For reference, Amouranth made headlines on October 16 after she received a call from her husband on the livestream. The couple ended up having a distressing conversation, as the husband seemingly started to threaten the streamer on multiple instances.

After the call ended, Kaitlyn disclosed some private direct messages in which the husband called the streamer names and threatened to "dump" her luggage out of the hotel room. Here's an excerpt from their conversation:

"It's like, 'Next time when I say plan, do it. Dumb f**k, do you understand?' Like, what are you talking about? Like, 'F**k this, I'm calling you.' So I just direct him to the stream. I said, 'I can't talk right now, we are getting WiFi,' [Husband's response] 'I don't care. Get the call now. Last chance. I'm about to dump your luggage,' out of your hotel room."

Two days later, on October 18, Amouranth hosted a comeback livestream. She revealed that she has access to her accounts and that she is now seeking emotional and legal counsel.
