Turner Ellis Tenney (born January 2, 1998),[1][2] better known by his online alias Tfue, is an American Twitch streamer, YouTuber, professional gamer and internet personality.
Career
Tfue transitioned to Fortnite Battle Royale as it was quickly exploding in popularity. Tenney later joined FaZe Clan, a professional esports organization, on April 30, 2018.[7]
Controversies
In May, 2018 Tenney was banned from Twitch for 30 days after saying an alleged racial slur. Twitch reversed the ban after reviewing the word wasn't used in a racial manner.[7][8]
On July 2, 2018 Tenney received a permanent account ban on his Epic Games accounts because he was selling and buying Epic Games accounts, which is prohibited by Epic Games' terms and conditions.[9] A week later, Tenney was banned from Twitch again, this time for 14 days, for unknown reasons.[7]
On May 20, 2019, Tenney filed a lawsuit against FaZe Clan, claiming they "pressured Tenney to live in one of its homes in Los Angeles, pressured him to underage drinking and illegally gambling. FaZe also continuously pressured and encouraged him to engage in dangerous stunts." Tenney also claimed, that "he only got 20% from of any branded videos that are published on Twitch, YouTube or social media and half of his revenue from touring and appearances."[10] FaZe Clan responded on Twitter, saying they didn't take any money from his tournament winnings, Twitch and YouTube revenue and his social media. They also said that they "took $60,000 from his branded videos" and offered Tenney "an improved contract multiple times, with 100% of the money going to Tenney, but he rejected or ignored all of them."[11]
On August 1, 2019, FaZe Clan filed a federal lawsuit in New York suing Tenney, claiming Tenney violated his contract by disparaging the company and trying to form a rival e-sports organization. The organization also claims that Tenney directly leaked confidential information about his contract to media publications, violating their terms.[12]
