Amouranth reveals \u201ccreepy\u201d experiences being followed during IRL streams YouTube: Anthony PadillaAmouranth is one of the most popular women on Twitch \u2014 but even when she\u2019s not broadcasting, she experiences some \u201ccreepy\u201d harassment from strangers in public. The life of an uber-famous influencer can be drastically different from that of the average Joe. Many top-tier social media stars have detailed terrifying incidents of stalking, swatting, and harassment from overzealous fans, trolls, and haters \u2014 even driving some of them away from the internet for months. However, Kaityln \u2018Amouranth\u2019 Siragusa understands that women in particular often experience sexual harassment in their day-to-day lives, regardless if they\u2019re major Twitch stars like her or not. In an interview with Rolling Stone on May 31, Amouranth began the conversation by stating why she decided to make money off of her image. She says that, since she\u2019s going to be placed in a certain light by viewers, anyway, she might as well secure the bag for it. \u201cEven before I started streaming and stuff, guys would sexualize girls just out and about in public, and you aren\u2019t able to do anything about it, really,\u201d she explained. \u201cSo I just felt like, you know what, if guys are gonna do this to you no matter what you do\u2026 you might as well just make the bag.\u201d That\u2019s not all; Siragusa also revealed some outright \u201ccreepy\u201d instances of harassment she\u2019s experienced while streaming IRL from men who didn\u2019t even know she was broadcasting. \u201cI will stream in a Walmart on my channel, and because it\u2019s in selfie mode on my phone, I\u2019ll see guys behind me just taking pictures when I bend over to grab something from a lower shelf,\u201d she added. \u201cThey don\u2019t realize I\u2019m streaming. \u2026it\u2019s really creepy. And they\u2019ll follow me through the store.\u201d (Topic begins at 13:50) This isn\u2019t her first time detailing the downright disturbing behavior she\u2019s dealt with from people; she exposed some eyebrow-raising DMs that she received from users on Twitter earlier this month. Despite the harassment, Amouranth is standing firm in her content, saying: \u201cIt feels like you\u2019re taking the power back, rather than being a victim, because a lot of the time, women are, and they don\u2019t even realize it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
