One of the top-performing streamers on Twitch, Kaitlyn "Amouranth" Siragusa recently set a new followers milestone and established an all-time personal best for her channel. The new follower's high-water mark comes after Amouranth was the top Streamer at TwitchCon last month. Already one of the most successful female streamers on the platform, Amouranth, and her fans needed some good news given the post-TwitchCon controversy regarding her personal life.
Amouranth opened up to her viewers last month and, for the first time, shared details about her personal life. Previously unconfirmed to her fans, Amouranth talked about her husband and shared grim details of spousal abuse. Amouranth alleged that it was her husband forcing her to commit to the long content grind of hot tub streams while keeping their relationship a secret. Amouranth's husband allegedly believed that if everyone knew she was married, it would actively hurt her business. With support from other streamers, including xQc defending her on his Twitch stream, Amouranth took a small break from Twitch before returning to more followers than ever before in her already record-setting career.
Following Amouranth's 5 day break from Twitch, her follower count continued to grow exponentially. In the last month, 138,000 users followed Amouranth, bringing her total to over 6 million total followers. This new milestone is the highest follower count ever for the prolific streamer known for consistent, long streams under Twitch's Just Chatting section. 6 million followers place Amouranth at #22 on the all-time Twitch followers chart. Among female streamers, Amouranth is now #2 behind Pokimane with 9.25 million.
The frequent and lengthy streams that helped make her famous were the subject of one of Amouranth's return streams after her break. Streaming often led to Amouranth developing a grueling sleep schedule that often had her sleeping just three to five hours a night. Following the split from her husband, Amouranth is back to less frequent hot tub streams, while expressing a desire to "wear more clothes" while on camera from now on. Fans have reacted very positively to the recent changes in Amouranth's life with most expressing gratitude that she is safe and healthy.
In recent streams Amouranth is making it clear to her fans that she is ready to move on with her life. With the recent changes of the past month behind her, Amouranth is looking for employees to help run her growing portfolio of business interests. In addition to being one of the top Twitch streamers in the world, Amouranth also owns multiple successful businesses.
