Streamer Aspen Kartier is facing widespread backlash after a viral clip from her Twitch livestream appeared to show her hitting her dog. As the video circulated, Twitch banned Aspen from the platform, sparking widespread debate and outrage on social media.
A clip from Aspen Kartier’s Twitch livestream began circulating online Thursday morning, quickly drawing attention from viewers across multiple platforms. In the video, Aspen notices her dog outside of its cage and asks, “How you get out the cage?” Moments later, she grabs the dog and appears to hit it repeatedly while live on stream. Although the dog later moves out of the camera’s view, viewers can still hear the animal crying in the background.
Shortly after the clip went viral, Aspen’s Twitch account was no longer accessible. Multiple reports indicate she was indefinitely suspended from the platform. As of now, Twitch has not publicly confirmed the duration of the suspension or whether the account will be reinstated.
As the clip continued to circulate, social media users flooded comment sections calling for permanent consequences and condemning what they described as animal cruelty. Aspen later addressed the situation on her Instagram Stories, posting a video of her dog while saying, “Tell them that you’re fine.” In another clip, she appeared to throw money onto the dog, a move many viewers interpreted as dismissive.
Hours later, Aspen denied claims that she “stomped” on the dog, a description reported by some outlets, but acknowledged hitting the animal, referring to the incident as a “smack.”
In what many viewers viewed as a trolling move, Aspen also uploaded a photo of her dog set to Andra Day’s ‘Rise Up.’ The caption read, “We will beat these allegations,” intensifying criticism across social media.
Social media users quickly flooded comment sections with strong reactions, with many calling for accountability and condemning the alleged behavior.
