Sentinels Valorant star Jay ‘Sinatraa’ Won broke the silence after recent allegations of sexual abuse were made public. Won says he has not abused his ex-partner and is cooperating with all investigations.
Sinatraa was accused of abuse by his ex-girlfriend, Cleo ‘cle0h’ Hernandez, in a nine-page document shared on March 9, detailing his experiences with the OWL 2019 MVP who became Valorant’s star.
She wrote that she “lived in constant fear” during the nine-month relationship, sharing images and audio recordings of alleged sexual abuse.
24 hours later, Sinatraa responded to the accusations in a brief statement.
“It is clear from Cleo’s recent post that she remembers our relationship differently from me. What we agreed on was that it was not healthy for both of us, ”he said.

Sinatraa apologized to Cleo, claiming that “[regrets] how things ended, ”but denied“[assaulting] her anyway. “” I am fully cooperating with the investigations and providing all of the audio and video clips that Cleo mentioned in his post. “
This happens after the Sentinels star was suspended by his team and Riot ahead of this week’s VCT Stage 1 Masters event, in which Won would compete.
Sinatraa was suspended by Sentinels pending an investigation into the allegations.
Cle0h counters Sinatraa’s response
Since then, Cle0h has responded to Sinatraa’s statement, contesting his apology.
“You never apologized to me. For anything, ”she wrote on Twitter. “The least you can do is send me a message in person. But you can’t even do that. “
“Of course, ‘we remember the relationship differently’. One of us was incredibly cruel and the other was scared. “

She added that she believes Sinatraa’s statement is “brilliant”.
“Imagine responding to an emotional abuse charge with ‘we remember things differently’, a key phrase for gas lighting,” she said in a follow-up.

The Overwatch League has also taken steps to change the skin of Sinatraa’s MVP “Alien” on Overwatch, offering refunds to fans.
His former Overwatch squad, the San Francisco Shock, has also distanced itself from Sinatraa since Cleo’s testimony was first published.
