In March 2023, Tyson shocked everyone by posting on Twitter that she and her wife had been living apart for a year. She also let everyone know that she had started hormone replacement therapy and that she would be using she/her pronouns. Plus, she had changed her name a bit earlier that year. All these changes were definitely too much for the fans to absorb.

Tyson’s ‘grooming’ allegation

Recent allegations have emerged suggesting that Tyson sent inappropriate messages to a fan when she was 20 and the fan was just 13. These claims have been denied by the now 20-year-old fan, Lava. Even though both sides are really pushing back against these claims, Tyson got a lot of hate online stemming from unverified accusations of grooming and a string of transphobic attacks. So, she decided to quit and apologised for what happened.
