Top female Twitch streamer Amouranth stream turns dark as an apparent abusive husband comes to light

Here's a forum post that reads "I'm far too invested in punishing this woman I pretend I barely know anything about, even though I have a little hate-shrine for her in my closet." I couldn't gauge tone clearly but it seemed jealous and squeaky.
Ignoring any attempt at reading tone, she didn't call the cop? But she did a live stream about it?
The responses are strange. Apparently she was on a level 12 hype train when she cut the stream suddenly, which is odd timing because a level 12 is a stupid large amount of money just being thrown at her.
She shouldn't be surprised that someone called the cops, according to the other tweets a bunch of people called wellness checks on her and everything was "fine" according to her staff.
Who knows, but she was making a hell of a payday during that stream apparently.
Well no, in an abusive relationship it's quite often not about money, even if that element can contribute. It's quite often a lot more insidious.
Based on the cases I have seen and read about it's usually a result of very manipulative behavior coming from the abusive partner. First it starts with a honeymoon phase where said partners acts like the ideal partner and than step by step they start becoming abusive. But the art lies in being able to ask for forgiveness and act nice again when necessary, just to go back into the abuse a bit later. It creates an environment where the abused person still believes their partner loves them and that there is a chance for things to improve. Also, quite often the abuser manages to convince their victim they are the problem.
So her being abused in the way she describes is plausible. But i'll agree that doesn't discount the possibility this is a money grabbing scheme.
In the end we'll probably never know for sure.
I'm not familiar with her but I hope she'll be fine. It's no secret that money or fame don't protect you from an abusive relationship. At least she managed to open up about it.
That said, even though she did talk about it in public, I don't feel comfortable prying into the private life of a stranger. It's the sort of thing that even for a public personality, friends and family should assist her with. Or professionals, I suppose.

And just like that it sounds like its over, or in the process of being over. Seems like that was simple enough.
Maybe, maybe not. As Generals explained, pretending to want to change their ways only to repeat the cycle later is a page from the manipulative abuser handbook. Tho as also said, there's no real way of knowing for sure. Unless maybe it gets to court and/or someone gets arrested, which tends to only happen if there was violence, which afaik there wasn't.
Love.
Being in love with a psycho makes people put up with a lot of abuse that they shouldn't. She married the dude so she had to love/loved him. Because you're talking about logic but a relationship isn't logical, it's emotional. But it looks like she's had enough.
The question I had was who is getting abused an manipulated here? Is there legit drama happening in her personal life? Or is she manipulating her audience?
Here's the thing, she has a massive following. How do you grow a audience already massive? Well you create drama that lands outside your sphere of influence because people will always come check in on you to see what's going on, of those people a certain percent will stick around and become new fans.
Either way it's a horrible situation. Either she is being manipulated and abused. Or her audience is by her.
When I asked earlier in this thread, why doesn't she leave since money isn't a factor people told me that it's hard to just walk away sometimes because you feel trapped or whatever by the person controlling you. Yet 24 hours later she was separated just fine according to the tweet above so it couldn't have been that hard for her. Even if you go back to the original post, one of the tweets says that her husband threatened to leave her and take almost all of her money leaving her with only ONE MILLION DOLLARS, and I couldn't help but read it in a Dr. Evil voice.
It sounded fake, that sounds fucking fake. Like oh no, leave my abuser and only have a million dollars to land on my feet, the horror and shame, whatever would i do with only 1 million dollars!? Seriously?
Sorry, why assume that? You don't know what's been happening over the past weeks, months, years. You don't know what led to that decision. You have absolutely no information to gauge accurately how difficult or not it was for her. This could be the culmination of something for all we know. Or even if the decision did end up being easy-- who the fuck cares? That doesn't preclude that abuse was happening.
Look, if there's a plausible case of domestic abuse going on, I don't think it puts anyone in a good light to go speculating shit about the target that we have no way of knowing.
If you don't think people should be paying into a commercial channel while this is going on, sure, counsel caution. That's probably good advice. But don't go speculating about fraud and faked abuse when you honestly have zero personal insight into this person.
If she didn't want people to speculate then she wouldn't have put this out in public on a live stream. Her entire GOAL was to get people talking about this, the reasons are debatable but the outcome is the same.
There would be no speculation if she had come out and said, "Hey I've moved out, I'm separated from my husband due to personal reasons. I'm going to take a small break from online content while I work the rest of this out. See you on the other side." Then okay you sit back and let her personal business be personal and whatever.
But she did this is the most drama fueling way possible. You're right we don't KNOW, we can't know the truth (until it comes out, or if) so all we can do is speculate because she's basically a celebrity who purposefully aired dirty laundry to the public.
What you are saying is basically like tell people not to look at a car wreck on the freeway, people are gonna look and make traffic and that's just how shit is.
