Twitch’s live format is a breeding ground for spontaneity, but sometimes things can easily get out of hand. A couple of Russian women recently found this out first hand, thanks to someone literally breaking and entering into their house in an entirely different type of raid.
During one of her recent broadcasts, pole dancer and Counter Strike: Global Offensive player girl__fighter - or simply Victoria - ran into a true nightmare when an intruder seemingly broke into her apartment to confront her and a friend, before proceeding to absolutely tear down her camera setup and cutting the entire broadcast short. In a clip of the incident, the women are seen to be attempting to calm down the situation before the feed is cut.
Although the has now been removed from Twitch, clips of the incident can still be found on Reddit and sites like Streamable, with the former being the better source for understanding exactly what happened. According to most accounts and translations, the person barging into Victoria’s home is presumed to be her neighbor, who threatens the two women saying “I will hurt you”. Victoria's friend answers back saying, “no, I will hurt you, get out of here”, right before things escalate and the intruder is maced - just as he takes down the camera that is recording the altercation.
Luckily, Victoria has been live on Twitch since this happened, so it’s a relief to see that she and her friend managed to recover from the incident. The clip still does show the streamer’s disbelief at what is happening right up to the point where the camera goes off (shown in the image above), although there’s currently no indication any charges were filed against the intruder.
Victoria appears to have gained quite the following on her girl__fighter channel, thanks to her pole dancing skills, and also tapping in Twitch’s recent hot tub meta. While hot tub streamers have not been strangers to controversy, it’s beyond clear no one deserves to have an intruder threaten their safety in their own home over some loud music.
It’s hard to place a Russian neighborly conflict involving a pole dancer or a perpetually muted Snoop Dogg among Twitch’s oddest occurrences, but with a growing gambling scene on Twitch, hot tubs, ASMR, and even farting, there's no shortage of wild stories coming from the platform.
