GTA 5 star Ned Luke defends Rockstar from blame after being swatted live on stream RockstarNed Luke has swiftly shut down any and all accusations attempting to blame Rockstar after the GTA 5 actor was swatted while playing their game live on stream. Swatting has only continued to be a devastating issue in the streaming landscape. For ill-intending viewers who obtain personal details of a given content creator, they\u2019re often seeking to make their lives a living hell. Whether that\u2019s by quite literally defecating on someone\u2019s doorstep or by calling in a fake bomb threat and having a swat team descend on their location, we\u2019ve seen it all over the years. Though given the very real risks associated with swatting, it\u2019s one of the more common acts of malice. IShowSpeed has been swatted multiple times in just the past week alone. On November 23, it was GTA 5 actor Ned Luke who came into the crosshairs, receiving a phone call mid-stream informing him that his property was being swarmed by a swat team. Though the nature of this incident had \u201cnothing\u201d to do with the developers behind the blockbuster franchise, Luke soon clarified. Playing GTA Online with fans watching along live, some quickly \u2018jumped to conclusions,\u2019 as Luke put it shortly after. \u201cRockstar failing to hide people\u2019s IP addresses from modders could\u2019ve resulted in one of the lead actors for GTA getting shot and killed,\u201d one Twitter user claimed. \u201cRockstar should have solved this problem years ago.\u201d Not about to let the accusations slide, Luke swiftly jumped into the conversation and assured the swatting incident wasn\u2019t related to him playing GTA Online. \u201cY\u2019all jumping to some large a** conclusions,\u201d he replied. \u201cThis had nothing to do with Rockstar. These a**holes leaked my private info years ago and have been doing this sh** since.\u201d Evidently not the first time dealing with such an incident, Luke also replied to a story from another Twitter user claiming to have witnessed a prior dealing with local law enforcement. When allegedly delivering pizza in the area, this individual supposedly noticed a number of cops nearby, all focusing on the address of the GTA 5 actor. However, even after having said pizzas delivered, Luke admitted he \u201cnever paid\u201d the worker amid the chaos of it all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
