VShojo has come under renewed scrutiny after VTubers Camila and Veibae shared claims of mismanagement, legal intimidation, and opaque hiring decisions following the agency’s closure on July 24.
Camila alleged that in 2022, she participated in VShojo’s open auditions, making it to the third round before being abruptly dropped with no explanation. She claimed to have later learned that finalists were rejected so the agency could hire someone already known to them.
According to Camila, those candidates were then allegedly offered “hush money” to stay silent about the outcome. “The girls were devastated. Just like the rest of us who got dropped without warning,” she posted on X.
In addition to these claims, Camila said other VShojo members confided in her about unpaid work and a lack of communication from the company for extended periods.
She also linked a cover of Billie Eilish’s “Your Power” in what appeared to be a direct message to former CEO Justin “GunRun” Ignacio.
Separately, Veibae has also spoken out now that her NDA has expired. The former VShojo member stated that in 2023 she was pressured into signing a contract she described as “predatory.”
She claimed the company demanded over half of her sponsor revenue and 60% of merchandise sales. After hiring a lawyer, she was allegedly threatened with legal action and surveillance for any critical comments made in her streams or Discord server.
Veibae further revealed that she was not fully paid for sponsorships after her exit and said VShojo coordinated her departure with another VTuber, Silvervale, to manage public perception.
The agency’s shutdown has triggered a wave of disclosures from current and former talents, raising broader questions about contract practices, transparency, and creator welfare in the VTuber industry.
