Controversial internet personality Daniel "Keemstar" came under fire after calling Twitch streamer Kaitlyn "Amouranth" a scammer following the latter's emotional livestream.

Call of Duty: Warzone shoutcaster and the owner of @ModernWarzone Twitter account, DoughDagnabbit, called out the YouTuber by claiming that Keemstar has to be the "worst human being" to have a platform. His tweet read:


What did Keemstar say following Amouranth's emotional livestream?

In the now-deleted Twitter thread, Keemstar mentioned Kaitlyn revealing to her viewers that she has a husband who has threatened her on different occasions. Keemstar threw shade at the Twitch streamer's audience and said:

"Amouranth told her chat about her husband who has been in control of her bank accounts taking the money also threatening to kill her dogs etc. Guys online been donating her for years without realizing the money was going to her husband."

The Drama Alert host continued the discussion by stating that the Twitch star's husband was "clearly" abusing her. However, the streamer herself has "scammed" many people online by stating that she was "single for years":

"Clearly husband is abusing. She showed the text. But. Amouranth herself has scammed so many guys online, claiming she was single for years. These Twitch streamers don't care about their viewers. They all just use you & your low IQs to fill their pockets."

The three-part Twitter thread concluded with him seemingly dissing the Twitch streamer:

"Also Amouranth for years go praise for being a genius business woman. Base on this new information, the hidden husband behind the scenes was the one making all the business moves. So..."

After receiving significant backlash for the comments he presented, Keemstar took to Twitter once more, stating that he was "just making the point" and that he didn't feel like any content creator should "lie to their fanbase for money":

An hour later, Keemstar deleted the discussion thread and provided a rationale for his decision:
