Fortnite streamer MrDeadMoth has reportedly been arrested after footage of him appearing to physically assault his wife on a live stream went viral Saturday.





The footage, taken during one of MrDeadMoth's own ​Fortnite streams, shows him repeatedly shouting at his wife for asking him to get off of the game. Though MrDeadMoth's camera doesn't capture an assault itself, the sound of a physical attack can be heard, as well as the sobbing of both his wife and his child.

In the direct wake of the clip's appearance online, several conflicting reports have appeared. According to ​Twitter user @Cylints, who claims to be in contact with the wife, MrDeadMoth has been arrested but is yet to be charged.
