IRL streamer \u201cdisgusted\u201d as random man \u2018grabs\u2019 and harasses her in public A Twitch IRL (in real life) streamer says she was \u201cdisgusted\u201d after a random individual appeared to harass her during a live broadcast, while walking the streets of Japan. IRL streaming is one of the most popular categories of cintent on Twitch, as the random nature of the broadcast can lead to some crazy, unexpected incidents, but equally, some scary moments too. Streamer \u2018EllieGato\u2018 began her adventure on the platform on June 8, hoping to showcase her travels to the world, but was left visibly shocked after experiencing physical harassment while streaming in Tokyo on June 29. While interacting with her Twitch chat, a man appeared to take a peek at her phone screen before seemingly attempting to get under her umbrella, with a smirk on his face. The stranger didn\u2019t stop there, apparently attempting to grab the streamer\u2019s arm on more than one occasion, leaving her shook. \u201cWhat are you doing?!\u201d she shouted. \u201cThe fuck? He just started following me. Oh my god \u2013 I feel so disgusted right now.\u201d The man made little attempt to hide his actions before quickly disappearing out of shot, with the streamer revealing the whole encounter occurred on the doorstep of a local police station. Ellie said: \u201cI was like \u2018What the fuck \u2013 get away\u2019. He walked up and grabbed my arm. I was right in front of the police station. Oh my god.\u201d Despite being clearly stunned by the incident, she quickly put it behind her and continued to broadcast her adventures in the country. The decision to do so highlights her thick skin, something that will definitely be needed should she continue to IRL stream on Twitch, but of course the behavior from the man in question was unacceptable and potentially unlawful, although Ellie doesn\u2019t seem to want to take the situation further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
