of erratic behavior, trying to control her, and verbally abusing and degrading her, among other things.

Dahlberg, a gaming creator since 2011, identifies as nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns. Elizabeth in the letter referred to them using he/him pronouns, claiming Dahlberg was "homophobic" and "frequently disrespected the LGBTQ+ community."
Elizabeth said in the letter she was "so scared" during her relationship with Dahlberg, writing, "I felt so numb. I wanted to die."
Elizabeth did not respond to Insider's request for comment. Dahlberg likewise did not respond to Insider's request for comment but responded to Keemstar of the YouTube news channel DramaAlert via direct message. When asked if the allegations were true, Dahlberg said it was "a mix."
"I was very very sick mentally at the time, in and out of hospitals and on several new medications that were affecting me," they told DramaAlert.
In an accompanying Twitter thread, Elizabeth shared what appeared to be a copy of a police report about a February 15, 2021, incident that described Dahlberg as "angry," destroying property, and saying "nonsensical things." The responding officer wrote he believed Dahlberg was "a threat to others."
The report said Dahlberg was taken into protective custody.
The Bellevue, Washington, Police Department confirmed to Insider an officer was dispatched to Elizabeth's location at 11:04 a.m. on that date, "where someone was reported to be in a mental health crisis."
"That person was taken into protective custody and transported to the hospital for an evaluation," the spokesperson said. "The case is closed since there was no prosecution desired for property damage and no one was injured."
In her Twitter thread, Elizabeth posted screenshots and screen recordings of what she said were conversations between her and Dahlberg, where they appeared to goad and provoke her. In one voicenote, Dahlberg breathed heavily and told Elizabeth someone was giving them oral sex, adding "I don't respect you."
In other screenshots and recordings shared by Elizabeth, Dahlberg appeared to use the n-word slur and the r-slur.
Elizabeth in her letter said Dahlberg pressured her into having a baby, said they didn't seem to care when she became pregnant, and said they wouldn't provide for the family. She said Dahlberg cheated on her several times.
"You hurt me for too long, and I am tired of feeling afraid of you and what speaking up may bring," Elizabeth wrote. "I had to tell people you weren't abusive, because whenever I said you were, you would harass me and say horrible HORRIBLE things. You were so unkind."
Dahlberg painted the walls with their own blood, was repeatedly racist and homophobic, and had a desire to hurt other people, Elizabeth claimed in the open letter.
