Twitch streamer gets caught in act of stealing her own phone, streaming community reacts

Kiaraakitty, a 21-year-old Twitch streamer from Singapore, is one of the most controversial streamers in her country. She was recently allegedly involved in another malfeasance, adding to the numerous controversies surrounding her.

In her most recent in-real-life (IRL) stream at the library, the streamer attempted to deceive her viewers by faking the act of her phone being stolen from a table. Initially, it appeared someone had taken her phone and was trying to make a quick getaway.

However, a few seconds later, she stumbled and dropped her phone, revealing her face, which indicated she was trying to trick her audience into believing that her phone had been stolen when it was her all along.

Following her failed attempt to deceive her viewers, Kiaraakitty promptly ended her stream to avoid further embarrassment. However, her plans backfired when viewers clipped the moment and shared it on the well-known live-streaming subreddit r/LivestreamFail. The clip generated many responses, most highly critical of her dishonest behavior.

One Redditor suggested that the streamer may as well have tried to play it off as a joke:

This is not the first time that Kiarakitty has found herself in quicksand. In 2021, a purported audio recording was released, which contained a confession from the streamer, admitting to deceiving multiple men using tactics similar to those employed in love scams to obtain money from them.

She was also banned for four days earlier this year for depicting NSFW content during a live stream.
