Controversy
Sometime in 2019, Ayoubi released a drawing of Captain Grime holding Sasha. Both were blushing, but the drawing was not NSFW material or sexualized in any way. Ayoubi received critical reviews on the drawing for being inappropriate and was being accused of drawing a minor in an inappropriate way. Ayoubi responded to the critics stating that "the age was unknown" during the drawing and that "she thought that Grime was a teenager", which seems believable because the art was created before the release of the episodes and official character descriptions were released. A rumor started that series creator Matt Braly had her fired from the series because of this drawing.

In a tweet on Twitter made by Braly on the 29th of January 2021, he responded to a Twitter user, who responded negatively on a tweet of Ayoubi who shared early character designs of her from characters of the Disney Channel show, The Owl House, and stating that she was fired from Amphibia because of the drawing. He announced that the rumors were untrue and that: 'Hannah was amazing to work with and I would hire her again in a heartbeat' '. This caused some controversy on Twitter and resulted in hate tweets directed to Braly and Ayoubi by angry accounts and some fans of the show. It also led to much support and defense for Braly and Ayoubi and fans of the show disagreeing with each other. Both Ayoubi and Braly did not respond to any of the controversy.
