What are the allegations in opposition to Ellum? Captain Puffy’s accusations explored

Popular Minecraft persona Caroline “Captain Puffy,” also referred to as “Cara,” has accused Twitch streamer Josh “Ellum” of emotional torment, manipulation, and intentional monetary and profession exploitation. On December 16, 2025, Captain Puffy took to X to share a six-page Google Document to handle her previous relationship with Ellum.

The doc was titled “An overdue explanation & moving forward,” wherein Captain Puffy addressed her breakup with Ellum which, in keeping with her, was “brought back constantly” on platforms similar to Reddit, X, and TikTok.

Explaining why she determined to talk up about her relationship with the Briton, Captain Puffy stated:

“I am sharing this now because what happened has been reduced online to “just cheating.” It was not. It was emotional manipulation, financial and career exploitation, and behavior that was intentional and later admitted to.”

Captain Puffy alleges Ellum “used her” for content material

On the second web page of the doc, Captain Puffy claimed that Ellum made their relationship public, regardless of her telling him not to take action.

While claiming that her mom discovered of her relationship with Ellum by a YouTube Shorts video, Captain Puffy alleged that the Twitch streamer “used her” for content material with out her permission:

“Around that same time, he made our relationship public online despite me asking him not to. My own mother found out we were dating from a YouTube Short. I then explicitly asked him not to make us moving in together public either, and he did it anyway. Every tiktok , YT Short and video now became focused on his girlfriend being CaptainPuffy. He’d use me for YT videos without even asking me. I’d be mid-streaming myself and then suddenly, his camera man would knock on the door saying that I’m filming a video for Josh, so I’d have to end my own stream. His entire YT channel almost became a couple’s channel, and I received nothing for it. It became clear very early on that my boundaries mattered less than views which slowly ate away at me. All of these videos are still on his channel now at the current time of writing this.”

Furthermore, Captain Puffy claimed that she bore all bills throughout her time within the UK whereas dwelling with Ellum, including that he “intentionally took advantage of her generosity”:

“We lived in a very expensive apartment that I covered almost entirely. I did all of the shopping, cooking, cleaning, and took care of the house, our dog, and every responsibility that came with running a home. The only bill he consistently paid was the water bill. Nearly every dinner or outing, he would slide the check across the table to me or joke about using my debit card so it looked like he paid. Even my birthday dinners came with complaints where he had to pay for me and our friends.”

“He also intentionally took advantage of my generosity. He told me his ex never gave him gifts, which made me feel bad knowing my love language is gift giving and acts of service. He would purposely mention expensive things he wanted in front of me, knowing I would feel compelled to get them for him.”

Captain Puffy says Ellum’s “behavior with other women slowly wore her down”

On the third web page of the doc, Captain Puffy alleged that Ellum’s “behavior with other women slowly wore her down.”

Claiming that he “secretly messaged” his ex-partner and “regularly DM’d women he effectively did not know,” which “always” included streamers “significantly smaller than him,” Captain Puffy stated:

“His behavior with other women slowly wore me down. He secretly messaged his ex and regularly DM’d women he effectively did not know, almost always streamers significantly smaller than him. He would follow them on social media, reply to Instagram stories, and then message them daily with flirty and playful conversations and never in front of me. When I brought it up, he claimed they were just friends or that my behavior was “controlling” reminding him of his ex. I have never been uncomfortable with partners having female friends, especially given how many Josh publicly had, but random women he had never interacted with, messaging daily despite me saying it made me uncomfortable and crossed a line. He continued anyway stating that “I’d never break up with him”. At one point, he even said that if he cheated on me, at least he would get clout from it.”

Captain Puffy claims the way in which Ellum handled their pet canine was “heartbreaking”

On the fifth web page, Captain Puffy described Ellum’s remedy of their pet canine, Pudding, as “heartbreaking.” According to the 27-year-old, Ellum would “often lock” the pet canine out of his room whereas streaming.

She elaborated:

“I also need to say this clearly. The way he treated our dog Pudding, was heartbreaking. When I flew back to New York to visit my mom, he would not let her out of her crate until around 5pm because that was when he woke up since he stayed up late to play with LA creators. He would not walk her, did not clean up her messes, rarely played with her, and often locked her out of his room while streaming. He did not pay for her food, grooming, or vet bills.When I flew back to London with my mom there was dog poo all over the backyard. Although he’s admitted publicly that she is my dog and that I was the one who mainly took care of her, she is still currently an emote in his stream.”

Captain Puffy says Ellum engaged in “emotional torment, manipulation, and intentional financial and career exploitation” throughout their relationship

On the doc’s remaining web page, Captain Puffy said that she “had not fully come back to content or felt like herself” following her relationship with Ellum.

She then accused the content material creator of “not just cheating,” but additionally of “emotional torment, manipulation, and intentional financial and career exploitation” all through their relationship:

“I stayed silent because this relationship did not just hurt, it derailed me. I have not fully come back to content or felt like myself since. Something I loved for the better part of a decade became tied to trauma. I did not want my career to be defined by him, but his actions left a mark anyway. This was not just cheating. It was emotional torment, manipulation, and intentional financial and career exploitation until there was nothing left for him to benefit. Despite this being incredibly long, this is only a fraction of what I endured in my relationship with Josh. I am sharing this now because staying quiet has not helped me heal. I want to be able to move forward with my life and career and finally put this all behind me.”

As of this writing, Ellum has not responded to Captain Puffy’s allegations.
