Kick streamer Gtwist became the subject of a viral controversy after livestream footage appeared to show an adult man physically grabbing him during a broadcast on August 30 2026. The roughly two-minute clip spread rapidly on X after the original stream was removed, prompting viewers to debate whether the confrontation was genuine or staged.
The footage shows Gtwist at a bedroom gaming setup before a man enters the room. The man appears to mock Gtwist's voice before grabbing him around the neck and pulling him backwards. Gtwist appears distressed and begins crying before ending the stream. The footage does not establish what happened before or after the confrontation.
