OnlyFans model Amouranth says she opened fire on robbers who broke into her house and pistol-whipped her â possibly wounding one and sending them fleeing.
âI believe I shot one of them ⌠Iâm covered in blood but only some of it is mine,â she posted on X â along with dramatic video and details of the attack.
The popular webcam model and streamer â real name Kaitlyn Siragusa, 31 â said three masked men pulled her out of bed and held her hostage on Sunday, demanding access to her crypto accounts.
The attack came after she previously posted a screenshot showing she had more than $20 million worth of Bitcoin and other crypto.
Amouranth â who has 6.2 million followers on the streaming platform Twitch â shared a clip that shows the moment she and her husband turned the tables on her attackers.
The footage shows three men following Amouranth into a building. Two gunshots can be heard â and then the robbers are seen running.
She said the robbers kicked in her bedroom door, demanded she give them her cryptocurrency and then struck her in the face with a pistol.
âThey beat me ⌠and pistol whipped me the pummeling felt like it would never end,â she wrote later on X.
âThey gave me a phone and said log in with a gun to my head and I tweeted because calling would be a death sentence,â she added.
She managed to use her phone to post âIâm being too robbed at gunpointâ to her X account, then she led the assailants into a building where her husband â who had seen her online S.O.S. â was waiting with a pistol, NBC 2 reported.
At least one of those shots was fired by the influencer herself, she said â and she tagged Staccato, the maker of the high-end handgun she apparently used.
Amouranth did not explain how she acquired a weapon but said she believes she hit one of the attackers because there was a trail of blood left on her property.
The Houston Police Officerâs Union confirmed her harrowing account in its X account, adding that she was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Investigators are still searching for the suspects, NBC 2 reported.
The would-be robbers may have learned of her digital fortune when she posted a screenshot of her Bitcoin and Ethereum balances last November, asking her followers what she should do with her more than $20 million in crypto.
âHelp! Do I sell or hold my BTC?â she wrote, along with a pic of herself posing in a bikini.
After the break-in, she dropped the subscription fee for her OnlyFans account for 30 days, with the note: âI already got robbed⌠might as well let you back in for free.â
