Twitch and OnlyFans star Amouranth announces she's 'taking a break' after going public with allegations of abuse against her husband

• Kaitlyn Michelle Siragusa, better known as Amouranth, announced she is taking a break.
• The statement comes after Amouranth came out with abuse allegations against her husband.

Popular Twitch streamer and Only Fans star Amouranth announced she is "taking a break" days after going public with abuse allegations against her husband.

"Not sure when I'll be back," Amouranth — whose real name is Kaitlyn Siragusa — wrote on Twitter on Wednesday.

Amouranth revealed in a stream on October 15 that she was married and alleged that her husband emotionally abused her, forced her to stream, threatened to kill her dogs, and controlled her finances.

Amouranth alleged the abuse in their relationship had gone on for years. During the stream, she broadcasted a phone call between her and a man suggested to be her husband in which he could be heard yelling at her while she sobbed.

On Monday, she announced that she was "free" and in control of her finances, while her husband was away "getting help." The Twitch streamer is one of the most popular creators on the platform, with nearly 6 million followers; she was the most-watched female streamer on Twitch in the third quarter of 2022, with over 8.5 million hours, according to the analytics service Streams Charts.

Amouranth told Insider in September that her revenue from OnlyFans was around $1.5 million per month, and that she hired a team of personal assistants who helped grow her brand. She recently claimed on Twitter to have made around $27 million on the platform.

Amouranth began streaming in 2016 with cosplay content. She rapidly rose to prominence with ASMR-style content and "hot tub" streams, a subgenre where creators wear swimsuits in inflatable pools and talk with viewers. She is also one of the top influencers on OnlyFans, with over 1 million likes, and has nearly 1 million YouTube subscribers.

A number of popular influencers and Twitch streamers like Valkyrae, Ethan Klein, Lily Pichu, Sasha Grey and more rallied around Amouranth following her abuse allegations. Meanwhile, a section of largely male influencers and fans reacted to the allegations with outrage that Amouranth had not publicly revealed she was married.

One popular YouTuber, online commentator Keemstar, received widespread criticism for a now-deleted tweet that accused Amournath of scamming fans through not disclosing her marriage.

"Reminder that for every Amouranth situation there are somehow people like Keemstar, who downplay an abusive situation and somehow try and put it back on the victim," Twitch streamer and gaming news creator Jake Lucky tweeted.

Amouranth did not immediately return Insider's request for comment.
