Zentreya and Arielle have publicly disclosed the issues that led to drama between the two, and in doing so have proven some fan speculation about the issues between the two vtubers to be correct.
Ex-VShojo vtuber Zentrey and the Holo Sorceress Arielle were once inseparable, often streaming together and displaying their strong bond of friendship in doing so. This isn’t rare in the vtuber world, but Zentreya is infamous for being private, so her friendship with Arielle was always cherished among the pair’s fans.
In early August, fans began speculating that the two vtubers may have had a falling out, as Arielle wasn’t appearing on Zentreya’s streams and the latter had also unfollowed her streaming friend. Mere days later, Zentreya publicly announced that she would stop associating with Arielle, leading Arielle to talk openly about their issues and the ensuing drama during a stream.
Arielle claims Zentreya has issues with the vtuber hanging out with other streamers while live on stream, and that’s what has led to the drama between the two.
In August, Zentreya publicly announced on her Discord channel that she and Arielle would be parting ways. The message was later deleted, but the damage was already done. Arielle talked about the drama live on stream and claimed Zentreya didn’t like that the vtuber was friendly with other content creators during live broadcasts. While this was apparently the main reason for the friendship breaking off, she hinted at other issues playing a role as well.
The vtuber didn’t give any names for who exactly Zentreya didn’t want Arielle to be friends with. Fans are speculating that Arielle’s recent friendship with Ironmouse may have been the catalyst for the duo’s falling out.
Arielle revealed she was avoiding talking about her issues with Zentreya because she didn’t want to further publicize the continued drama. She even told fans that before Zentreya dropped the Discord messages, the two hadn’t spoken for weeks. Arielle requested that fans stop asking whether the friendship can be revived, as the vtuber said both Zentreya and she had made an effort to reconnect but it had failed.
Vtuber Zentreya offered an apology for what she responding the situation emotionally, and also revealed to her fans that she had been drinking and is in an “emotional headspace.”
Zentreya posted that a friend had told her she was going overboard. The vtuber apologized to her fans for her emotional response, and many fans have expressed their sympathy for Zentreya, who has had a tough year in 2025. Her mother passed away earlier in the year year, she recently found out that she’s adopted, and her agency, VShojo, has shut down. Zen was the unofficial spokesperson for VShojo, and she’s faced the ire of many vtubers and fans alike in the wake of the VShojo scandal.

It’s no secret that Zentreya has had issues with alcohol in the past. She also took a break due to a “severe mental breakdown” in 2021. Memories of that time were brought to bear for many fans because of the new drama between Zentreya and Arielle, and because Zentreya was apparently seen drinking excessively during a recent stream. Viewers are urging Zentreya to take a break and focus on her mental and emotional health rather than potentially burning out. Zentreya also admitted in a follow-up tweet that she wasn’t in a good space mentally but still fely that “Everything is fine.”
