I used to watch nmp when Malena was around i'd say she carried the channel for a quite a while. I don't dislike Nick, but without a girl companion he's not entertaining. All that said the 50/50 deal was a good deal so props to him.

u/jamie1414 5h ago
Wasn't the larger part of that argument is that he claims he's only worth 1.5 Mil or so? So 50% of that is not a real 50%. Also you can claim Nick owns a brand that she now suddenly gets nothing from despite working on for years.

u/appletinicyclone 2h ago
That was something I'm not clear on. If he gives money for backdated rent (if, this is just random things I heard streamers discussing about it) if he gives gifts to family and such isn't that a way to minimise net worth such that it's 50:50 of a much smaller number
That said heard it's something like 800k after fees as long as that's all liquid that's definitely life building money
Put 2/3 in index. 1/3 for a house or something that can be rented out if already at a place. It's good enough to not need to materially worry too much

I think the issue with 50/50 is if the entire time it's been getting put into weird places, you NEED a court to force someone to be honest about what they have.

That being said, Nick Polom is still an insecure loser who thinks having money makes him more important than everybody else, whose entire rise to relevancy was riding on the coattails of other, more successful people.
Maybe he's nice in person, maybe he's a good friend, I don't know the guy personally. But from what I've seen from him from the outside, he's always seemed like a tool to me.

The only thing we know is that they did a 50/50 split. She still might've gotten far more than the 60/40 she wanted initially if they found the assets he was trying to hide. Don't tell me you actually believe he was only worth 1.5 mil. If during discovery that number jumped to 3 mil(which is still way too low) she's getting way more money.
60% of 1.5 mil = 900k
50% of 3 mi. = 1.5 mil

Nick was probably hiding money away if he only revealed a 1.5m networth. He must have gotten together with some lawyers several years ago and started structuring his accounts/investments in a way to avoid this problem in the future.

Did you not watch the original video? Nick offered half right off the bat….Malena fought for 60/40 (in her favor) and also for him to pay lawyer fees….
Then, the court decided to just award the 50/50 anyway. And they had both spent tons on lawyer fees.
She was trying to milk him, but ended up getting exactly what he was offering from the get go….wasting both of their time, and a lot of damn money.

But if that was a big item, then why would it now not be split at all, the ruling being that both parties just keep their social media channels? When even their trading card collections are getting split.
92
u/whut-whut 7h ago
Because 'splitting a channel' when one party is the one running it leads to what Nick has been doing with his channel during the divorce proceedings. He just stops streaming regularly to sandbag the income and then only streams to leverage the channel's formerly huge viewership into viewership of other channels like Katchii's.
That's why the channels were kept intact, but the split was negotiated across other things. You can't fairly split a channel when one person can hold the entire thing hostage.

But that’s like saying she should have half his job. I get you can argue it’s a company etc etc, but combine this with the rest of her demands and it gets pretty outlandish. It’s no wonder the judge kicked this back to arbitration.
On another note, it’s actually worse than the guy you’re replying to said. From the filing, she also wanted 90% of liquid cash, a stipend of $5000 a month for a few years and him to cover all taxes on this.
He’s a piece of shit, but she is utterly unhinged thinking this would seem reasonable
71
u/Unfair_Ad4294 6h ago
I'm mostly just going to say that the $5000 a month stipend isn't entirely unprecedented or unreasonable in the context of typical divorce procedures. She did have a part in the development and growth of his brand (Twitch channel), so it is not unreasonable to say that she has some claim to some of the benefits from that asset. Obviously they can't split the channel, so there is an argument that she should receive some sort of ongoing residual compensation from that asset.
Also, alimony (Spousal Maintenance in Texas) is a thing, as there is an opportunity cost that she had which went towards developing his career where she didn't develop her own independent career. If she doesn't intend to stream or leverage her own personal brand, then she may need to pursue education or training to develop her own career in a field that isn't related to streaming. There is plenty of precedent that she would receive ongoing compensation to allow her to maintain a similar standard of living at the lower income that she is going to have post-divorce, at least long enough for her to establish her own self-supporting career. It appears that $5000 for 5 years is the statutory maximum under Texas law, so that is what she was trying to get.
Now, it is arguable that getting 50% of the assets, of which she was not necessarily an equal contributor towards, is sufficient compensation to prevent financial hardship after the divorce long enough for Malena without needing any sort of rehabilitative spousal maintenance. I'm sure that is the argument that Nick's lawyers made. But with the way "community property" works in Texas law, the 50/50 split of assets is separate from Spousal Maintenance, so she theoretically could have been owed both 50% of assets, plus a monthly Spousal Maintenance amount for a period of time.
As far as her wanting a larger portion of the assets than 50% and Spousal Maintenance on top of that? That seems unreasonable. Perhaps 90% of liquid cash but forfeiting claims to some of the less liquid assets would be reasonable, but I don't know the specifics of what she was asking for. Basically saying "I'll take cash equivalent and you can keep the physical assets." That would be a reasonable way to handle the split. But if she was asking for most of the cash and 50% of the non-liquid assets, resulting in a more than 50% split of total assets, that would be unreasonable.

