The clip, which is around two minutes long, spread across social media on August 30 and left the streamer crying before the broadcast ended. Gtwist, a young Kick streamer, has addressed viewers after a disturbing livestream appeared to show his father physically grabbing him during a tense moment on camera. Gtwist later wrote, “Hey guys I’m fine but here’s the video i will try to stream. His response has added another layer to the debate, with viewers questioning what happened during the livestream and whether the footage was genuine or staged.
People questioning whether the Gtwist incident was real
He was broadcasting from a bedroom gaming setup when the incident took place. The original VOD was reportedly removed, while copies of the footage continued to circulate online. The footage has led to two very different reactions. Some viewers believe it shows a real family incident, while others have questioned whether the scene was planned for attention. There is currently no independently verified evidence that proves either explanation. Beyond Gtwist’s own message, other key details about the incident remain unconfirmed.
Because of its rules covering violence and minors, al Bawaba reported that Gtwist’s Kick account appeared to have been banned after the incident and that Kick was investigating the situation.
The streamer appears to have been relatively unknown before the video suddenly drew widespread attention.
