Popular streamer Amouranth questions her future in online content creation following a violent crypto-motivated home invasion, raising concerns about the safety of public figures in the digital age.
The violent attack, which took place at the streamer’s (real name Kaitlyn Siragusa) Houston home on March 2, has left the streamer shaken and uncertain about her career. Responding to a follower’s suggestion on X (formerly Twitter) that she “log off the internet for a while,” Amouranth stated, “Truth be told I don’t know if I’ll ever be back.”
Amouranth Describes Terrifying Crypto Home Invasion on X
In a series of harrowing posts on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, Amouranth described a terrifying home invasion at her Houston residence. The streamer, known for her cosplay and adult content, recounted being pulled from bed by armed intruders demanding cryptocurrency.
“I’m being too robbed at gunpoint,” Amouranth wrote in her initial post, setting off a chain of real-time updates that painted a picture of escalating violence and terror. “I believe I shot one of them they wanted crypto is what they were yelling they pulled me out of bed,” she continued.
Amouranth described being forced to log into her phone while held at gunpoint. “Was at gun point they gave me phone and said log in with gun to my head and I tweeted because calling would be a death sentence,” she explained, highlighting the desperate circumstances that led her to use social media for help. She also posted: “This is not a prank help.”
The streamer detailed being physically assaulted: “They pistol whipped me but I got one I’m bleeding alot but stable going to hospital.” She later elaborated, “They beat me before this video and pistol whipped me the pummeling felt like it would never end and I protected my head by putting my arms up like I Learned how to do in boxing, blood was streaming down my head and my hands where beat brown.” She stated that there were “3 gun men.”
Amouranth Claims Self-Defense Shooting During Crypto Robbery
Amouranth claimed to have shot one of the intruders in self-defense. “He screams ‘I got shot I got shot’ after,” she wrote, adding that there was “A trail of his blood all the way along driveway forensic testing it.” She also mentioned that the intruders “brought duct tape and masks and were armed with handguns.” She stated she couldn’t post images of the crime scene or shell casings, as they were now evidence.