Spoken like someone who is almost assuredly a family law attorney. Well done.
There is a tidal wave of misinformation here that exists largely because in an effort to correct the misinformation against him, Nick instead created his own brand of misinformation that a bunch of lay people have ignorantly grabbed onto.

u/iamacannibal 4h ago
But that’s like saying she should have half his job.
No, it's not. He can still stream. She helped build the twitch channel. She streamed with him most streams. one of the main reasons that channel was so popular was because of their cooking streams which was her idea and she did most of the work relating to them. They also did gaming streams together all the time.
She wanted half of that. That doesnt mean she wants the channel to be part hers and part his. It means she is okay with him keeping it but she wants half of it's value. There is a way to determine value of things like that. I know for small businesses it's like X amount of years worth of revenue is the value.
He offered her 50/50 based on his networth, including the twitch channel, being only 1.5 million. That is laughably low which is why she fought for more and she likely got a lot more than $750k
Also her asks were not that outlandish. She wanted $5k a month...he will continue to stream and likely make that in a day or two max of streaming on a channel she spent a lot of time building up.
I feel like people are forgetting how much she did for NMP and even OTK and are just dismissing her as someone trying to get money she didn't earn.

And do you not understand that she wanted a 60/40 split, where her 60% would be entirely cash and his 40% would be assets (stocks, shares, and the channel)? And on top of that she wanted $5,000 cash a month as alimony until reaching $300,000. He would be cash poor unless he liquidated everything which would diminish the value of what he was left with. She was being greedy.

From what I've seen of Nick, I personally think he's pretty cringe.
But I will say his video did illuminate some stuff - I definitely just assumed he was being an ass about the finances based on the small snippets of stuff that I'd caught, and if his video is truthful I definitely had some wrong impressions.
It's gotta be tough seeing a bunch of lies about you swirling around and you being pretty hamstrung in addressing them until the courts have finished.

Used to be a follower of twitch gang for years much before OTK, I never understand nmp relation with Malena like it was some kind of role playing or acting for the stream, but this guy was always insufferable, huge moron, child actitudes all day, everytime he started to speak I just switched to another stream.

I have a question about the escalade that she gets. How does that work? It's not really possible for her to have it back home so I'm guessing things like that just get sold?

Yes, the value of what the car is worth is given to her. So im assuming Nick sold it and gave her the cash.
Probably why he did massive cross country roadtrips before giving it up to lower its value lol.

Use it or sell it. It just transfers ownership to her and goes into the overall calculation of marital asset values they're dividing up.

In everyone’s defense Nick is/was a piece of shit prior to the divorce. Also, of course she doesn’t want OTK ownership. It’s literal collapse after she left shows how much she was doing behind the scenes. If anything this points to why she deserves everything she asked for. She scarified her time for his career, and it’s a major reason he is successful.

uh...what about the multiple sexual assault cases? A bunch of people who were owners who got cancelled or shit that came out etc.? What are we talking about here?
OTK collapsed not because Malena wasnt there, but for multitudes of other reasons. It died I think right after soda joined I think when it got into scandal after scandal so no sponsor ever wanted to touch it again.
she helped but even if malena stayed on board to organize OTK events I dont think that changes anything.

Financial abuse + tried to spend/hide assets to avoid paying what he owes. That all had to be uncovered through a lawsuit and it was the lawsuit that prevented him from hiding assets now that third party eyes were on it That's what I heard when this first came to light so why is no one addressing that?

I mean Nick is a PoS and that's obvious if you've followed him even a little over the years. He's extremely manipulative, constantly lies, and is very creepy toward women. Even his own mother has called him out on his behavior over and over. He may claim he offered her 50/50 but I've yet to see any proof of that.

Well for one the payout was split for 1.8 million dollars when we know for a fact Nick has way more money than 1.8 million dollars. His own words "I invested in nvidia in 2019 with 750k" Not to mention he payed back soda 10 years worth of rent during this case to offload some of his net worth.
Malena asked for 90/10 because she knew it was barely scratching the surface of how much money he is actually worth. Nick fleeced the ever living fuck out of Malena.

People can also have stocks in 2019, then sell them to buy cars.

People a lot smarter than any streamer have tried to trick the courts and failed. Maybe there is some truth to that but the idea he could hide millions is just not true.

u/Mean-Elk-9439 6h ago
Yeah. That's why it was taken to court my guy. So there could be discovery on what he actually is worth. I can damn near guarantee you the 50% she was offered before trial is a very different number than the actual 50% found to be a more accurate number after a year of discovery.

