In a post an on her Instagram she talked about the accusation and said: (translated using Google translation)

I appreciate the concern about the news. I am not arrested and I will not be arrested, much less the fugitive as they are spreading. It is a process of a problem in which my ex-husband had and harmed me, in which he has been solving according to the time. As soon as we parted, he took 100% responsibility. I work with my image, I do live broadcasts daily, I am known in my field, I have a physical address. It does not fit in with what is being judged out there…

shAy was a professional Counter-Strike player for 11 years and last played in Keyd Stars CSGO team before retiring from the competitive scene in May 2019. She has also worked with other Brazilian Esports organizations such as Mibr, ProGaming, paiN, Santos Dexterity, and Bootcamp. shAy also had a relationship with Fer, player of MIBR between 2017 and 2019 and is currently the girlfriend of Jean-Paul, goalkeeper of São Paulo.
