Controversial Ban of Andre "OmGiTzAndre" Howard
Several organizations have decided to exclude Andre “OmGiTzAndre” Howard, a renowned fighting game competitor, from their events. This decision was instigated by a woman from the same community who accused him of rape and assault. She narrated her ordeal after her boyfriend revealed it in a podcast.

Howard's Return to the Scene
Update: On 03/04/24, Howard made a comeback and secured the seventh position in a March 2024 FGC tournament in Florida. This resulted in a strong reaction from the fans.
Howard's Gaming Achievements and Legal Issues
Howard is a familiar face in the fighting game circuit, having reached the finals multiple times in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. However, his reputation is tainted by his guilty plea to credit card fraud and identity theft in 2016.
Allegations Against Howard
During an episode of The On Blast Show, a weekly Twitch podcast, fellow player Joey “Joey D” D’Alessandro made a shocking revelation - "He’s a rapist," referring to Howard. He claimed that Howard had raped his girlfriend.
Community Response to the Allegations
Following the podcast, a number of community members urged tournament organizers to ban Howard from their events. Some complied with the request, but the majority remained silent. The fighting game community's response to serious allegations against their competitors has been inconsistent in the past.
Howard's Denial and The Victim's Account
Howard posted a video on YouTube (which has since been removed) denying the accusations. The woman who accused Howard of raping her shared more details in a now-deleted Facebook post, alleging that Howard had forced himself on her just days before a tournament in December 2015, despite her protests. She further stated that Howard threatened to cancel her flight home and leave her stranded after the assault.