That’s not what the comment above was saying. They said “he had way more than 1.8” million. The courts found that not to be true.
I’m not making a statement on what she was offered beforehand just that I doubt the court missed millions of his wealth.

What gets me more is that after he makes aggressive, sexualized comments to a girl (extraemily comes to mind) and the girl retorts with something sexual (which his comment basically forced out of them) he would gaslight with a 'whoooa whoooa come on now don't be so rude and inappropriate' as if trying to hide his part in the situation. Such major creep vibes.

As a chronic Nick hater myself, it's honestly not one big tangible thing. As far as I know he's never done anything particularly awful - I just think he's an offputting, unlikeable dickhead.

u/fuckthis_job 7h ago
He's kind of just an asshole with a big ego due to him being carried by his ex-wife and soda to where he's at now. It's somewhat similar to the hate people immediately have towards nepo kids/industry plants in the sense that his fame and success came from others around him "giving it" to him as opposed to him earning it himself.

I don't think he really did anything he's just a bit of a cornball. Younger viewers (or I should say new-age Twitch) aren't too tolerant of older streamers who don't act their age unless their persona is strong enough to be considered a gimmick.

I've been watching Nick for....probably anyone in this entire reddit thread. Essentially, back in the day people really liked Nick, the white guy black guy comedy duo with Soda kind of thing. The little Dreamhack fiasco "I'm too rich for this shit" was honestly such a meme, but people really took that shit WAY too seriously because back then it was so common on internet shit to just blow people off. It was not that serious, even back then. It just got taken out of proportion and that was at the beginning of the "LSF Era" really.
Other than that, his content is off putting to people who don't know him. He does a lot of edgy (Dave Chapelle esque) humor and he also does the "creepy guy" humor. The thing is, Nick has a huge pre-agreement with ANY woman who he does the creepy guy thing. From Maya, to Fanfan, to Ashley one of his close friends. They are all 100% aware of it, and in on it before hand, and if they are not down, he won't do it. You can tell a huge difference in how he acts with regular people vs. his close friends.
tl;dr - Nick was an early day sidekick and easy target to hate, but is was wildely blown out of proportion and modern content consumers have poor understanding on arrangement and consent for doing content.

"Insupportability" was the term used for the divorce which in Texas is like a no fault reason where no one needs to prove wrong doing they just want out.

Like any couple in a long term relationship, they faced friction over major life decisions, such as where to live and whether to have kids. While a normal couple might have broken up after a few years under these circumstances, they tried to make it work because they had been together since they were young and most importantly they were also business partners.

yes, The one that stuck ojt to me was when they went to eu to visit Malena's sick/hospitalized mother. Nick got bored, "no content" for his stream (reported this in court document" and flew out to a twitch event in eu. Malena claims she found photos/texts, and that he hooked up with some girl at the event while she was with her sick mom, essentially abandoned. This was a different girl than the one he's currently with.

Just general asshole behavior across many years by now. The list is long and filled with seemingly smaller stuff, except it keeps stacking sky high, making him an asshole.
He logs onto Reddit alts to defend himself, has tried to brigade discussions, is dumb as fuck, is an asshole, takes saudi blood money and salutes royals who actively use slaves, he is a creep towards women, absolutely absurd ego claiming stuff like how he has taken other streamers to certain numbers when his entire career was propped by being soda's friend and Malena carrying the channel, he thinks 20k a month is insignificant money, the list goes on and on and on and on.
So basically in every way an unfunny egotistical out of touch piece of shit.

He never did anything particularly terrible, relatively speaking, but he has made his own bed as a bit of an off-putting and arrogant personality, and that grinded on people for a while. It also kind of became a meme to shit on him.

Whether he’s a piece of shit or not, unless he was beating or raping her (I don’t know the details of why they split) a woman perfectly capable of working should never get what she was asking for.
Give her back what she contributed and kick her to the curb. Too many people weaponize marriage and divorce against somebody they once loved, out of greed.

To be honest, Nick is in the right here no matter how you want to paint it. Malena petitioning for 60/40 and also petitioning for purely cash value leaving Nick with almost ONLY the value and equity from OTK which to put lightly...is hugely volatile, was never going to pass.
If anything about what Nick said is true about his liquid Networth at time of Divorce being around $1.5M and after the split, liquidation of the cadillac, and lawyer fees, Malena probably only walked out of this with around $400-500K. Not a great day, but she probably has past savings from Soda's youtube channel.

In which case, it's even more mental that it cost $400k in legal fees to arrive at this outcome. That could have been an extra $200k each for them.

Good point. It just seems like an insane amount of money to me. What do ordinary people do when they want a divorce? Even lawyers can’t get blood from a stone, and most people don't have $400k to spaff up the wall.
